NOW YOU CAN MAKE THEM TOO

NOW YOU CAN MAKE THEM TOO

ABOVE: you need a jelly mould that has three components... mine is a Tupperware one and it's just fabulous for this.

 ABOVE: put the bottom piece on to the mould bit....

ABOVE:  cut the crusts off about two loaves of bread, butter them and (with the buttered side facing upwards) line the bottom of the jelly mould, overlapping the bread.

ABOVE:  put the first layer of filling in, in this case it was egg/cheese mixed together...

ABOVE: then put the second layer of bread on, again with the buttered sides upwards.

ABOVE: then put the second layer of filling in (ham here, but you can use any meat or fish)...
and then another layer of buttered bread...

ABOVE: then put a third layer of filling in... (mine was lettuce, cheese and some mayonnaise...

 ABOVE: it is going to get a bit full, but don't worry ... you can just squish it all down as you go....

  ABOVE:  finally put the last layer of bread on, this time with the buttered side FACING DOWN.
Trim any excess bread from around the edges with a knife... put the seal on while pressing down firmly.  Place in the fridge for at least 2 hours to allow it to 'set' a bit.

 ABOVE:  take the seal off and turn it upside down on a plate.... then pull the 'bottom bit' off too...

ABOVE: cut into nice segments, using the mould lines as a guide....

ABOVE: and there you have them, perfect little club sandwiches! 
You can jazz these up by placing bits of parsley or chives on the outside of the bread as you build up the layers....or use white bread and wholemeal bread....

I love using this method of making club sandwiches.  You can prepare it and then if you are taking it on a picnic or whatever you can just chuck the whole thing in the car without worrying about the sandwiches falling apart.... you just need a knife and plate when you want to cut them up and eat them! 

You can also use the jelly mould to make amazing desserts using sponge/cake and fruit layered ... devine!  You are only limited by your imagination.

TODAY:  Steve, Mum and I are all going up to the school at 11am for an IEP for Griffin.  THAT should be interesting.  They have lost the funding (I think?) to offer Griffin any 'extra' help within the school this year.  So I am keen to see what help they can offer him now.

Apart from that we don't have any firm plans... which is good cos I want to make a start on my blue quilt soon!   I can hardly wait to see how it's going to look!

ONWARD....

SADLY we lost our third goldfish overnight... BUT NOT HOW YOU WOULD THINK!  I will tell you all about it tomorrow!!!

HI!  back home after a long day out with Mum... the IEP went so well I was gobsmacked!  Griffin has a Teacher Aide in his classroom 3 days a week to help him with his writing/spelling... not all day of course, but still anything is better than nothing!

After attending the meeting, Mum and I had lunch then went to Spotlight and bought some fabric for my Blue Quilt (Yet to be started)... and then came home.  

The weather has finally taken a turn towards winter... it's raining with a very cool wind.  Mum is FREEZING!  She is going home to Australia tomorrow, she can't wait.  She hates being cold.

End of Day: and it's been another long busy day here.  I made an amazingly yummy beef/mushroom/tomatoe stew in the slow cooker for dinner... OMG it was nice!
DIET: all good there today
nite nite.
