Those are always the best recipes The accidents.

Thanks I really like his, too, though

I don't like too much nutmeg as it's very overpowering. I might go with mace though.

The crumble will be out of flour and rolled oats it's gorgeous.

As for the orange/lemon thing. Apparently we've baked two biscuits. Big ones. So it's going to be saved for trifle

Or just stick them together with lots of citrusy whipped cream

No. We wanted chequered cake and it is that or nothing.

Why oh why did I sell my Good Housekeeping cookery book?

What keeps you from getting another one?

I'm broke and... actually, what _is_ stopping me?

Having just looked online, I have no idea which one I had. I'll just steal my mums next time I'm over...

A good plan. And then she can buy another one

Or steal it back... or scan the recipe for me and email it over...

How boring

I have the German equivalent to that cookbook - my mother gave me and my sister one each when we moved out, so we wouldn't keep calling her and asking her to scan recipes, or steal hers

We have a vast collection of recipe books and cookery books. One of which i keep by me so i can letch the on the front cover.

We have another one called The Cookery Year. The type of thing brides were given in the 1950s when they got married - it is fantastic. But really, I have never had a desire to correctly dress a pheasant. But if I did - I have diagrams.

I should have adapted their Victoria Sponge recipe - but (mine, not the one from the book mentioned up there) found me this other one. Which he now conceedes is: shite.

We found an old cookery book in the house when my family moved into the new place... Amazing how often brains are on their suggested weekly menus

But it offers very sound advice, like if you have young children, you should be willing to pay the higher price for milk from tuberculosis-free cows.

I think the one we have assumes that your daily maid and milkman will arrange organic milk - probably from cows hand milked by virgins wearing velvet gloves...

Wouldn't that tickle the poor cows?
