First off, Whisky & Chilli Prawns ... finger licking good, right? Well, if truth be told, this wasn't an over-riding success but I think that's because the prawns I used were just too small. The recipe can be found here and is pretty straight forward to follow. Here's how they should look ...
Mine weren't particularly sticky, but again I think this was due to the size of the prawns. Instead of using the left over glaze as a dipping sauce, I cooked up some noodles, added some chopped corriander and tossed everything together ... resulting in a slightly sticky Asian influenced prawn + noodle combo ...
Not bad, but could be better. Note to self: BUY KING PRAWNS NEXT TIME!
Next up and it was Whoopie time! I've been wanting to make these for a while. Even the name "whoopie pie" sounds like a celebration of all things good & sweet doesn't it? And oh boy are they sweet!!!
These definitely aren't for the faint hearted (or those counting calories for that matter) as there's a whole lot of sugar in them there pies! But DH has the sweetest tooth of anyone I know and as far as I can tell, he approved ...
Both recipes are from Lorraine Pascal's Baking Made Easy recipe book ... which just so happens to be my favourite recipe book at the moment!!! Can you tell?

Sue, me too, many new food experiences! However, I'm not so good about trying new recipes. I think prawns any way turns out yummy and so does yours. Can you box over some of those whoopi pies for me? They look overly scrumptious.
We've made the same mistake with buying shrimp before!!! Thankfully we've all learned our lessons!!
I want to try whoopie pies too -- since it's too hot to turn on the oven, I bought a groupon to try them at a local bakery :)
Yummy! Everything looks delicious, Sue!
ooo lots of yummies this week! I recently cooked a shrimp dish as well and it was yummy! Yours look delicious. I love noodles! and the whoopie pie looks gorgeous!
Yum-yum !!! All this seems delicious ! xoxo
Oh Sue that food looks good! Especially liked your prawns - great idea to throw the noodles in there and coriander. Coriander is one of my favorites of all time - it's ranked even above basil I think. Would put it on anything I could - do you love it too?
