Suninfrance Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 Thank you JayJay.My OH has re-discovered pineapple upside down cake which requires self raising and I only had one bag left which I seem to be going through at a rate of knots. Not only the pineapple upside down cake but choc chip and coconut cookies as well.No wonder I'm not doing so well on the Diet thread [:-))] [Www] [:$] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJay Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Mmmm yummy, haven't had that for years. What a good idea, I bet we haven't got the pineapple though.[:(] So what is this word, diet?[;-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayJay Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Oh, it's a swear word then![Www] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suninfrance Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 Definately a swear word. I swear every week when I haven't lost an ounce. [B] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJay Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Scales, that's another swear word!!!!![;-)] BTW, didn't have any pineapple but found some treacle![:-))] So I'll be swearing tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suninfrance Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 Apples is good too, in fact I think most fruits except bananas. Or if you haven't any fruit just the treacle is good too.Serve hot with vanilla ice cream.My keyboard is going to fuse in a moment if I keep dribbling.[:)]Another question :What meat is equivalent to stewing steak? I've heard bourgignon? meat can take ages to cook and is a bit on the tough side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJay Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I think maybe I'll make a little treacle pud. Ssh, don't tell anyone![;-)] Steady with your keyboard, don't want you coming to any harm!Bourguignon is good & also for braising & stewing, we use bœuf à braiser, basses-côtes & also paleron. Jarret is tasty too, if you don't mind the gelatinous texture. It all really needs long slow cooking though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
