Well the next best thing is getting Dan interested in cooking then Rose, and you would have to make the effort to eat or he would be upset. Why not try persuading him lol

Scones are summer foods, why not some nice fruit cake with cinnamon and such in, sort of early festive food and quite easy to make.

oh no SRS, you really know how to hit where it hurts ;)

but I might give it a go over the weekend.....if they are rock solid I'll feed the birds ;) look out for low flying starlings next week, having trouble getting off the ground !

your next assignment is scones RR ;)

Oh I never buy ready made...they are not very nice to me anyway,

just throw eggs ,plain flour and milk,no measures and beat it ,chuck in the oven,,,and then have to wonder how I'm ever going to get it out the oven,,}}}}

semi skimed milk dont give good results,,,,it dont rise up enough...

well donr Rose,,,,,

I cant make a sponge or fruit cake to save me life though,,OHs float out the oven,---------mind I dont eat cake,,,,}}}}}}!!!!

LOL Cat, that about sums it up :))

Liz, it won't tempt me to cook more, I don't really enjoy it, had to get used to gas, and now have to get used to electric again lol. I'm a 'picker' at food sadly, chocolate crisps, biccies :(

Well done Rose, hope you can repeat the experiment lol

A new cooker eh? Watch you don't get too carried away with tasty cooking and start to balloon, it's so easy in cold weather to want to eat more and fattening things too lol

Have fun

So for once you did as you were told and it worked lol ;-)

lol SRS, it was a fluke ;) but I did have the oil hot, which you're supposed to and I did measure the amount of milk and flour in the batter accurately which I haven't really done in the past.

Never mind boasting, how did you do it? Lol ;)

Teresa, We looked at the ones you mentioned when we were out shopping earlier , but son said could I make instead ...new cooker so I thought I'd see how it goes... it was cripy on the top and soft inside :)) ( much to my surprise lol ) .

Well done RR., we have just had dinner with yorkies supplied by a certain Aunt from the freezer!

I have never master the art and have given up on trying to make them.

My Mother in law does a mean yorkie, all crispy outside and fluffy inside.

I've just managed to cook a decent Yorkshire pudding :))
