    Just got a gammon joint (small one) resting, and have the bottom part of a 'queen of puddings'- the custard part, in the oven just now. Used up the rest of my breadcrumbs for it- first time I tried it so hope it is good ;).

    Can I come and have dinner in your house? I love queen of puddings but DH won't eat it so I never get to make/eat it :(

    I've just done a couple of tried and tested favourites today - banana and chocolate muffins for my Portuguese class tonight, and some oatmeal biscuits that I like to have with cheese (from Be-Ro). Oh and a big pot of lentil soup in the pressure cooker for dinner tonight (not baking but still) and I'm not sure I can last that long because I can smell it and it's making me hungry.

    I haven't baked yet but I do plan to. PANIC! I've run out of Twinks HobNobs, so that's what I'll be doing later.

    I have half of it left (yes we have had tea as we eat early with DS!)- hope it will keep ok to be reheated ?
    DS loved it, which is odd as he normally steers clear of eggy things!

    Parkin. And a potato. :D
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.
