In France, they call the prickly bit the bogue, which I think sounds suitably horrible! It was great fun rattling those pans though the deadline was very tight so it meant a lot of late nights and early mornings. I can't wait to see the finished book. Love your footie gag! Sadly, poor Mark is a Liverpool supporter. Apart from that he seems fairly sound of mind.<br />MarkyD, You gotta make this cake with our jam as soon as you can. It's just beyond... Thanks for the clip - made me howl. I start laughing as soon as I hear the tinkling of the bell at the beginning because I know what's coming next.<br />Avril, Hey lovely lady! You never know what's round the corner....<br /><br />DxxLickedspoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10910664613805029106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060008016421967331.post-74654158862838322672010-03-26T11:40:17.745+00:002010-03-26T11:40:17.745+00:00Cake looks and sounds heavenly- good luck to Mark&...Cake looks and sounds heavenly- good luck to Mark's new book but I have to admit the one I'm waiting for yours!<br />Love<br /><br />Avril xAvrilhttp://www.avriljoy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060008016421967331.post-88441624271553797362010-03-26T11:39:23.771+00:002010-03-26T11:39:23.771+00:00oh lordy, I have a couple of jars sitting in the c...oh lordy, I have a couple of jars sitting in the cupboard and it's not quite ice cream weather (i love it as sauce on top) so this cake is where they're going. thank you x<br /><br />PS I DO know what a nail bar is....where this man is shopping http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qu9MptWyCB8MarkDhttp://www.otterfarm.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060008016421967331.post-31030433768110237642010-03-26T11:17:54.146+00:002010-03-26T11:17:54.146+00:00No wonder you were absent for so long from licked ...No wonder you were absent for so long from licked spoon. Nice to know you were still licking spoons though, even though you can't share the recipes just yet. Ooooh, sounds really exciting Debora. Was all the experimenting exciting? I just watched a cooking show on tv a little over half an hour ago that showed how chestnuts were grown. I had no idea they looked like prickly mini spiny anteaters hanging off the tree. You would be moaning about more than just your nails dear if you had to remove the husky spikes as well. Ouch. <br />Love the sensual looking chocolate cake that uses a handful of quality ingredients. Im curious. What is that other red team?
