Yay - long weekend. Any excuse for a bit of festivity, fun and a big cook up. I have seen photos of many of my UK friends Jubilee celebrations from last weekend, I loved the way they all got involved with backyard celebrations and decorations, enjoying the Royal pageantry, concerts and other various events.
Here in Melbourne we have the long weekend this week for the 'Queen's Birthday' so I decided to have my own British style celebration.
Scones, Coronation Chicken Baguette's and Scotch Eggs were on the menu. First attempt at the scones and I decided to use my Gran's cookbook - it's a Western Australian home ec book that she gave to my Dad in 1969. I love this cookbook as it has my Gran's Pavlova recipe hand written in the back cover.
If I never try cooking scotch eggs again it will be too soon. So much for easy picnic food. They were tasty but a serious process.
For those Royalists who really want to get involved you can even send your own message to the Queen to celebrate her Diamond Jubilee. Or if you are really struggling for ways to fill your weekend - study up on 60 facts about the Queen.
