Random things

Today my shopping list was: melon, matches, milk, mars bars... and toilet paper. But I forgot the toilet paper and bought mushrooms instead so that's OK (actually, I forgot the matches too. Oops).

Tomorrow I planned to pack a lunch and take the dog to Clay lake, but Benedict has sports day and wants me to go and watch. I reckon I can do both.

This Cactus, lime & apple juice (Tymbark brand) is very good. We must get some more. Also, Mountain Dew (available on import at the Naz) is still lovely.

Making extra pasta sauce and saving some for microwaved potatoes the next day is also a winner.

The Forbidden Kingdom - good hair on the blonde.

Sound Mind, by Tricia Walker - I'm not sure about this book, and I'm two thirds of the way through. Maybe that's because it's a sequel, which I only just discovered. (Our local library seems to specialise in sequels or third parts of trilogies, but no first part. Annoying.)

Our school trip to Felixstowe was excellent as ever, the weather was really good (it was only when we got back to Cambridge that the rain started) and very relaxing. I'm really glad we go on the trip. (Basically, each class colonises a section of beach and stays there all day. If it's very windy/the teacher is very energetic, then they may move onto a nearby park (as in, ten seconds walk) for lunch. Apart from that, toilets and ice-creams (both readily available) are the only reason to leave the beach until home time)

My grandmama used to make a kind of cake called cut-and-come-again cake. In a book I had when I was a child, this cake grew back when the cake-tin was closed. But it is lovely anyway. You should make one. So should I. Nobody eats it here but me, though, so I have to eat it all myself.

If you make cinnamon rolls, what if Fin had a dream she was having tea with you?

That would be unfortunate, but I'm sure we could find her something else. There's a co-op just on the corner, if nothing else.

(I thought cut-and-come-again cake was to do with the shape, but google has lots of similar recipes. YOu learn something new every day. I might try Delia's)

Carrot cake :)

Normally I love carrot cake, but I'm not sure I'm in a carrot cake mood. I might change my mind if my veg-box gets delivered tomorrow (I think I cancelled, but I didn't get an acknowledgment email).

Banana bread (with or without nuts) or zucchini bread

[identity profile] ghoti.livejournal.com 2008-07-14 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I've never made or eaten zucchini bread, but it's come up a few times recently. I shall have to try it.

I have a recipe for courgette cake. If your interested.

Banana bread seconded (it's got fruit in, it must be good for you).

Mmmmmmmmmm, cinnamon rolls!!! With cream cheese icing??

[identity profile] ghoti.livejournal.com 2008-07-14 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! I use this recipe, which was described by my friend as 'the best cake on the internet'.

And now I'm hungry. :-( lol

Cake

Chocolate cake with butter icing in the middle and on the top. I should make some of that myself one of these days.

My dad used to work in Felixstowe. They laid him off just over a year away from his retirement. He lost his retirement fund completely :(.

I don't like chocolate cake. Yes, I know that's weird.

Also, that sucks :(

Wow - well thats unusual :).

I'll go with a second choice of lemon pound cake with icing on top.

Either: scones with strawberries, and any or all of cream, clotted cream, butter (this is pronounced 'cream tea', but the devonshire accent is optional), or a victoria sandwich, with strawberries and cream in the middle and icing sugar on the top, or a ginourmous sponge flan case filled with lots of summery fruit, especially strawberries.

Tasty German cake
