    Ah, I asked him to chop the rosemary for the bread for me and he went on a "funny" rampage about how he makes the dinner and does the dishes and takes out the rubbish and and and and and... and all the time he had already chopped the damn rosemary and was just trying to make me go into the kitchen to do it and discover that it was already done for me. I see what he was trying to do but didn't find it funny or cute [STRIKE]and now I'm going to spit in the bread[/STRIKE].

    :rotfl: Tia I got stuck in the bath once while pregnant. I was by myself in the flat, it was rather upsetting. It was lucky it was summer, I was sitting there beached and wet and naked for ages.

    Should ask him if he has a thing for students and does he want to take you a run about in his car to show off down the beech (or your local suped-up-corsa show off point) and if he says yes tell him he's a perv :D:rotfl:

    Am not quite sure his Focus estate would cut it down on the seafront! :rotfl:


    SS, and are you sat on your arriss while he's doing all these job? No, probably not.. :p

    *is intrigued by bacon bread*

    I have a recipe for cheese and bacon bread which is a very easy, no-knead Rachel Allen recipe if anyone wants it.

    'Tis delicious! So delicous in fact that now I have remembered about it I may make some tomorrow. (Not today as cba)

    I have had a lovely nap though, got about an hour until I was awoken by the sound of a hungry baby.

    I am a Cullen! I can get loads of merchandise just for me lol. DH liked the name Jasper if H was a boy, but then he googled it and found out there was some sort of obsession with Cullens, including a Jasper Cullen! That was the first we had heard about the Twilight stuff as it was before the film was released.

    Are you really a Cullen? WOW I am jealous (I think I am a tad too obsessed with the whole francise lol)

    Rustic bacon & cheddar bread from Bake by Rachel Allen

    320g plain flour
    1 tbsp baking powder
    1/2 tsp salt
    1/4 tsp black pepper
    100g cheddar, grated
    100g bacon lardons, cooked until just crispy and cooled
    200ml milk
    2 eggs
    1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
    60ml olive oil

    Preheat oven to 180 degrees / gas mk 4.
    lightly oil and line 5" x 9" loaf tin with parchment paper
    Sift all dry ingredients into large bowl, add cheese and lardons and mix
    Pour milk into large measuring jug, add eggs, mustard and olive oil and whisk to combine
    Make a well in centre of dry ingredients and slowly pour in liquid, stirring all the time until it is all incorporated
    Pour mixture into prepared tin and bake in oven for 50 minutes
    Remove from tin and place directly on oven shelf for further 10 mins to crisp up the base
    When cooked it will sound hollow when tapped on the base.
