Lists for the Slatternly - May edition

Okay, I am clearly worrying way too much about this but there are only a few spaces left in the old thread!

(What do I think will happen if we finish without a new list? We'll just make a new one. Relax woman!)

Tibni- polish what's that???!

Drinking chocolate is generally cocoa+sugar. So they might come out sweeter and less chocolatey. If you couldn't fnid Phil light you would need to look for own-brand similar stuff ('soft cheese'). I think just say Philadelphia cos everyone knows precisely what that is, whereas if they said 'soft cheese' it might be too ambiguous.

Don't believe that you have stuff in the oven already btw. I have managed to wash my hair and put on fake-tan-misturiser stuff adn that's about it. Oh, and water the chillis. Some of the plants are making fruit now, it's very exciting!

TA - they are cooked!! honest, have just had some, yum! (with my mid-morning tea) DS actually asked for a biscuit instead though but he did have a fair amount of mixture, lol.

well, my oven is a bit over-powered i think, they were in for 35mins, and the edges did burn. so will have to print out the recipe and write 30mins on it.

delicious though, so thanks Plum!! and only a week late with 'assignment'
