    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    Lol... come on now, this is the OS board... why would you spend money on a rolling pin when a clean wine bottle would do the job perfectly well!!! :)

    Don't drink wine, so none of those either. Actually on the wagon, at the moment. :eek:

    Anyway, I need to make another cake first. :D

    A shameless plug for your new post, I see... :rotfl:

    OK then, since you're so keen to share your exploits, here's a *bump* to attract yet more attention...

    Annie :p

    Totally shameless. :D

    As is my reply to this post in order to bump it again. :rotfl:

  • Thought you'd like this cake recipe - it doesn't even need to go in the oven!

    Very More-ish refridgerator cake

    4oz / 100g butter
    3oz / 75g golden syrup
    1oz / 25g cocoa powder
    4oz / 100g seedless raisins (or I use dried cranberries - very yummy!)
    8oz / 200g mixed sweet biscuits, crushed (very cheap ones are fine)
    4oz / 100g milk chocolate

    Well grease a 6" - 7" cake tin or pie dish (I also line with baking parchment)
    Put butter, syrup, cocoa & dried fruit into a saucepan and heat gently until butter has melted. Stir in crushed biscuits. Press into tin and leave to cool in fridge until set. Melt chocolate in a bowl over hot water and then spread over cake. Put back in fridge to set then remove from tin & cut.
    I defy you to make this last more than a few days!

    Mr BadExample - you never fail to amaze me the things you are trying to do - good on you! Sorry if this sounds patronizing, but so few blokes would even have a go. You deserve a star! Also if the cake turns out well - a gold star!!:)

    I think he will have to re-name himself!....is he really a Bad Example now????

    So far i've read, the caully cheese thread, the stew thread, and i'm half way through this one.....

    .....bad example?.... I think not..... More adventurous men here please!!!!
    Ladies, direct your man to these threads. Or simply leave the page open on the screen for him to 'accidently find!! hahaha

    (mind you...if you did change your name, would we still recognise you??)
