    [your whited out bit]

    I was getting that for a while too - I think it must be things resettling into place. I did loads of tests and was sure I was halfway through percolating a second :rotfl:

    Okay, roll out the pastry (if it's not ready rolled). Cut out the right number of squares for one each. I would make them about 3" square. Then you want to score a border round each one and !!!!! the middle bit a few time with a fork so the edge puffs up but the middle doesn't.

    Slice the onion, fry it in olive oil until soft then add a dollop of balsamic and a pinch of sugar and cook for a bit longer.

    Bung the onions on the pastry squares, add a slice of goats cheese on each and bake for about 20 minutes (but check after 15 in case I'm wrong).

    Does that help? You could make them up in advance, put in the fridge then just bake when you want them.



    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:It edited out the p r i c k with a fork!

    So basically I cut 4 squares of the ready rolled, bung stuff on then bake. My oven is fast so 15 would probably be right. Will get it all prepared whilst Maddy is asleep earlier in the day. If I'm clever enough I could do what DD does and make the plates pretty with the dressing. :cool:

    I keep getting that too, but clearly there is no danger of anything untoward happening here!!

    CAFC what was their response? I must have missed that!

    Glad to know I'm not going crazy! It's only really noticable at night time when I'm lying on my side.

    I was trying to work out what it had edited out. Probably a sign I should take myself off to bed. Night all.

    Engand somewhere, eventually! I just know I don't want to be living here in a few years time.

    So as I'm currently a council tennant. would that apply to me, if you do house exchanges? It's proper confusing, I thought it was for new people going on the housing list. Oh well, if its not coming in until about 2012, we only have a year or so to put up with it before we can kick them out (which will happen) I notice the rich remained unscathed, how unsurprising!

    And pensioners. :mad: Loads here, 90% of this developement is retired. 6 holidays a year, golf, big cars, etc etc. Why the frigg do they need winter fuel payments and bus passes. Will make an interesting conversation with MIL next week. :cool: Not saying lots don't need it as they do, but should be means tested. Can't belive my Mum gets all this and hardly worked all her adult life!!! :mad:

    God my mum serves spew food, I just ate a micro curry, I wish I was at home eating my misshapen Xmas biscuits :mad:

    Oh Its gonna repeat on me all night. Bleugh.

    That's good to know Tara and Wilma ;) just kinda caught up and see you said that.

    I wouldn't pay a fiver more for my flat, and honestly, my house is CRAWLING with beasties (carpet beetles) I thought my killing spree, bleach down the backs of cupboards and archie eating them had eradicated them but no :mad: obviously every douche in the building has their central heating on and they are breeding like mad. Went to the toilet at 2am last night and there was like a party on the floor, GADS, I grabbed a bottle of castor oil and killed them all and left their corpses there to be a warning to the others!!! (and i was just too tired to find the sweeping brush as my kitchen door is broken and you have to kung fu kick it open)
