“Well Dad its ….”
All I had to do was bake 12 fairy cakes. Even I can do that surely. All was going so well. The cake mix passed the Hawklad eating it from the bowl test.
I just had to put it into the oven for 12 minutes and remember to take it out. No need for a timer, I just have to focus for 12 minutes. I can do that. I can avoid being distracted.
TWENTY EIGHT minutes later….Pants…..out the abominations came from the oven. A tad CRISPY.
Attempt two, this time with TIMER.
And the results. The great taste test from Hawklad.
“Well it’s not terrible”
I will settle for that. Eat your heart out Gordon Ramsey, that’s a review.

If I can have a go, surely you can. You know it makes sense.

Never give up G!!! The second batch looked very respectable. The first batch – I am sure we can think of all sorts of uses for barbequed fairy cakes.

I made some bread dough a couple of days ago. In half of the mixture I put grated potato 🥔 and in the other half I added sultanas. The fruity one was like what we call tit buns, but without the icing and cherry on top. The potato bread 🍞 turned out really dense. So, I sliced it up the next day and fried it, having that with some fried sweet red pepper added to a jar of Seeds of Change tikka masala sauce. The potato bread was a bit like eating a chip butty slice. Anyways, it was edible and that’s what counts, right?

Anything that tastes of a chip butty is great with me.

It was just right to go with the sauce, and next time I will try it with sweet and sour stir fry veg or Meat-free Richmond sausages and gravy.
