Tuesday 15th July - More Treasure

Impossible Pie

I've made another Impossible Pie, this time a chocolate one using a recipe from the Guardian Newspaper kindly passed on by Ang.

It's looking good;

I really don't like desiccated coconut, so substituted toasted oats. I haven't cut into the Pie yet so I don't know if that will have worked. Certainly the bits that overflowed the paper tasted great. Half quantities, cooked in the air fryer again. I used the same timing and temperature; the proof will be in the eating!

The Korean Chest

The next row of drawers all opened easily enough; 


The first drawer was empty 

Little yellow ribbon flowers on wire stems covered in green ribbon 

Candle rings; orange artificial flowers on plastic rings which you drop over a candle 

A dark brown and therefore nearly invisible cloth bag for glasses

An ammonite, cut into two halves and polished, plus small plastic stands to display them

String

Another white card, unlabelled, and a lost screw.

The ammonites are so intricately made, close up.

Music

Pianists just like to have fun...

  1. The Korean Chest is a wonder!

    Please share how the pie comes out with toasted oats as bear loathes coconut, but I love the impossible pie. I never thought of trying a substitute.

  2. I often make Impossible pies sweet and also savory but I have not tried the chocolate. I'll wait for your opinion on it.

  4. I've never heard of Impossible pie so had to look it up.
