I shall try later squeaky, she says dabbing some sugar delicately from the edge of her lips. I only have the recipe in the morphy richards cup measures so maybe tommorrow I shall convert it and post it.

I have a Morphy Richards breadmaker so the MR cup measurements would be good for me please:beer:

Cheers

productive day so far.....made sausagemeat pie in new cooker....blimin lovely but think pastry is a bit rubbish...has anyone got a good shortcrust pastry recipe? (for pastry bimbo's like moi?)

bought a bit of 2x2, some nails, peice of mdf and knocked meself up a couple of shelves for inside my "oldstyle/newstyle larder cupboard" that i revamped the other day.....mighty proud of myself actually.....would have had to pay a chippie mighty bucks for the job...it might not be perfect but it was very cheap about £9!!!!!!

had a look around next door neighbours garden by invite and she grows a lot of fruit and veg herself....gave me plenty of tips and advice and the promise of a few "freebie" tomato plants...yippeeeee

Crikey! I haven't ben on here in ages. My new job is a bit more demanding than the last one.
Not been very OS of late, but made a real effort on Sunday to plan this week's meals & avoid the need for all those unnecessary trips to the supermarket.
OH is working late tonight & tomorrow, so I've made myself enough dinner for both nights, as well as whipping up a batch of chocolate buns (recipe on the recipe board thread - easiest chocolate cake you'll ever make). While the buns were in the oven I gave the hob a once over with my vinegar spray bottle.
I was planning to take up the hems on some new trousers tonight, but they're too big & will have to go back (label on hanger said 14, are actually 16 & I can take them off without even undoing them). So instead I'm going to read my new magazine that came through the door yesterday (Yes - 3 for a £1!)
