I'm quite happy with a jar of Branstons

Morning all.

Talking of Toast Toppers, he took 2 tins of that as well. Yes, really.

My pantry is now full of Heinz cheese ravioli and Tesco sausage and beans.

Stay away from the hot tubs, skye!

With the BH you must at least have til the end of the week to expect a response to your solicitor's letter though. Hopefully you get a chance to have a few days peaceful reflection on everything and a bit of a break from it.

Agree on the hot tubs - rather odd, methinks! You did really well giving it a try anyway so don't be hard on yourself

Tomato purée and cheese in crumpets sounds intriguing... Were they the crumpets with holes in the top or the savoury English muffin type things?

Tomato puree and melted cheese on crumpets....

Sorry about the itchy teeth comment - think I posted without reading it all properly

CockBollocks it's a T25 Wedge - I'm currently lying in it BFing DS to sleep

I actually like pickle and melted cheese on crumpets. I am low carbing at the mo, so avoiding such things.

YOu shouldn't go in hot tubs when pregnant anyway so just as well. Why on earth would anyone want two hot tubs?! His and Hers? Odd people.

Epees, you could always make crumpets. You will NEVER want shop bought ones again I promise you.

I disagree with the tomato purée though I'm afraid - it MUST be butter, marmite and cheese. In that order.

Crumpets with holes. Toast crumpets in toaster. Spread thickly with tomato puree. Add thickly sliced mature cheddar, bung under grill.
Never done it before, just had an urge. It worked.
And thanks for the curry recipe!
And yes, here's to at least a restful few days,........

Wash your mouth out Porto. Pickle? On crumpets. Not good.

Sounds like a very nice Sunday, Lou - with a funny story attached!
You seem on very good form, and YAY for cooking :) Hope you get another good day tomorrow.

Doesn't anybody else call them pikelets? I get all by different kinds of crumpets & muffins.

Butter on crumpets and not else. I'm a purist dontcha know.

My parents call them pike lets

Isn't a pikelet an English muffin? And a crumpet is the holey one...that you have to have slathered in lashings of melty butter [wanders off to inspect the bread bin] [wanders back dejectedly]

A pikelet is distinctly different - much thinner, whereas a crumpet is made in a crumpet ring and is about 1.5 - 2cms

Cheese with raspberry jam and melted cheese is divine!
It doesn't sound like it, but trust me- give it a go!

Oh and THIS is very important, so listen carefully...

If you have crumpets with just butter, then you must butter them straight away whilst they are still hot, that way the butter melts all the way through to the middle before dribbling down your chin

Happy that sounds divine. He took the cranberry sauce obviously, but not the raspberry jam,....

You lot keep me going, you know!

Happy sunflower That was cruel. I now want crumpets with butter. I have neither.

Pickled onions are allowed to go on crumpets, with cheese and butter.
Golden syrup is also allowed, but only with butter.
I love crumpets .

Hello Lou,
I'm so pleased that you enjoyed your day, well done.

Good call on the hot tub, I think foot fungus may have been the least of your problems. Chlamydia would have been a real possibility, and devastating in your condition and with your TTC history.

As for crumpets and pikelets, they are not remotely similar. But I am a huge fan of cheese and jam, black cherry jam with Laughing Cow, raspberry jam with Philly, apricot jam with cottage cheese, I could go on......

Lou - cottage cheese and raspberry jam is also rather good on crumpets (or muffins - that's the 'English' muffins not the cake variety)

Frank I have done home-made crumpets, but I don't even have the ingredients...

And I'm one of those that hates Marmite, I'm afraid. Please don't hate me.

FWIW I think the jam/melted cheese combo works better inside a pitta bread than with a crumpet, but that's just me.
