No that's not the same at all Barbara,
If you see a picture online you can right click it, copy and paste it in here, or you can save it to your laptop/pc and then use the button just below here, next door to the smileys, then you find your picture and click open.
There are some how to's in the green your community banner on the lhs, see if they help you

VEGAN BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING
comfort food,easy,refined sugar-free,Xmas
- serves: 4
- prep: 20 min
- cooking: 30 min
INGREDIENTS
- 2 tbsp raisins (or dried cranberries)
- 2-3 tbsp brandy or marsala wine
- 185 g / 1¼ cup cashew nuts, soaked overnight*
- 300 ml / 1¼ cup soy milk (or other thin plant based milk)
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 60 ml / 4 tbspmaple syrup, adjust to taste
- ¾ tsp cinnamon, plus more for sprinkling
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp ground cloves
- 1 tbspcornflour / corn starch
- 8 slices quality sourdough**
- 2 tbsp vegan butter orcoconut oil
- 2 tbsp diced candied orange peel
- 1汤匙石榴种子
- 1 tbsp orange marmalade (optional) OR coconut / date sugar
METHOD
- Soak the raisins in brandy and set aside.
- Place the soaked and rinsed cashews (discard the soaking water) in a blender. Add half of the soy milk, put the lid on but leave the opening on the top. Start blending the cashews while trickling the remaining soy milk through. You should end up with a thick liquid resembling cream.
- Add vanilla essence, maple syrup and all the spices for a gingerbread flavoured custard. Finally add cornflour (cornstarch) while the blender is running to prevent lumps from forming.
- Grease a baking dish with vegan butter or coconut oil and preheat the oven to 180° C / 355° F (or 160° C / 320° F fan forced).
- Cut the bread slices in half and ‘butter’ them on both sides with vegan butter or coconut oil.
- Pour a bit of custard at the bottom of the dish, followed by a few raisins and some candied orange. Arrange the buttered bread slices snugly so that their cut sides stand half immersed in custard (fill the empty spaces with small pieces of bread). Sprinkle some more raisins and orange peel over the top. Top the bread slices with more custard, filling all the empty spaces. Set aside for 30 minutes to allow the bread to soak up the custard.
- Dilute the marmalade with a teaspoon of hot water to create a glaze. Brush parts of the bread that stick out of the custard with this glaze, sprinkle with some extra cinnamon, leftover candied orange pieces and coconut (or date) sugar if you don’t want to use a marmalade glaze.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the custard thickens and the bread colours nicely. Decorate with leftover raisins, orange peel and pomegranate arils for a touch of festive colour.
❤️

Morning, is there any tea? Milk but no sugar please.
Right, for later we are having:
Pasta with creamy mushroom sauce
Many are convinced that pasta invariably contains eggs and, although it is true that a few traditional Italian pasta dishes are made with egg pasta, the standard pasta that the Italians eat every single day is, in fact, egg-free. To enjoy this great vegan recipe by The Vegan Corner, pick up some dry pasta in your local supermarket: the vast majority will be eggless!
Ingredients
- 1 cup (140g / 5 oz) onions, diced
- 1 1/4 cups (140g / 5 oz) mushrooms, diced
- 1 1/4 cups (240g / 8.5 oz) tomatoes, diced
- 10 sage leaves, chopped
- 1/2 cup (120ml) soy milk
- black pepper
- 2 tbsp (30g) vegan cream
- 1 cup (200g / 7 oz) pasta, uncooked
- salt
Method
- To begin with, place a non-stick pan onto a medium heat, and tip in the onions, the mushrooms, the tomatoes, the sage, the milk and the black pepper, stir, and cook the ingredients for about 3 minutes.
- To complete the sauce, add in the vegan cream, stir it in, and add salt to taste. If you see that the sauce is getting dry, add in some extra milk or water as needed.
- Cook the pasta as instructed on the packet, and as soon as it is ready, drain it, add it into the pan with the sauce, and stir the ingredients together to obtain the final dish.
Flipping 'eck, that was easy. Fantastic. I love these forums. Well done web designers and mods.
