    No you're all right, I'm very discreet!!
    You never get a second chance to make a first impression.
  • I'm so sorry church mouse - really wasn't angling for an invite. Was looking forward to viewing from the comfort of my own laptop!!!

    Didn't mean to tread on toes :whistle:
    Tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet...

    Are you saying you don't want an invite? :eek: :mad:

    I'll invite Mr_Pepperpot instead then. :p
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.
  • I think you should make it an open invite and see who turns up!

    :T

    :think: How open exactly? Do you mean locally or nationally? I might get more than I can cope with. :p

    Ok, time to resurrect my confectionary thread. My mum won't tell me what she wants for Christmas, so I'm thinking treacle toffee, and something with crystallised ginger (which I've bought).

    So, I need instructions for treacle toffee, and suggestions as to what to make with the ginger please?

    I haven't entirely discounted the possibility of having another go at Turkish Delight, either. It's been 4 years, so I'm nearly recovered from the first effort. :rotfl:

    Hi MBE,

    I can personally recommend robowen's recipe for treacle toffee in this thread where you'll find plenty of other recipes too:

    Treacle / Bonfire Toffee

    This thread might give you some ideas for the ginger:

    Crystallised Ginger- what to use it for?

    And this one has recipes for turkish delight:

    Good luck with your mum's gift.
