Did you all confess your sins?

Had none to confess sue, pure as driven snow is cashy.:D

Yup, I was a bit keen with the batter mix last night so had a couple for my breakfast. My wife was less than enamoured by the fifth one....think I may have miscalculated a bit there.

Re: Shrove Tuesday

I've just been into the local tearooms for a brew and nobody, not one person, had made pancakes from scratch. Everyone seems to be either getting pre-packed ones or these 'shake-n-bake' bottle efforts.

I was aghast.

Re: Shrove Tuesday

People just can't be bothered to bake anymore, so flour is not in their food cupboard.

I have seven types of flour in my store, and a 60cm wall cupboard just containing baking ingredients only. Flour doesn't go off if it is stored right.

Re: Shrove Tuesday

In that respect I am hopelessly out of touch. It's one of the kitchen essentials in my opinion and I couldn't make half of the recipes I use on a regular basis without flour. I suppose cornflour is out of fashion too?

Mind you, I just have the three types - SR, plain and strong white for bread.
