Damons? Plums?
The message
from Judith in France contains these words: Proper trifle please. I don't do proper trifle, but it goes thusly: Break-up some dry sponge in the bottom of a deeply cut lead-crystal bowl. Molish a jelly double-strength, then add about half the jelly's volume of cream sherry. (Don't skimp - British 'sherry' WILL NOT DO. Pour jelly over the sponge and allow to set. (You can have a layer of jam in the very bottom, if desired. Suggest strawberry is best.) Molish an egg custard, and pour it ver the jelly before it (the custard) sets, but not so that it is hot enough to destroy your best lead crystal bowl. Leave to set, and cool. Cover with whipped double cream. Note: REAL trifle doesn't contain fruit salad. Also note: My version does... .... and mosht of it pre-schteeped in schnappsh, or calvadosh, or shimilar. -- Rusty Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk Separator in search of a sig |

The message
from Martin contains these words: The fact that we could download an English version manual was the thing that made up our minds when we bought one. We didn't really want another manual in Polish Czech and ... ....translated into Korean, and from there into Ingrish. -- Rusty Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk Separator in search of a sig |

The message from K contains these words: I'm not sure whether mine are wild or alpine (they were already here when I bought the house) - suspect the latter. In a wet year like this they can attain the size of marbles, they produce lots of runners (I let them grow where they will and just heave out an armful when I want to plant anything), started fruiting in May and are still producing a few berries. I've even had enough to put a few boxes in the deepfreeze. Not alpines, then, as they don't produce runners. That's what I thought, but I've never met wilds this big From the fruiting regimen it sounds as if you have wild strawbs. -- Kay |

Oh, I'm good, just not enthusiastic ;-) -- Kay |

I'll most likely buy one now That looks like ours. We like it, but we do the baking in the oven for better crusts. Nice to spend a couple of minutes chucking ingredients in then come back a couple of hours later to risen dough. -- Kay |

Allow to work for a day, then make another pot of gruel and when cool, seed it with a tablespoon of yesterday's brew. That reminds me (though it's quite different) of sourdough bread, where you make a dough and leave it on the windowsill for a few days to catch whatever yeasts it can. Gives a very dense and interesting bread. Said to be improved by chucking in a few veg or fruit that are past their best - sound grim but the results are good (rather like making scones or soda bread with sour milk - the lactic acid reacts with the soda and the results are incredibly light and with no trace of sourness) -- Kay |

Where do you buy it Val as I could pick up some in September when I visit my girls. Judith Judith, I too make my bread in (with) a Kenwood mixer using a very similar method to Val, but I don't use non-stick baking paper. I cut up an old plastic bag and oil it lightly and use that. (I don't use plastic carriers as a rule, but sometimes they get forced on me!) I did think quite seriously about getting a breadmaker until I realised that a large loaf was just taller - not larger all round - and I also make two big loaves at a time using a 1.5kg bag of flour. -- Sally in Shropshire, UK Posted through the usenet newsgroup uk.rec.gardening |

Many years ago, before breadmakers, I used to make the bread, the children were very young and I used to make a lot of bread! I used the big Kenwood and it was always a success. Now the Kenwood sits in the pantry and I hardly use it except for Christmas cakes and big mixes otherwise I just use a small hand mixer.

I did think quite seriously about getting a breadmaker until I realised that a large loaf was just taller - not larger all round - and I also make two big loaves at a time using a 1.5kg bag of flour. That's what I do too Sally. Make two big loaves and freeze one. I don't eat a lot of bread so one large loaf lasts Tony for almost a week, and then I defrost the second one. I use a mixture of flours including one with mixed seeds in it - delicious I bake two loaves every ten days or so. I think you must be me in a parallel universe - you too have a Tony, and chickens.
