It's not rocket science, so why don't I get it?

she also did a 3 type of tomato,rocket & basil salad ,,,,,,:T

okay so it was in a round loaf with the top cut off , the inside made into croutons cooked in lashings of olive oil & garlic ,
sliced yellow pepper,
roasted tomatoes cooked with balsamic and sugar ,
raw cherries and [strike]another I forget[/strike], sun blushed
tossed with the rocket and croutons , then stuffed back in the loaf. :T

The loaf is best slightly old , just so it can soak up the juices (oil).:T

That sounds amazing!! Did she just put the tomatoes etc in the hole in the loaf or was there something that bound them altogether? Do you just slice it and serve? Want.....

Perhaps you could help the boss with his economising. Take a bread knife to his loo roll and halve it or better still replace the full roll with an empty one to save on paper. Remove the fuses from all electrical appliances within his office to save on electricity. Place a large tub of pre-used wet tea bags in the staff kitchen somewhere warm remembering to add teeny bit of milk first to encourage tea bag reuse. However I think the best example of recycling ever requires a cheese plant or some other highly tolerant plant which you can water liberally with old milky tea and coffee. After a few weeks they're very aromatic especially in a confined space near a radiator. Your bosses office sounds perfect and a pot plant cheers everyone up.

...his office has a selection of office tolerant plants...:whistle:

Moo, what a marvellously naughty person you are! By strange co-incidence I never finish the last bit of my coffee and feel a bit embarrassed leaving the mug to gather that nasty ring round the bottom....and I believe very strongly in recycling....

she mixed it all in a bowl first then put it in the hole , nothing to bind it apart from the oil from the roasted/balasmic toms
she said leave it for 10-30 mins to soak the juices then cut and serve

Think this would be perfect to eat out in the overgrown garden on a sunny evening with a bottle of chilled wine...

Have written it up into my recipe file and renamed it hamster's loaf

Wish I was brave enough to do the ex-lax cakes - sigh...

Still, it is Friday and the sun is shining and I've been cleared by the scratch cards militia for withdrawing my winnings - £30! The bank assured them I was not money laundering :rolleyes:

Have had a call from the yard to say the Captain has spent the night in the miniature horse paddock :rolleyes: Would appear he's jumped six fences to get there...

Loving the naughty plant advice on here by the way

and captain - he must look like a giant compared with those wee ponies????


Waves from here too - glad my cooking is inspiring you - embrace the chocolate cake.

You coudl always make a batch of twinks hob nobs after using the oats in a hamster cage or in the cats litter tray first - send them to him as a special treat.

or can't you use oats and sugar in a body scrub thing.......then reuse them as hobnobs

first mix 8oz sugar with 8oz oats

Use vigoursly as a full over body scrub

COllect oats, add usual twinks ingredients - bake and wrap with a bow for his use only.
