The latest "ooooh" word ....

Queenie

... picking up the kids from footie club after school, I could hear the women a couple of feet away, chatting. (I wasn't eavesdropping, I was obviously just down wind, or they were not whispering!)

Well, I had a little chuckle to myself when I heard the following:-

"... and as a treat, I gave them - LASAGNA! Homemade!!!" *insert big beaming smile of pride*

"Homemade? Wow, you really *are* clever, is it difficult? I always get mine from Asda."

That got me thinking, it must be a sign of the age we live in because I don't think I ever heard my mother, or our female neighbours, when they were discussing food needing to add - homemade - it went without saying, back then!

So, do remember people, if you wish to impress ... use the latest Buzzword = Home Made. You're going shoot up in others estimation

We've just had a roast dinner with HOME-MADE yorkshire puds and gravy WITHOUT granules! The cauliflower cheese was made with cauliflower and..... REAL cheese :eek:

Hardly anyone makes their own yorkies any more...Aunt Bessies are grim!



Must admit though, I've never made a lasagne

ROFLMAO - Hey, Puffa Fish, well done to YOU!! Between those and your HM Laundry Powder, you would most definately be the talk of the playground Mamma's

Jay-Jay - if you and halloweenqueen ever come near our school playground, do please stand opposite ends - you both put those women today to shame
Well done to you too - I just love cauli cheese, *drooling*

Greyhound_Man: The *real* secret is ... you have to have Yorkshire blood in your veins

This is a recipe that i cut out from the paper ages ago and it works for me - make batter with 4oz plain flour, one egg, 1/2 pint full-fat milk, 2tbsp water and a few drops of sunflower oil. I put a generous amount of oil in the cake tray and let it heat in the oven. It's funny 'cos i use the same recipe at my mum's and her tray's fancier than mine and yet they always stick....
