Ingredients
1 ripe avocado
500 ml milk (full cream milk works best)

Yummy potato
Recipe:
Potatoes, sliced thinly, @ 2 or 3 large (depending how many you are feeding)
Butter, @ 60 - 100 grams
Salt and pepper,
Cream, @ 1/4 cup
Milk @ 1/2 cup
Instructions:
Layer sliced potatoes in a casserole dish, put some dobs of butter on top, salt and pepper, do another layer until all the potatoes are used. Mix some cream and milk together and pour over potatoes. Cook in microwave on high for 10-15 minutes, then put into 180 celsius oven until browned on top and cooked through. Beware this is not good for your waistline. I previously added a sprinkle of plain flour before the milk and cream, but it didn't always dissolve, so now I omit it.

Curried pumpkin scones!
4 cups s/r flour
2 cups cooked-soft pumpkin
1/2 cup of sugar
1 egg
2 heaped t spoons curry powder
300mls full cream.

Combine all but the flour and cream components in a measured jug. Add cream to the mixture such that it doesn't exceed 600 mls. If it doesn't reach 600mls plain milk can be added to top up.
Sift the 4 cups of flour into a reasonable sized bowl and add the the jug mixture to combine to a dough.
Pre-heat an oven to 200°C.
Dust a clean bench area with flour and tip the measure on to it. Pat the mixture out to approximately 15mm thick.
Use a "biscuit cutter" (or an average drinking glass will do) to cut out the scones.
Put baking paper on a large oven tray, install the scones and place in the oven for approx 10-12 minutes.
Check with a skewer.
When cooked cover with a teatowel and allow to cool
or you can eat then promptly as you wish.
Served with a dab of butter... delicious 😊
What flavour of ‘curry powder’ do you use?. There is no one flavour of curry powder, to my knowledge, as curries themselves are all different tastes.

My sister hates pineapple-like refuses to eat anything with pineapple in it! She loved this dessert! I may not have told her that there was pineapple in it, but when I did, it didn’t stop her from eating it!
