I made the Tom Yum and it was a huge hit! Of course I read the recipe, went and made it and forgot the lemon grass. Duh. I also added veggies, thinly sliced mushroom and orange bells, diced onion and celery, and baby corn. I had thrown out my ???yrs old fish sauce, so added tamari and it was so delicious. This recipe could go so many ways. Very happy you posted this recipe!

Thanks RT. You got me with cookies :rotfl:

*shift up on sofa guys* We must remember to admire Pippi's cleaning too

Well done to Mila's DS and to Pippi's DS too. Can I add that my DS (obviosuly considerably younger than everyone else's ) mastered his balance bike yesterday. He actually took his feet off the floor and balanced while going downhill Must be a good week for DS's

I hope the cookies were enjoyable and the mutts friendly

Who said maple.

Excuse the tardy tardy behaviour, I, is been working, collecting **A** stoodents from their last presentations and making giant pavlova's for 50th birthdays

:T clever chickens :T all home made except I didn't grow the sugar. Give me time. :rotfl:

And clever DS's with their balance bikes

Woo hoo's all round I say.

DS started work today and I'm in at work too.

Partying later so a free tea I guess in exchange for a decent pavlova.

I can't reveal all yet as its a surprise.

:A

Needless to say a 16 egg pavlova kept me up panicing all night! And it almost took over the oven.

wow, that's quite an achievement Pippi, well done to him too! :j :j End of an era, start of a new one hey?

Indeed me dear, you'll see him soon I think

Mila he's studied bio-engineering specialising in algae to 'grow' biodeisel for his thesis. And he's a few wee vials of his diesel too, his professor helped him to make the final product.

In our lands you do a thesis for your undergraduate degree in your 4th year. Next step would be masters or a phd (although I fear I have put him and my DH off Phd's for life). Cheery can vouch for that.

I am so glad you liked the soup. I think of it as a kind of launch pad for leftovers.

Beanie thank you too. I nearly collapsed at the shopping bill yesterday £75 :eek::eek::eek: Although there was whisky (present) 2 t shirts and some beers/af beers for the party and meringue ingredients.

I needed a wee lie down after.

Mmm, pavlova VERY excited at seeing DS soon, and the rest of you too of course Bought you a wee present today, and Mr Cheery is in charge of acquiring dog treats
