If you have the Crust of the Bread you must have it covered in Beef Dripping with a little salt and pepper. ;-).And Stray. give kitty my regards, :-D.**M**

Am I too late for the crust off the bread? I love warm bread with butter, but I know it would ruin my diet lol :-)
Sorry lol, I imagined there was some lovely bread cooking! but if its cakes I don't want any thanks :-)

Hope you enjoyed it Emma X

Cup cakes.Lyons Cup Cakes. They were dreadful things, sweeter than you would think possible and we thought they were wonderful.

I remember the excitement when a box of orange and lemon ones came home.

Because I can't but an Eccles cake to my exacting standards hem hem, we make them with bought puff pastry and currants.That's all,they don't need all those other things in them that manufacturers think they do.

shes ok merlin, were friends elsewere, ;-) shes still a rubbish cok, but we luv her bless :-D

Yes thats right Stray, "Kitty The Rubbish Cook." I think she used to give lessons.pmsl.wonder how she is?.Re the Fillet Steak. Get a large centre piece,put some Garlic in the ends and sides,Seal, wrap in foil and bake for about half an hour in a hot oven .then open, let it rest then slice and enjoy.( With a few generous glugs of wine,) ;-) :-D

Yeh experience and age definately go together.
Comforting thought. Now about that steak!!

oh yes Merlin, our kitty :-D her rocks cakes were, well rock'ard :-)

I,ve been at it a long time Emma, renovated or repaired 5 Houses,it just comes with time and experience.I do a very mean Fillet Steak. ;-)

Merlin your toooo kind. My OH was brought up
by his granma but God bless her she was illiterate
and cooking to her was a pan of chips. My OH says
if he was on his own he could look after himself, well
thats what I had in mind when I got him into it.
Good for you Merlin I'm impressed. lolx :-)

Hiya Merlin, how's your cooking skills!! :-D

Emma x

Rock cakes with original Rocks,cupcakes with cups.We had a Special cook on here some time ago,burnt most things. :-D ;-)

Hi Sharron n Stray,

Home baking is lovely as you say Stray, not like cake!!!!!!

Sharron I know what you mean they all have their little ways
of doing things and suppose chefs are more fussy.

Emma x

oh home baked is the best,

altho me n littleman arnt keen on cake, so we bake em for the old folk :-D

My OH is a chef by trade so is good at presentation.

If I make rock cakes or something that needs portioning out to be baked I always have a few family sized ones and some barely visible ones and a dollop left over.

He has lines of perfectly uniform portions and none left over and I want to kill him!

Morning Teresa I agree I think men are great at
cooking and baking, like your dad my OH took
over when I was no longer able. God bless em. :-)

Emma x

My Dad learned to cook Emma when my Mums arthritis got bad. He did a great fry up and a pretty god fruit cake as well.

My FIL makes his own bread,.
I think a lot of men enjoy cooking, for necessity or plaesure :-)

Teresa x

Joking apart Teresa he's good at baking and cooking.
He got interested when I was doing all that stuff and
it is just as well cause you don't know whats ahead
of you.
