Have you tried making bread and butter pickles? They're a bit sweeter than a normal pickle and very yummy.

No ripe tomatoes here yet. They still look more like little peas at the moment. We have had two cucumbers though - we grow the mini ones and just have one plant, which we find plenty for the two of us. Strawberries all but finished now, bar a couple of stragglers.

Bread and butter pickles?

Shall I google it?:)

So I've been given free reign to make a cake for a 12 year old this Friday/Saturday, only specification 'boys birthday theme'. My question to you lovely lot is, what the hell do 12 year olds like nowadays?

Do you think they delegated the decision as it is too difficult for them to make!

Dependent on the child, it could be anything from a teddy bear, to lego or a fast car.

What does he like?

evening all, hope everyone is well,
got a home delivery as needed a few bits phoned the store checked prices of reeds before hand, shopping arrived and charged full price.. the driver tells me they come from a different store from today, one on anglesey:(

of to liverpool again tomorrow, to the hospital with ds3, 45 mins car then over 2 hours on the train then a bus to hospital. an hour at the hospital couple of hours to wander around shops and a bite to eat then the return 3 hour journey, ds3 said at least you dont have to cook we can get macdonalds for tea..

Out of the places I've been visiting on the train recently Liverpool is the place that suits me best. Frequent trains, John Lewis nearby, plenty of shops etc.

I wasn't being polite btw. I was just being forced to follow enforced standards of what, for no apparent reason, is generally seen (I assume) as being politeness (whatever that might mean as different sectors of the population themselves, according to public "opinion" poll research, appear to have different opinions on what constitutes being "polite" and, being objective and impartial, I can neither accept nor reject any of those views).

What movie is actually based on your life?

http://www.playbuzz.com/gregs/which-movie-is-based-on-your-life

You got: The Hangover

"The Hangover" trilogy is based on your life! You are a warm, beautiful, people-loving person. You love your family and friends, have a wild side, and no matter what, you will always do the right thing at the end. Sure, you are not quite a grown up yet (at least you don't act like one), but don't worry, you'll get there! :cool:

I got The movie "Brave" is based on your life! You are young, smart, free spirited, and extremely inspired by the world around you. You've found your passion in life, and you will do anything to pursue it, no matter what others say or do. You are a true source of will power!

I deliberatly encourage mine to spread, have it everywhere, all along the fences, paths and chicken pens lots of different types, i think its nice and love the smell, also helps keep the weeds down, same with fennel and chives keep dividing it down and spreading it around.

My mint just went straggly so spent ages digging it out. Love my chives spreading though, use a lot for things like potato salad.

The main thing I am having trouble keeping in check at the moment is my raspberries. They keep appearing in the lawn, I think they have ambitions :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

When my son was about that age I made him a football, Iced in black and white fondant, and it was in a fantastic caramel goal (think it is caramel, melted sugar set in that shape). Went down very well

Another very successful cake I made, although this was for when he was a lot younger and had a McDonalds party, was a burger cake. It was very effective and the girls at McDs appeared to be impressed, the kids certainly were
