very embarassed: a ginger loaf cake from a packet in Mr Sainsbury's. We kept it (so actually I made it yesterday) a day before eating it and had it with butter on. It was all squidgy like the Macvitties ones, and really good. Ooops - I never make packet cakes so I don't know why it found its way into my trolley, but it might again ! - would be nice with custard or ice cream as a pud too......0

I feel the two are connected0 -
I am on a diet so I dug out this Weightwatchers cookbook a few days ago and made the chocolate brownies, and today I made a lemon drizzle sponge. Both turned out lovely, and don't taste 'diet' at all, one of my friends wouldn't believe the brownies were only two points each
It's a very nice book, I'd recommend it.0 -
