Well my email recipe did send us a digest, so I guess we should write about anything to generate them. I have a recipe file set up for your ideas.

They have a short shelf life, but can be frozen for a short period.> I bought a packet of 8 crumpets from the supermarket last week packed in clear plastic airtight pack and the sell by date was 12/27/07 so they would be good until Christmas!! Except we had to eat them with our tea on Saturday didn't we. <g> Today I recorded Martha Stewarts tv program as she had a cpiece on making a chocolate molten cake and I wanted to see how similar it was to the one I sent yesterday. Well hers was made the traditional way by creaming sugar and butter, adding eggs gradually, etc in a huge electric mixer and also needed two other bowls for the eggs and chocolate. Being a lazy cook I think I like mine better, it used a hand wisk and one bowl and was made in a couple of minutes once the chocolate and butter was melted. Tonight we are having the other two left over puddings with ice cream. After that maybe I will think about dieting. Janice p.s. Jean I liked your email about the Berlin supermarket. My local one, part of a large chain, has just refurbished the store so it now looks quite spiffy but I still see elderly people struggling to reach the top shelf. Being a little younger and 5'4 1/2" but still a pensioner, I offer to help them out. I do have difficulty with the top shelf when the items are running out and no longer at the front of the shelf. One of the bag packers there always make a beeline to pack my bags as he recognises my British accent and wants to engage me in chatting about all things British. Last week he wanted to know if I ever eat curry as that is not as popular over here unless you live in an area where there are Indian immigrants. I was able to say that next Sunday my British group are off to India House restaurant, 25 miles away, for a buffet that will include curry. The sales assistant had never had curry, had no idea what it was and she is older than me!
