Food

My birthday is on the last day of February.
I am leaving a job on 7th March.
It's traditional to take cakes to work for both of these occasions.
I have a lot of cakes to bake!
But which to choose? . . . . .
I am definitely an English baker and not into too many Dutch Slagroom Taarts. Tim says they are
easy to make and rolls the recipe straight off his tongue!
Mary Berry does not do Slagroom Taarts.
I'm testing a Brownie recipe today.
It's more my thing really.
Toying with Carrot Cake; Chocolate Fudge Cake; Cupcakes which are essentially Fairy Cakes in disguise don't you agree?

Have invited my girlfriends to dine with me on 23rd February in 'pub style.'
Got to make a menu next, starters and finishers no bother but the middles?????
Not trusting minced beef right now, to be perfectly honest with you.
Horse = Black Beauty.
Rabbit = Thumper.
Duck = Jemima.
Lamb = Larry or Mary's Little one.
Venison = Bambi.
All perfectly good reasons why I am semi-vegetarian and why English people have problems with eating these meats!!
I've tried explaining the rationality to this view of mine but to no avail.
It all boils down to Chickens really.

So call me Faddy.
Call me Fussy.
Call me anything F that is polite and we will get along just FINE.

Enjoy the weekend.
