You could always substitute for something else. I don't like goats cheese either. The good thing about the cookalong is that we probably will all do it a different way and can see which substitutions work. If the Asparagus Tart wins I will be using something else or I will have to eat the whole thing myself as no-one likes asparagus here

When does the vote close AG?

**August Girl** · 28-04-2006, 10:26pm

**noo noo** · 28-04-2006, 10:31pm

Thanks! Just wondering if I would have time to add the ingredients to my Tesco order next week!!!

**August Girl** · 28-04-2006, 10:37pm

I was a bit slow off the mark this month with the site being down then getting used to the new one. I'll try and be better next time.

I just noticed the poll closing date is at the top of the page.

I should think so! :wik:

**Mad Madam Mim** · 28-04-2006, 10:40pm

The muffins look lovely and OH would love them - two flavours too

**katkinn** · 29-04-2006, 07:48am

errrrr am I missing something??

a) why is everything vegetarian
b) why isn't there a proper meal as such (bar the tart thing which is MEGA fattening)

I surely can't be the only one who is watching my weight

and don't need muffins, scones and tarts hanging round the house

I *thought* the point was to cook something that was

a) difficult so we could all practise and see if it worked and
b) something special that we wouldn't cook normally

none of the above float my boat

(and obviously not many other people seeing by the lack fo responses

)

But chances are I've missed something as I'm a dufus at the moment

Twas really looking forward to having a crack at a good, difficult, time consuming, special occasion, savoury meal

**Narcissa Malfoy** · 29-04-2006, 09:02am

Aah - now I got the impression that this cookalong was about baking Katkinn. So my mind was on savoury tarts, pies etc. I think that was the original idea but then again I could also be totally wrong!!!!

Good idea about trying a very difficult time consuming meal though - maybe that could be another challenge we have on a monthly basis?

Yes you are missing the fact that its BAKING!!! :roll:

Because you don't often get a chance to do it in day-to-day cooking thats why it would be a challenge.

I would have thought AG's initial name of a bake-a-long might have given it away?! no? ;-)

**katkinn** · 29-04-2006, 11:06am

mmm so can someone therefore explain to me why this thread is called "cookalong" rather than "bakealong" ;-)

ooh and just been and had a look and infact all the threads with suggestions are also titled MAY COOKALONG! HAH!!! NOT such a dufus!!!!!

And I personally consider "baking" anything that goes on the oven - no?? Rather than fattening scones, muffins and tarts!!! (and surely there aren't THAT many options that you can do other than a savoury tart, a muffin or a scone. A pie maybe?)

oh well - I wish you all the best of luck ;-)

eta that I have noticed ORGINALLY it was called a bakealong when AG was seeing if anyone would be interested - BUT that was in a SWEET option and then the idea of a savoury cookalong was brought up on the thread. So shall we settle at us both being right and me still being pissed off that it's savoury fattening cooking HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you miss this then Katkinn?

Maybe it would be nice to start something up? It would be nice to try some very complicated recipe once a month and discuss/compare.

**Mad Madam Mim** · 29-04-2006, 02:17pm

Is it nesessary to be so picky about a fun cooking/baking thing? Just wondering? It's once a month so there is plenty of time for YOU to make some suggestions of your own Kat

I'm not trying to be rude- honest! but that bugged me a bit.
