    Surely a happy sign, a pudding that oozes? Its the way I think they look best. A neat pudding is a pudding that knows its boundaries and minds its ps and q's, a pudding of insufferable smug self satisfaction.

    Give me an oozing pudding of abandonment anyday. One that knows its cup (or Pyrex dish) overfloweth with berry goodness, and the rish joy of last summer leaps into life before its even on your tongue. No neat I stained tops for me, dry in their unimaginative 'surprise' underneath, no, I want a berry with the gumption to get up and jam itself for my delectation,a pudding wants to roll its being in cream sensually and delight in the warm Coool, tart rich juncture and tease me with the promise of what's waiting in a few months.



    Sounds like you've done rather well.

    After your poetic descriptions, I really want some pie now (with pixies for me please) :)

    Me too. Did you really have to write such sumptuous, drool-inducing prose when I'm on a 500 calorie day?! :D

    Not that either. I think I've given up cooking for a while. Might or might not cook weekends, haven't decided yet. Getting a head start on lent, innit. Cooking and baking might be one of my 'things' this year. ( an observant non Christian :rotfl:) thinking about it anyway.

    You cannot BUY a pixie. No , no , no. You can catch a pixie, like spirit has, and bake it in a pie ( usually when you don't want it) or you can gift one or receive it as a gift.

    Our daughter was called Pixie by the friend who died last year, and by her husband.

    Could you not replace the whole cable for about a quid off ebay?

    No. The other end is hard wired into the alarm.

    I got rid of Mr £70 man by saying I needed to check with the alarm company first.

    Can anyone see the Northern Lights tonight? Some are saying that they are best for 20 years. Can apparently be seen as far south as Gloucestershire and Essex, but can't see them here and lots of light pollution.
