To think having children is not a right!

If you can't afford children thats just tough! IMO. We should abolish child benefit to be spent on real rights such as having something to eat and decent levels of sanitation. I would rather my hard earned tax went there than child benefit!!

We're having steak sandwich (baguettes) with blue cheese and mushrooms, and spinach salad. Followed by DD2's chocolate triple layer cake for dessert.

And a Biscuit for the OP.

Are they all they're cracked up to be, pineapple?

I had that ice cream with the soft core once and it was horrible.

This thread has turned out way better than I had hoped at the outset.

Same although very hungry now

Has anyone ever had a clefutis? It's a kind of pancakey pudding. My mum ordered it in a posh restaurant and I got a fit of the giggles because it sounded (vaguely) like 'clitoris'.
I have such a sophisticated sense of humour.

Never had that but I would giggle like you that's funny

Idontseeanysontarans · 08/02/2015 17:12

My hard earned taxes don't go towards baked figs!
Oh, ok pineapple, chocolate cake is the answer, I'm just miffed we don't have any..Smile

Is pineapple shortbread a real recipe?

pineappleshortbread · 08/02/2015 17:13

Same but I have flour and Cadburys so I could make some I'm just too lazy thanks to too much cake :)

Ahhhh iPhone again! However pudding on a desert Island would be nice! Wouldn't be very fresh though ...notice how I wrote pudding just Incase I got it wrong Blush

Also wouldn't a dessert on a desert island ( think I've got it) have to be coconut based? I can't stand coconut! Bountys are just terrible!

cremeeggcook · 08/02/2015 17:13

Funny that

No its not arsenic and I don't even like pineapple ha I just thought it sounded good

HowCanIMissYouIfYouWontGoAway · 08/02/2015 17:13

me too.

Not that I am much looking forward to dinner.

I, ever hopeful Grin will be attempting lemon chicken with cashew nuts, with noodles but also using up the three packets of mushrooms slowly becoming sentient in the back of the fridge.

Dinner will be interesting, to say the least.

ShipwreckedAndComatose · 08/02/2015 17:13

It looks delicious and has a funny name! Pudding perfection, like spotted dick..
