    Having an event?

    Apply for your free sample of MARS REFUEL


    Are you hosting a celebration or a special event (like a charity run or a big birthday bash) that might benefit from some bottles of delicious MARS REFUEL®?
    Then please do let us know, as we have a limited supply of drinks to support events and activities being held across the UK and Ireland.
    While we recommend that MARS REFUEL® is best drunk chilled, the good news is that it doesn’t have to be stored in a fridge, making it easy to hand out.
    To apply, simply complete the application form below letting us know a little bit about your event and how bottles of MARS REFUEL® can help?
    Please tick to confirm that you have read the T&Cs

    Hi gill. Good luck, hopefully it will be in coupons rather than a lorry load of the stuff delivered to your house;)
    Be thankful for what you have because it could all be taken away tomorrow.;)

    Me & FFF, I guess don't know why but its nice to be thank:rotfl:


    I have just finished making "Krispy kreme" chocolate donuts. Its not set yet but it taste yummy. Will post photo later.


    I got the recipe from here :

    http://www.donutrecipes.co.uk/simple.html (I swapped plain flour for self raising flour + add the baking powder as instructed this is to make the dough spongier after it cooked).

    Then I make the coating using :

    Glaze
    1/2 cup (113g) butter
    3 cups (375g) icing sugar
    2 1/4 teaspoons vanilla (optiona I din't have any so I didnt put it)
    6 -9 tablespoons (90-135ml) milk or water or add the liquid until you get the consistancy of the glaze.

    I also melted 1 bar of cooking chocs
    http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/#/asda-compare-prices/home_baking/asda_chosen_by_you_home_baking_milk_cooking_chocolate_150g.html

    & mixed it into my glaze.

    Any left overs of the glaze I pour some rice krispies & mixed it & decorated it onto the small cup cake case.

    No wastages whatsoever.:cool:

    btw, I was reading the "krispy Kreme recipe" from below link but they look too complicated for me so I just nicked her glaze instead.

    Never made doughnuts tbh, but they sound yummy

    :rotfl::rotfl: FF, my cake deco is very limited - I am lousy in decorating & it does not look anywhere near what you posted.

    But it does taste very nice. The choc still not set properly yet:o

    Thats because the ones in BP's pic are made by a machine. Yours are made by hand with tender loving care, :rotfl:and I bet taste gorgeous

    Honestly, I know we're lucky to have 'free' healthcare in this country (that is unless you actually need drugs / cream / spreay etc to treat what you have, then you need to pay) but it seems you either have to make and emergency 'I need to see a doc right now' appt, or wait 3 weeks. Was reading a book about the 1950's and there was a bit saying how you used to just go to a surgery, queue up and see the doc, AND there were house visits without question. :eek:



    Hiya, I can remember in the 70's having a GP where you just went to the surgery during open hours and sat and queued, you always saw the doctor, just might have to queue for an hour.
