Continuation of Thread 2.

There is so much excellent information and so many active discussions on FWR that I wondered if it would be useful to have a thread to sort of "cross-fertilise" between them - airing little thoughts or vignettes that wouldn't themselves merit their own thread, to highlight other posts/threads of particular interest or to point to notable developments on fast-moving threads so that casual observers know where to look.

(For example, "the X thread has meandered onto a fascinating discussion of Y" or "Poster P's amazing analysis on thread Z might have relevance to the scenario in thread W" or "Has anybody noticed this recurring theme that keeps coming up??" or even "Random bloke asked me to smile while I was choosing onions, grr"- that sort of thing).

I suppose after all this talk of food I should actually emerge from under my duvet and go forage in the kitchen for tea

Some of this cake had better be dairy free. I need to celebrate the conversation I had with my manager today in which we carefully established we are both GC.

Sweet scones are undoubtedly good, but so are cheese scones. Warm, with butter.

I'm eating a tiny Picnic bar. All this muffin talk is doing nothing for my diet. Ahem.

When did Picnic bars become so small? Its definitely not far away (from my mouth)

I made cheese and apple muffins which were lovely and garlic muffins, because quick. But they're not as good as garlic bread.

ErrolTheDragon · 25/01/2023 16:23

Muffins should be sweet, their texture isn't really right for savory. But I'd usually prefer a cheese scone.

Muffins! I have a massive enamelled cast-iron lidded pan (Lidi Le Creuset rip-off), which weighs a ton, and I literally only ever get out to make Muffins. Maybe at the weekend... 😀

Do it. Then send me one.

I'm down to the absolute dregs of Christmas sweet things

I'm rubbish at making scones. Peanut butter and raspberry jam muffins? Or bog standard choc chip?

Well of course when I make scones I make my own butter and buttermilk first.

That may be why I haven't made scones since 2007.

Choc chip please thank you very muchly

Those muffins are nothing now but a pleasant memory and another reason to not look in the mirror.

I might bake some more at the weekend. Sweet or savoury?

Sweet please. Although I much prefer scones. Also sweet.

Darn it I'm now munching on fruit and nut!

Hate to be a pedant but that bar looks like a bog standard dairy milk bar. No fruit and no nut! Fruit and nut is better. Obviously.

She's got it in her pocket, she's good at peeling tangerines without anyone noticing as well!
