Zucchini and Bacon Slice

Ingredients

6 eggs
1 large zucchini grated
1 carrot grated
1/2 onion finely diced
1/2 cup grated cheese
300g thinly sliced bacon
Pinch of baking powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Method

Beat the eggs in a large bowl then add salt, pepper and baking powder. Gently stir these ingredients together. Pour into a baking dish lined with baking paper for 25mins at 180 degrees.

This slice is great in lunch boxes. It holds its shape and holds stacks of nutrition as well.  This is one of my favorites.  I have lost count how much zucchini slice we ate while protesting in the freezing cold out side the gates of AGL's Frack farm at Gloucester NSW.   It kept us fed and happy.

Homemade Icecream

This is the only ice cream I had as a child... it is yummy as.

Ingredients

• 2 cans Carnation (evaporated) milk
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 pinch salt
• 2 teaspoons gelatin*

(*dissolved in 1/4 cup of very warm water and allow this to stand until the mixture becomes clear)

Directions

1. Beat salt, vanilla and milk at medium to fast speed until ingredients triple in amount.
2. Gradually, while still beating the  mixture add the sugar followed by the gelatine.
3. Place ice-cream mixture in a container and freeze this for several hours - remembering to stir the mixture occasionally during the freezing process.

NB. If you look around second hand shops and or garage sales you will find metal trays which in the days when fridges first happened these doubled as ice trays and ice cream trays by lifting out the metal insert.  These usually came with the refrigerator.

Very collectable if you come across these.  Any freezer proof container will do the job.  In my day we did not have plastic so it was metal or nothing.
