lol, I hope that your cooking is better than your Spanish Barbra
Dianes recipe is very similar

Linda
same cake just slightly different ingredient's, maybe Barbra will make both and see which she like's the best lol
She might like them both as much as each other

Diane

Oh Barbra...

Sorry...... your Muchas Grasiarse has reduced me to tears,
I just lost it, much to OHs and dogs alarm.

Tec

Your welcome, let us know what it was like I like parkin but have never made it, I can't wait to get stuck into my Christmas cake I have made.I have been feeding it Brandy for the last 2 or 3 mth's, do you lad's remember discussing it sometime ago lol

Diane

Barbra just re-read what you put
as Tec said PMSL

Diane

Time for bed for me,so goodnight everyone and don't post too much, or I will have pages to catch up on in the morning.

Diane - how do you find time to bake cakes?

That recipe looks good. Is it a round-tin type of cake, or a flat, slice type?

I wouldn't mind trying it and I'm very tempted, except that the spices are the only things in the recipe that my dietician would approve of! If I made it and nobody came to see me - I would keep going on it myself until it was all gone - and my diet would be gone out the window too!

Goodnight Linda,
Sleep well, keep warm,

Tec

Good night, Linda. Get your rest. You need it to cope with what's coming. You might get a rest if the house takes time to sell, but if it goes soon, you will be working flat-out to clear everything.

Barbra, tell Allan to get himself over here. Tec needs him!

Ask him in English, though. I wouldn't trust the Spanish if I were you.

Good evening/ morning all

To my utter shame, I have only just awakened..fell asleep last night on the sofa, woke at 11:30pm and stayed up until 01:30am watching a James Bond film!

Allan

goodnight Linda

Berona excuse me for being thick, not sure if you mean recipe for Barbra or my christmas cake, if Barbra's recipe it is a square tin if my chrimbo cake round tin.
I intended to make the chrimbo cake last chrimbo but didn't get round to it till about july this yr, have been feeding it brandy each month since hope to marzipan it soon and after the marzipan has dried out I will ice it, should be ready for xmas this yr lol

Diane

Anyone fancy a swim in the sea?

No skinny dipping - they're fussy round here

Tec

Hi Allan
You lazy so in so, thought you were out with your bin's and lady friend lol

Diane

Deffinately not Tec too cold hun

Diane

Hi Diane...a case of wheres you bin!

Allan

Ahh Barbra...I'm now going to have to widen the doorways to get my head through :0))

Allan

Good Morning bleary eyed Allan,

What time do you call this? it's nearly lunch time,

But have to say the girls have been very gentle with me,
they're waiting for you to provoke them.

Tec

PMSL Allan

Diane

Thanks Diane - I meant the Parkin. I wouldn't dare make a Christmas cake - I love fruit cake too much - and that's a definite no-no for me! It wouldn't a case of blaming 'no visitors' for me eating it - I would be hiding it from them if they did come!
