A barnbrack I have made is in the oven. Round loaf with currants. You're welcome to try.

[Theland]

That should go down well.
You were lucky to obtain the flour.

[marval]

Thank you Theland, i have pored myself a cup of tea.

[Mamyalynne]

I bring a malt loaf and some chorley cakes.

[Theland]

Pored or poured?

[jennyjoan]

[Prudie]

I'm about to make a pavlova, homemade meringue with fresh raspberries and double cream.

[MartinMillar]

Peanut butter cookies and a wheaten loaf with homemade salted butter

[Theland]

Chorley cakes?
I always knew them as Eccles cakes or, "flies graveyard."

[lady-janine]

Last of the gf flour for a lemon drizzle cake if anyone wants a slice. Service with a couple of grapes and a spoonful of clotted cream.

[Hopkirk]

Only two people at each table please.

[Theland]

Martin - Wheaten? Mrs T's favourite, a Belfast girl.

[rowanwitch]

Strong tea, skimmed and extra strong headache pills.... this canary does not shut up..

[Mamyalynne]

Chorley cakes and Eccles cakes are two different treats Theland.

[marval]

Oops sorry, poured, must learn to spell.

[MartinMillar]

Put a cloth over his cage rowan so he will go to sleep

[Theland]

LJ - Lemon Drizzle, another favourite of Mrs T.

[Prudie]

I think if you were from up North you'd definitely say chorley and eccles cake were distinctly different.

[rowanwitch]

Bit early yet, I think he is just glad to be safe and fed.. speaking of which because of him I didn't get my baking done.... rich tea will do.

[iluvmargie]

Yes please Lady J, I'll have a slice. That is my most favourite cake.
