    There are no measurements, it is by guess & by God
    Blimey, you found a better rendering of it than I did. Losing my touch!

    :)

    For measurements: Start with identically sized amounts.... I usually start with a heaped teaspoon, or a heaped tablespoon, depending what I'm making it for.

    Teaspoon's enough for starting a slice of Welsh rarebit .... tablespoon for mac cheese.

    .... tin of cheapo spaghetti to them, which I know will be another disappointment

    I found a splash of balsamic vinegar made these better/easily. My first bottle of balsamic, my first foray into "buying strange foreign posh stuff", 4ldi, 59p/bottle. Handy for cheapo spaghetti I find.

    I've a whole secret blog of it all ... but I'm ashamed of the mostly cr4ppy photos (very very poor dim lighting in the kitchen means in winter they can hardly be seen; in summer very very limited space ... and no "lifestyle/soft focus" shots). That's why I don't declare its location :)

    One of the problems is that, CFO, I often just eat with a big spoon from the dish things are cooked in - which tend to be old microwave plastics - which don't make for great photos either.... and with 0 attention to presentation as "it's just for me".

    My cooking experience/style and retro eating habits aren't for most people.... so it's best to stay quiet and just let random googlers discover the bit they were looking for.

    But if what I do works for some of you, I might one day declare where it is.

    Works for me :). I just fancied something different and made your marmalade nuked pudding, and wow was that good. I had it with custard and it is delicious, and so quick and easy. I was looking at the rest and thinking that I should probably save it for tomorrow, but I think it will probably get eaten at some point this evening, as a snack while watching tv :D.

    I've a feeling .... some of you might soon be ready for my "instant DIY Goblin puddings" recipe :)

    We'll wait a bit, it's not "proper winter" yet.

    Oh yes, I had forgotten about them. I used to love them many moons ago. They used to be in tins. They're something else that I tried again a few years back, and I felt the same way about them as I do the Fray Bentos pies!.
