Rage in Eden - I only venture very carefully away from this board. The ebay board is perhaps the least pink and fluffy board on here, with the housing board following close behind. Stick your head above those parapets at your own peril - it's like feeding dragons unfamiliar coal, likely to be explosive and unpredictable.

Well I certainly won't be going on there again. No wonder I am thinking of giving e-bay up!

Thanks Churchmouse I do like recipes which use only ingredients I already have in the house I've never worked out cup measures though - any idea of volume in terms of dividing an actual squash? e.g. I've got 2 large squash - for a 2-onion recipe would a whole one be too much? And how many cups is a pint of stock?

Redruby - I am hoping to send you some more goodies soon

Ok here goes, as I said I got it off of here somewhere, but can't remember who to credit for it, but its great :T

50 gms Black treacle
50 gms Golden syrup
100gms Marg
100gms Sugar

Warm together in a pan.

175 gms Plain flour
1 teasp Bicarb
1 Tabsp Ground ginger
50 gm Chopped crystallised ginger ( I left this out as I did not have any, and It works just as well )

Mix the above in a bowl.

1 Medium egg
1/4 pint milk

Mix all ingredients together to make a batter then bake in a 2lb loaf tin for an hour 180*c. It will be ready when it have risen and formed a crust on top, but still sticky / soft in the middle.


Enjoy :T

Hi everyone,

Not much OS to report today. Mostly been applying for jobs, managed to get a couple of hours work next week at uni so far, hopefully the CV drop in town tomorrow will help.

Going shopping tomorrow for futher bits and bobs to get back on with the cooking. Tonight we're having nachos for dinner, possibly with rice...seems a bit strange but I'm hoping it will be ok (really need to go shopping, lol). Had the WM and DW on today, kitchen still a tip but will get there in the end! Still feel in holiday mode I think so need to pull myself together and get on with everything I need to do before I get too busy working.

Take care and keep warm everyone, *huggles* for those who need/want them.
