I've been there and bought Bara brith too :beer:I am going to a BBQ next week. I'm down to take a (cold) pudding. Someone else will be bringing a "healthy" pudding, and I'm to bring a "fattening" one. So far with this bunch of people I've done chocolate orange mousse, Eton mess, and chocolate cheesecake. Do the NP have any suggestions of something I could do this time?
It's gotta be home made ice cream! :A
Was on holiday last week...
Ate in both places (in the sea) and can't wait till next year :beer:0 -

The best ice cream I ever had was in Luxor. It was warm but the ice cream didn't melt and it was to die for :EasterBun

Has Heathrow reopened?
Absolute worst case scenario: You'll do a great job of entertaining on your own. Or would you like some NPs to pop over to help? (I can clean the dining room whilst you cook. Oh, and NDG will run up some curtains.)
I can't, you know, tomorrow. I have ginger cakes, victoria sponges, and bara briths to deliver to the school fete, together with some sloe gin and my Mama's marmalade. I'm taking Isaac, who wants to attend, because OH hates the very thought.lemonjelly wrote: »

How many pairs of feet do you have?...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

I never drink tea.
I did once ingest a mouthful by mistake.
Absolutely revolting.
Coffee all the way here, have a plumbed in espresso machine in our kitchen.
My drink of choice these days is 4 shots of espresso in a mug with a dash of 2% milk and a handful of stevia sweeteners.
3 month ago it would have been 6 shots with full fat milk and 6 teaspoons of sugar.
So it's at least healthy by comparison..... “The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
