Prompted by Liz and Helen, here's an update on this week's baking (if not making, but I've seen something in Tesco....)

Pear and ginger loaf

This one is the second one I've made this weekend. The first was double quantity and in a 2lb tin. This one is a 1lb tin and is gluten and dairy free. I'm hoping it tastes as good as it looks! It's for school tomorrow - senses poetry, based on autumn. We also have dairy free butternut squash soup (but not gluten free as I'd used a veg oxo cube before I realised it had wheat flour in). Yes, I have lots of allergies in my class this year. 

Also made this week are apple and ginger fairings (brilliantly crunchy but should've been pear - must look out for dried pears) and Malteser biscuits (squishy and cookie like), both from Miranda Gore Browne's book, Biscuit. www.mirandagorebrowne.typepad.com (Not worked out links on the galaxy note yet!) 

Both have been popular, but the malteser ones were the favourites. 

And if I ever get to the end of the job list, there's plenty of things I want to make!
