Crepes of Froth

Bum! Just join a thread and lock it down! So I'll start the next one.

Oops. cancel that first remark. Twice.

And didn't know about Husky Hawley next week! Shall investigate possibilities...

Potato salad recipe sounds lush!

OK - where do you fancy for a drink? (I should just warn you that DH is a real pint in an old man's pub type drinker most of the time, but I'm sure I can drag him into somewhere more upmarket) And Herbs, get investigating!

Will have a think BTM...
Oh do come Herbs if you can.

I was 20. Possibly 21 My hair, you will not be surprised to know, I cut myself. I am in fact wearing no makeup apart from masses of black kohl - it was the pallor of someone who didn't get out much.

Herbs whoever said roast a couple of chooks : good idea
Do that and transform into coronation chicken or alternatively do a whole load of chicken legs roasted off in a nice glaze.
I usually do salads thus:
1 green
1, mayonnaise based( QQ lovely recipe natch)
1 tomato ( maybe sliced with pesto dressing and moz)
1 grain ( lentil or rice or couscous)
Crusty bread or garlic bread for soakage
A veg quiche for veggy types or the old piedmont peppers recipe.

IT IS SO HOT! I was so glad to get home and take my clothes off . How do you look smart and professional at work and still cool. Linen never quite works for me.
I bought me No7 facial brush (poor-girl's Clarisonic) yesterday and tried it in the shower this morning. Seems quite nice and maybe it was the shortening eyesight, but the blackheads did look a little better. Saw they had a glycolic peel set. Has anyone tried it?

Mi I had to rush in and log on to desktop machine just to see that pic. wowsers! lThat is a scream.
Gonna dig one out at similar age if I can work out how to do the upload thingy

Portait with Watermelons

Actually, MI, I had a not dissimilar haircut - done by my best mate - in my first year at uni

I am not uploading any embarrassing photo's of me - I would be instantly recognisable!

Am loving the salad suggestions - we have friends from down-under staying over for a couple of nights next week....

There is a good salad thread running here www.mumsnet.com/Talk/food_and_recipes/1795606-fab-salad-recipe-needed-for-BBQ

We have the party tomorrow with the 'people I've invited but I don't really know' couple... Like a blind date

And what will you be feeding your new friends Beachy?!

Luffly melons, Crem

Snurk
I think it's Kefalonia and if it is then its around my 18th birthday( spent drinking ouzo on a beach under shooting stars)
Poignant only because dd is 18 on Tuesday

Wot you singing MI?

MI could I trouble you again for the choc rasp cake recipe or link thereto?
I'd really appreciate it

Have been goaded into coffee and cake pre-party Party for relatives on dds birthday. This, before teenagers arrive for Actual Party at 4pm

Wow, just Wow at that pic MI.

I shall mostly be here this weekend (and performing on that stage in the background)

cake recipe! I shall be making it again for our visitors next week. Topping was 100g chocolate, 25g butter and a spoonful of syrup melted together, IIRC!

Is that you BD? Looks more recent than 80's?

Hopefully a quiet weekend here - fingers crossed that DS is as quiet as he was last night! DD has her two oldest BFF's sleeping over tonight - love seeing them all together

BTM - no that was taken last night - that's the field I will be in today... The short haired lady is at least 10 years younger than me and less grey :)

Btm thankyou so much. Looks tremendous .

So annoying you can't see photos on mobile. Grrr

Nope, honestly you don't. You could bung some onto the top, of course, but that particular recipe is a Storecupboard Cake (a term which always annoys me because what's in your storecupboard is probably quite different from what's in mine...)

Ruby, it's quite a dense, luscious cake.... Raspberries on the top would look lovely though

BD, have fun!

Might have to get my shorts on and get into the garden.
