Cakes rise in the middle... What's wrong with my jam? Help with vodka jellies please! Best ask pam or sam.
Have just bought some tofu... Put it in the bin! Next time hope a vegie type Beats the meaties in ;)
Favourite pizza topping? Make them thin and spare; Moi has been to Italy They do them proper there.
Help! corn beef in crock pot! Best cut for roast pork? Got bacon out for dinner... All this foodie talk!
Knives are out and flashing - Authentic or ersatz? Out come packet-bashers; In come poison darts.
Helpful posters tune in; Not all like to bite. Like all kitchens everywhere Equal heat and light ;)

elliehen ~ that was cool! I enjoyed it ... and I personally wouldn't know the difference from an ode to a haiku but I enjoyed it nevertheless

ps: just looked up ~
ode: n, a poem expressing noble feelings, often addressed to a person or celebrating an event.
doggerel: n, bad verse.
So davidt4 ... surely it's only a bad verse in someone's opinion and not everyone elses?

Hi darlingmole. This is not really the place for an English lesson, but an ode is a verse form that observes a particular structure (as does a haiku, which you mentioned earlier). elliehen's effort above does not conform to any of the accepted ode formats.

hi davidt4 ... yes I know but my point was that it's only opinion that ellliehens "poem" was doggerel because there are a few who actually enjoyed it (far better than what I could manage that's for sure! )

I like parts of it to be honest elliehen, quite cleverly done.
However the not so subtle stabs at certain posters? Are those the 'poison darts' your talking about? You should really stop being so immature.

darlingmole, thank you for your generosity of spirit. After all this is not Eng Lit 101.
As indy95 quoted in her thread 'Maxims for Dedicated Cooks': "No mean cook can cook well; it calls for a generous spirit, a light hand and a large heart. "

Might also be that we have a gutsfull of elliehen giving flaming remarks here - but no recipe help whatsoever - even if prompted by several people on here in a very nice way ... just a loser as far as I am concerned now.
Sorry to say but I thought much more of you elliehen in the beginning. But there is absolutely nothing forthcoming in the way of any help on these boards - you are just trying to get us all angry and upset against each other.
I for one will not answer any of your queries and stupid remarks from now on - may you have "fun" with other gullible people on here.

That's better! Thought it had been a quiet and tame around here lately!

Oh nooooooooooooooo - not again! I was just saying to a fellow colleague the other day (who never posts but follows) how lovely it has been lately with no sign of any of this! ! ! ! ! ! Oh well - it was lovely while it lasted. I thought the #1 posting - whatever it is to be called quite clever and light hearted for a Sun.

Thanks, maynard9, for taking my ode/doggerel/verse-or-worse in the spirit in which it was intended. On a sunny Sunday the Recipes MB doesn't merit those very few sour and humourless posts.
