This is my eat along this week

Straight in with the innuendos "bloomers and baps"

I make chocolate bread for the kids to have toasted for breakfast. It's wonderful with butter and honey.

I've come to realise that Paul annoys me. I don't think he's so qualified to judge - his rolls that they sell in supermarkets are horrible and dry and when he did his bread TV series everything he baked was burned.

Is it possible he just got lucky?

I like Rav more and more each week - he just has a great attitude and so smiley

Middleclass that looks lovely. I am very jealous munching on my peach. I may make a slimming world doughnut later though.

Nanny Cobbles. Of course.

Oooh Middle - that looks sooo nice and crunchy and gooey and.. I want some!!!

Slimming world doughnut sounds like more of a win!

God I always forget how smug Paul is this week. I want to slap his smug face!

Hi all, slightly late as it's DHs 45th and we just polished off some lovely steak + chocolate/buttercream cake.
Agree about Rav!

DH just yelled, "Fuck off, Kate!" at the tv.

I feel he may be over-invested

I love bread week.

And I like Hollywood's bread recipes. They're delicious when I make them.

I'm not sure about chocolate breads in 2 1/2 hours, though.

We are on holiday and my internet is laggy as hell. None of my comments are going to make sense.

Hellooo Selasi. He's looking good this week.

Has a man ever won?
First year I watched was when Francis won.

You are coming through loud and clear atm Grouchy no worries

I'm very menstrual, and bread is my favourite thing. And chocolate.
God I want to eat the computer right now.

Small under filled ball.

Snurk.

Loving the looks of Candice, Kate and Jane's loaves.

Edd Kimber won the 1st series and John Whaite won series 3(? I think)

First winner was Edd Kimber. Third winner was John Waite.

Loads of men have won, no?

I obvs meant I'd eat the telly.
But I do have extreme munchies, so...

Lol ok maybe not loads but only on 7 series

Men have won.
Frances was last year?

John Whaite, Ed Kimber too I think.

Spotted Chocolate is medicine.

fourq Naturally, after I wrote that, the internet started behaving.
