Wednesday, 20th November, 2013 The Winchelsea Star 21 Senior Citizens News What a great day we all had on Friday last at the Cuckoo Restaurant up in the Dandenongs. It’s nice to be able to share some outings with the other Senior Citizen Clubs in the area. All together we filled a 54 seater bus from Hutchinsons Buslines. Everyone had some terrific entertainment including a few budding yodellers from Winchelsea. The food was absolutely wonderful and everyone arrived back home full and happy.

Limerick Of The Week Tis strange how the newspapers honour A creature that’s called prima donna. They say not a thing Of how she can sing But reams of the clothes she has on her.

Recipe Of The Week TOMATO AND CHEESE CLAFOUTIS 2 teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil 500g Cherry Tomatoes 1/3 cup snipped Chives 1 cup grated Mature Cheddar Cheese 6 large Eggs 1/3 cup Plain Flour 1/4 cup reduced fat Sour Cream 300ml Low fat milk Salt and Pepper Preheat oven to190c. Lightly brush a large ovenproof dish with the oil. Spread out the cherry tomatoes and sprinkle over the chives and three quarters of the cheese. Whisk the eggs together in a bowl, then gradually whisk in the flour until smooth. Add the sour cream, then gradually whisk in the milk to make a thin smooth batter. Season with the salt and pepper. Gently pour the batter over the tomatoes. Sprinkle over the remaining cheese and an extra grinding of pepper. Bake for 30 - 35 minutes or until set, puffed up and lightly golden. Remove the clafoutis from the oven and set it aside to cool for a few minutes before serving, as the tomatoes will be very hot inside. Serve for lunch or dinner with bread or boiled new potatoes and green beans. Serves 4. Do You Know Your Town? Pop quiz on Winchelsea... • This year, the WWW Group formed.
