I have figured it out - Cissie & Ada were referring to their mate Florrie and her Cream Lagoon cake.

Here is the receipe for Torta Plava Laguna (Blue Lagoon Cake)

Ingredients:
For the Batter:
9 eggs, separated
pinch of salt
9 tbsp sugar
200g ground, roasted, hazelnuts
100g ground almonds
1 tsp breadcrumbs
1 tsp plain flour

For the Cream:
300g butter
300g caster sugar
300g dark chocolate (at least 75% cocoa solids)
4 eggs

2 tsp instant coffee

Enjoy:D

OMG - 13 eggs!!!!!!

We'll all be clucking round the house!!!!

We'll have to have a "Florrie's Cream Lagoon" as our diary mascot!!!

Oh dear - I missed the afternoon tea party yesterday!

French fanices are my fave - I am sure they used to be called Fondant fancies.

What's a gypsy cream Strumpet?

strumpet

It's a very dark round biscuit, like abourbon but much more cocoa-y. Yummy but very sickly!

But then you'd know having scoffed the whole packet!!!

Only joking!

Horace

Methinks Strumps that you are skating on very thin ice - remember I know where you live and can easily pay you a visit to smack your legs:eek: :rotfl:

Its nearly lunchtime and time to get my daily fix of Neighbours:D

MrsPorridge

I'll have to look out for the gypsy creams. My favourite biscuits are Kimberley biscuits, but you can only get them in Ireland - or on Ebay at an extortionate rate.

strumpet

Well I was very industious last night. I put my two leather armchairs onto ebay AND a large desk that has been sitting in my vestibule for a very long time. I don't care if they go for peanuts as at least I won't have to cart them to the tip.

OH is away tonight in Birmingham. I'll tell him to pop to your house for tea Horace! So I get the bed and duvet to myself.

We are having a mega week at work - the orders have not stopped coming in! This is brilliant after the worries earlier on in the year but my assistant and I are worn out.

In fact - I feel a coffee coming on!

strumpet

Good news for me!

I have done a little work for my organ builder friend during March and can invoice him for £67.50, which is not buckets but better than nothing.

Also, I have agreed to sing for my friend Anthony over the Easter period so I should get some dosh for that too. Four services. They are in Birkenhead though so the diesel might be a bit pricey but should be covered by the fee. Especially if we double up in cars!

He can come round - it will be tea from the chippy tonight and he will have to excuse the mess, I am surrounded by boxes of wedding stuff:rolleyes: He can't stay at mine because I only have one bed and one duvet but he is welcome to come over:D

The tip with duvets is to get two single ones and stick them on your bed that way you can each wrap yourselves in your own duvet - its what they do in Austria:D

Feeling a bit despondent as the wedding shop on millionaires row has decided she already has a wedding planner and doesnt want to use another one because the one they use offers a free service (she won't be in business long if she plans weddings for free:rotfl: ). Still, its their loss and I don't do freebies (well unless its for my closest chums) :j

So Strumps - do you smell nice today? Are you sharing the aftershave with OH? Has your skin improved with all this lovely cream?

Have you thought of hiring yourself out as a singer for weddings?

I smell gorgeous today H. I'm using the posh stuff and it is very nice indeed. Even OH commented on its deliciousness. The cream is fab. Indeed, my friend Terry said my skin wasn't looking as dry as usual, so it must be working. I have been going on the sunbed so I am moisturising constantly anyway. Not all with your cream though!!!:rotfl:

Somehow, being brown and not pasty white lifts my moods greatly.


As for singing for weddings - I have done some of that and a group of friends were going to get together and advertise the service but the commitment was not really there as much as we thought.

OH thanks you for the kind offer of chips but I had not realised he is in Brum at a dinner so will be adequately fed. He is staying in a hotel paid for by work.

My friend Carol is joining Slimming World but is tto scared to go on her own, so I am going to accompany her. It is next Wednesday. Could be interesting!
