*waves to toady* - I am still cooking your favourite brown rice salad for my visitors :) And yes - you are right - if it gets rainy and I cannot get into my beloved garden then I get bored - and see if I can "improve" my fellow citizens :) And look how much fun I have brought to you all :) Cannot see why you all get so upset about it.

fgs people get over yourselves- just enjoy the info you get from here. The more you reply to uli & elliehen & the like the more they relish it . There are some great threads if you ignore all the backbiting and negativity.

If you say so elliehen - but if I'm ever in a room with some of you lot and someone starts handing out kitchen knives, I'm running for cover

You are such a smart a**e that I bet you could sit on a tub of ice-cream and tell us what flavour it is.

really!
escapes to Gardening until sanity returns to Recipes. Merry Christmas everyone- and a big dose of Christmas spirit to go around to all who so obviously need it.

My favourite is The Homestore in the Rialto Arcade in Newmarket.The staff are well-informed, pleasant and helpful (unlike Millie's) and they have a good range of high quality products.
Try Books, katalin.Bookies can usually agree to disagree in the friendliest manner after reading the very same book ;)
Happy Christmas to all and please give books for Christmas!

I, for one, am glad cooks occasionally mentions the shop on here or I would not have known about it. I made a special trip over there for a purchase.

Lots do Kay.a large number from Wellington, Hawkes Bay, Palmerston North who all say there is just nothing like it. Have had a few people from the UK liken it to the next best thing to Lakeland in the UK. Jo Seagar apparently thinks we have the best website bar none ( as told to one of our reps) which is a lovely thing for her to say.

So she HAS no shop! And she never really "advertises it either. Which is amazing really as we all know her lovely recipe:
Lemon Yoghurt Cake This recipe has been in the family for over 25 years it was given to my Mother a friend in Seattle hence the use of a "bundt" tin. Bundt tins are available for sale in our catalogue. The cake keeps extremely well and freezes beautifully. Just remember to grease tin well with butter and dust with flour,shaking off the excess before filling with mixture. Ingredients: 1 & 3/4 cups caster sugar rind 2-3 lemons 2 eggs 1 cup sunflower oil 1/2 tsp salt 1 cup plain unsweetened yoghurt (not low fat) 2-3 tsp lemon juice 2 cups self raising flour Method: Beat eggs,oil,sugar and peel together in a large bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients in the order above. Butter and flour a 24cm bundt tin . Bake at 180C for 40-45 minutes. Test with a cake tester. Let cake rest only 5 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack. Dust cold cake with sifted icing sugar.
