John's (it was John, wasn't it?) finger didn't look great did it? I couldn't work out why he was wearing latex gloves though, they don't usually do they?

WipsGlitter · 12/09/2012 21:28

I think they put the gloves on to stem the blood flow. Danny had them on too.

Shakes Brendan Pom-poms.

Team Brendan/James right here!

greeneggs (or anyone else) got a good pumpkin pie recipe as I am still to find one? This episode reminded me.

TwoIfBySea · 12/09/2012 23:17

You could try this although I've not made it so can't vouch, pumpkin pie tends to be a bit sickly sweet so small slices I think! Unless you have an ultra sweet tooth!

GreenEggsAndNichts · 12/09/2012 23:40

Certainly that recipe sounds very sweet. Shock Have done a quick search, this is the no-frills recipe many of us make for Thanksgiving, no sugar but gets sweetness from the condensed milk. It's the bog standard one you find on the tin of pumpkin. I personally quite like it, and one of the things I like is that it's not that sweet. Well, certainly not compared to the pecan pie which is often also served at our Thanksgiving meal!

I realise those measurements aren't terribly helpful here, you can tick the 'metric' box and get the proper weight of the tinned pumpkin, for example.

The traditional pie sets like a thick custard, it's actually one of the few times I've recommend a tin of pumpkin over cooking my own fresh, as the tinned version has had some moisture removed.

If you like pumpkin pie flavour but don't like the texture, pumpkin cheesecake is very nice (doesn't need those pecans on top, though). Use crushed digestive biscuits instead of graham cracker crumbs for the base; the taste is similar.

Hi - Anyone know where I could get the recipe for the Key Lime Pie with ginger that Ryan made the other night on GBBO? Its not on the website. Many thanks! Smile

Gigondas · 13/09/2012 14:29

Great recipes -thanks Smile

GreenEggsAndNichts · 13/09/2012 14:53

Serendipity According to the FB page, it's in the new cookbook they're marketing, GBBO Showstoppers. I assume it'll be online at some point..

SerendipityAlways · 13/09/2012 15:59

Greeneggs - Thanks! I've found a bbc good food one for the moment so am going to try that at home this evening Smile

GreenEggsAndNichts · 13/09/2012 16:55

oh nice one! I've just found one with crushed ginger nuts as the crust, that sounds very nice. :)

I love key lime pie!

VikingVagine · 13/09/2012 18:54

The book is also available on Kindle and it's actually alright.

WingDefence · 18/09/2012 14:05

Look at the clip from tonight - it all looks like it's going a bit haywire!

Clip from tonight's episode

And there's John's accident to look forward to watch out for!

Ooooh....

GreenEggsAndNichts · 18/09/2012 20:05

Hello everyone! Puddings ahoy!

VikingVagine · 18/09/2012 20:11

They keep hinting at Bradon's sexuality and it's annoying me.

GreenEggsAndNichts · 18/09/2012 20:14

DH decided he needed to have a conversation right this minute so I missed any refs to Bradon's sexuality. or anything else. Cept that dropped pudding. :(

GreenEggsAndNichts · 18/09/2012 20:20

Like chewing on a piece of card. Grin

VikingVagine · 18/09/2012 20:20

Someone didn't get any hanky panky this week.

coffeeinbed · 18/09/2012 20:22

What was that strange noise Catheryn just made?

VikingVagine · 18/09/2012 20:23

Not sure, but my (13yo) pupils make it regularly...

y do mary and paul come in for the blind bake in the beginning. they shdnt come at all. i find it very silly that they are asked to leave every time

GreenEggsAndNichts · 18/09/2012 20:30

I don't know, but I like watching their interaction with each other more than I like Mel and Sue together. blasphemy, I know.

hugoagogo · 18/09/2012 20:30

I am I the only person who does not know what a 'queen of puddings' is? Confused

coffeeinbed · 18/09/2012 20:35

Dani's doing well.
