Oooh I had somehow managed to forget it is pancake day tomorrow. Thanks kidcat! DH would be very disappointed if I forgot to make some. I like them, but don't really enjoy making them for some reason.:o

It's the monotony of it all - at least for me anyway, I love pancakes but cooking fifty just puts me off, may well try getting kids to have a go, although last time that was a disaster which caused world war 3 almost.

I never remember pancake day. We like pancakes but they're so impractical - you're tied to the pan and it takes forever!

But I shall do my best to make some tomorrow - especially as I have 24 jif lemons courtesy of AF to use up :rotfl:

I have the Make do and Mend one, I got it from a charity shop. I didn't realise there was an eatables one. Is it full of carrot mock-christmas puddings and woolton pies and things? I love social history

No, it's got great recipes, using food that I recognise and dont have to look up - nothing wild or exotic like aubergines or courgettes
It came same day as a HUGE tome on Low Fat Cooking, which is useless. Each recipe has about 19 ingreds and loads of things I never heard off
How to cook using only one pot, without sugar, without fat or without eggs. I love it -and coming from me thats good as I hate cooking and anything to do with it!

Which one did you get? I find there's a lot I can't get hold of as well, usually it's fat free _______ where we don't have fat free versions in this country or additives that aren't really available over here :mad: Even worse is when you get given sheets from the dietician that they know full well half the stuff can't be got in this country.
