Note - tattie pancakes seemed a bit 'pancakey' to me as tattie scones are made purely with flour/tattie she made a batter with eggs/milk/instant mash - I think there was flour in there too I'd have to rewatch it was all a bit bizarre.

I think I saw that episode around Christmas - did they look a little like blinis? Wasn't she making them for a party and she made some and then was cranking them out at the 'do' - didn't they get topped with something like dill & crème fraiche and then a sliver of smoked salmon? If it's the episode I'm thinking of, it was definitely more 'pancakey' than tattie scones, and yes, it was powdered mash that she used. I assume that the recipe would be in her 'Kitchen' book - I think most of the recipes were from that series.

Hurrah for DD's safe return.

Greying have you ever thought of performing on Mastermind

That was exactly it!

Genius me lady, genius.

She's taller - DD. Not seen her for 3 weeks. Nice that's shes back although she's 'xhausted with all that travelling palava.

Just finishing work for evening in a mo - finishing prep as out 'on the bins' tomorrow - the glamour of my life knows no bounds.

Fire's on though.

I am indeed applying for both :A

I've had more than a few toes up my proverbial which I appreciate.

(One or two also from my current bosses..............!!:eek: which I'm hoping is support rather than 'the plank'.......:D)

I'm sure I've no chance but I'm keen and hard working so who knows.

:A thanks for asking

For anyone interested in the potato pancake recipe of Nigella's, the recipe is HERE . I would of preferred to link to the FN version, but the picture is much better on the Australian site, plus the measurements are more suited to UK use.

Dearest Pippi your faith in my knowledge is ill-founded - this recipe is apparently from Nigella Express, not 'Kitchen' as I had supposed ..............:rotfl:

Best of luck on the jobs front.

If you get one does that mean an earlier de-bunk?

Glad you've applied for the jobs! They should snap you up ...

I can confirm the presence of toes up the proverbial - 5 of them were "virtually" mine and while not the largest (they're handily "Wedding Welly" sized dontcha know ) they were at the time walking-boot clad. Heavy things, walking boots.

*waves at DD* - not surprised she's shattered - glad to hear you have a fairly clear weekend too. :T
