    shop assistants can either be fantastic or completely useless - sounds like the one you encountered was the latter - good luck at the shops:xmassmile

    Indeed. In these situations I find an elderly lady and ask for advice. They are generally more than happy to help and know a thing or too!

    That said the last time I did this I was looking for cream of tartare and no-one I spoke too knew what it was (shop assistants and other patrons alike). Thankfully I managed to find it on my own... Had no idea it was a powder, wonder what was going through the persons head who named it?

    Ahh...Mrs_Pepperpot....would you be angling for an invite? :whistle: :D

    I have a new book entitled "Pie", thoughtfully supplied by Father Christmas (AKA Buff n Stab), which looks to be fantastic. It might be 2 courses - one savoury and one sweet. Whaddya reckon? :confused:

    Now come on here!! There are those of us that have stayed in the background but definitely deserve an invite! I've watched you through thick and thin, it's payback!

    PS I did think of a drill-bit when you needed a skewer!!!

    That looks good enough to eat by itself!!!

    I think following the successes with pastry... this could be a revelation. Be sure to advertise the date and time - I'll bring the popcorn!!!

    (PS. I'm a huge fan of your work ;) )

    Churchmouse, you most definitely deserve an invite. However, you live in London, not just round the corner like Mrs_Pepperpot. Makes it a bit tricky but I'm open to suggestions! :D

    Oh dear. If you came for tea I'd have to cook, and clean the whole house. :eek:

    I'll let you know when it's tidy. :D
