Ooh ta, that looks really good.

MaryAnnSingleton · 22/09/2011 23:02

it is v good- makes two BIG loaves- the crust should be deep brown and shiny- I put lots of poppy seeds on.

jetmonkey · 23/09/2011 20:10

wow MAS! thanks for the link! have been reading Mary Anne's blog and now she MUST win (she and I have things in common Wink)

"She's 45"

No way! I'm 52 and she looks loads older than me. I love her baking though. She is so experimental and isn't afraid to try something new. I love Janet as well.

peachsmuggler · 23/09/2011 21:39

I think it's cos she has quite an older, "oh stuff and nonsense", bumptious country way about her.

PATISSERIE DAY *I will be longing for danish pastries and croissants...
one of my friends announced yesterday that Mary Berry is her dad's cousin Shock Grin !!

peachsmuggler · 27/09/2011 10:51

maryannesingleton, you are practically GBBO royalty!!!!

I am mad for pastries and suchlike so will be very interested to see tonight's episode. I think Janet and Jo will go tonight!

VikingBlood · 27/09/2011 20:05

I'm eating a chocolate mousse for good measure.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 27/09/2011 20:39

Is that really how you make croissant dough? Shock Jesus, Mary and St Joseph, no wonder I'm the size I am! Blush

HarrietJones · 27/09/2011 20:43

It's a bit scary isn't it blames dh for pastry addiction

VikingBlood · 27/09/2011 20:44

But they're so light, physically I mean.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 27/09/2011 20:47

Yeah well I'm not! :o

VikingBlood · 27/09/2011 20:54

Janet's a goner.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 27/09/2011 20:57

How is Jo staying in??

iklboo · 27/09/2011 20:58

I butter a croissant when I have one. I might as well mainline Lurpak!!! Shock

GwendolineMaryLacey · 27/09/2011 21:00

Jaysus iklboo, should we just book your bed in ICU now? :o

franke · 27/09/2011 21:00

Aww, I'm sorry to see Janet go, I liked her. Hope Jo wins.

hobnobsaremyfavourite · 27/09/2011 21:01

Mary ann all the way

VikingBlood · 27/09/2011 21:01

iklboo my hubby likes cheese and ham in his. Clearly deliciousness is directly related to fat content.

iklboo · 27/09/2011 21:13

I'm counting myself lucky I only have about one or two a year. Ham & cheese sounds lovely. Mmmm. Probably safer if I just imagine it Grin

TougherThanTheRest · 27/09/2011 21:21

MaryAnn to win I think, I love that she's so creative even if it doesn't always work out. Saying that, having heard Jo say that she's never had a chance to have a career as she married so young, and seeing how little confidence she has in her abilities, I'd quite like to see her win. Definitely one of those two though, have gone right off Holly. She's too smug and gets stroppy when she doesn't do well plus she cooks by numbers, she's got no passion for it, or if she has it doesn't come across.

SecretNutellaFix · 27/09/2011 21:21

I add butter and jam to mine iklboo.

Terpsichore · 27/09/2011 21:27

I think Holly's mask slipped a bit with that comment about 'I hope one of you dies'. I haven't warmed to her at all. Janet, on the other hand, is lovely and I liked her little thank-you to everyone at the end. Very gracious in defeat.
