Quests & Challenges

Hmm, no it isn't. Is it possible you could host it on Imgur? That always works pretty well on Flight Rising's forums.

Edit: Thank you, we can see it now!

[b]Cauliflower Cheese[/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/CIhMMOR.png[/img] This is an old favourite, but mum and I do it with the corn flakes on top, which makes it next level yum! I confess I got slightly distracted on FR while this was cooking (rookie mistake), so it's ever so slightly overdone, but not in a way that matters! [img]https://i.imgur.com/5NX7g0A.jpg[/img] [b]Ingredients[/b] 1 medium head cauliflower, broken into large florets 40g/1½oz butter 40g/1½oz plain flour 400ml/14fl oz milk 1 tsp English mustard (this is to taste, and you can use different mustard if you want) 100g/3½oz mature cheddar cheese, grated (or so :p) salt and freshly ground black pepper 1/2 cup Corn Flakes, lightly crushed (this quantity is a guess... grab a handful, crush it up a bit, sprinkle on top. Repeat until you've got enough!) [b]Method[/b] Preheat the oven to 190C/170C Fan/Gas 5. Wash the cauliflower thoroughly and place in a large saucepan of salted water. Bring to the boil and cook for 3-5 minutes, until the cauliflower is almost tender, but still fairly firm. Tip into a colander and leave to drain. (Or cook in the microwave). To make the sauce, melt the butter in a medium, heavy-based pan and stir in the flour. Cook over a gentle heat for one minute. Remove the pan from the heat and gradually add the milk, a little at a time*, stirring well between each addition. Return the pan to a medium heat and bring the mixture to the boil, stirring constantly. Simmer for two minutes, then remove from the heat. Stir in the mustard and two thirds of the cheese and set aside. Arrange the cauliflower in and ovenproof baking dish. Carefully pour over the sauce, ensuring the cauliflower is completely covered**. Sprinkle over the corn flakes, then top with remaining cheese and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden-brown and bubbling. * Note, it's really important to add the milk a little at a time while the mix is still thick, then stir until smooth. Otherwise it's likely to get lumpy and much harder to get those lumps out. **My sauce was super thick, which is great, but if that's the case, it might be easier to put in half the cauli, then some sauce, then the rest of each, so that you can spread it through easier. Shaking the dish helps get the sauce to mix through.

[b]Choc Chip Cookies[/b] [img]https://i.imgur.com/aWmDW8Z.png[/img] OMG, I love these ones. The texture and flavour is sooo goooood. [img]https://i.imgur.com/cimBSBv.jpg[/img] [b]Ingredients[/b] 1 Cup Plain Flour 1/4 Cup Brown Sugar 1/2 Cup White Sugar 1/4 tspn Bicarb Soda (Baking Soda) 1/2 tspn Salt 1 tspn Vanilla 125g Butter 1 Egg 250g Choc Chips (I prefer melty ones than hold your shape ones, but each to their own) [b]Method[/b] 1 Beat butter, sugars and vanilla with a mixer on medium speed until well blended 2 Beat in egg, mixing well 3 Add flour, baking soda and salt, mixing slowly to incorporate, then beat to blend well 4 Stir in choc chips 5 Drop batter in ~1 tablespoon portions onto a baking sheet, about 5cm apart 6 Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C for about 10 minutes - until the edges of the cookies are brown but the centre is still pale 7 Let cookies cool on tray for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely (well, the ones you haven' eaten already!) PS I got so excited about making these quickly that I forgot I'd be taking a photo, so took no care regarding size/spacing... but they still taste good!

Wow, what an amazing spread. I wish I could taste all of them. [emoji=coatl tongue size=1] Just a little note to let everyone know that today is the last day of Greenskeeper Gathering! If you want to enter the contest and haven't yet, make sure you do by the end of today! Also, Happy Pride Month to all Americans! [emoji=pastel rainbow size=1]
