  1. Lots of good advice! Thanks for the replies AH HA!!!! Glad you said this, because I remember years ago making jam roly poly a lot and I never used suet. I started thinking it was my imagination but since you say this I might try it again without the suet. I just used to use butter and flour, is that what you do? I think I might be over handling it! My body temp is always on the warm side lol and I think I am handling it too much. Maybe adding too much water too, I'll try adding slower.
  2. Help! I have jam roly poly problems! I don't really do baking or puddings. At all. This is my third attempt at one of my fave English puds... and it's going the same way as the others, ie not well lol Can anybody give me some advice? I make the dough with suet and flour and water. Every time I make it and roll it out the dough is far too soft and falls apart when I move it. I thought it might be because I was making it too thin but today I made it a lot thicker and still a problem with it. Today's effort is not too bad - it didn't fall apart lol but still having that problem? What am I doing wrong do you think?
  3. I don't think that would be very difficult
  4. I was like that with Winston Churchill, but I finally went for Einstein :-)
  5. Don't encourage her!!! Difficult, difficult, question! It's one of those questions that if I sat and thought about it I would go around and around in circles. It's the sort of question you would get different answers depending on the day and my mood. I'll go for... Vincent Van Gogh Gabriel Garcia Marquez Albert Einstein And my friend Raquel because I know it's a party she wouldn't want to miss!
  6. Happens to me too, and not just books. I get that way with everything I do. I find that I just need a break from things to recharge. I find I get burned out with whatever it is, if I don't take a break from it and go do something else instead for awhile. I recently came out of a period where I wasn't reading. I do love books though, I don't think I could ever go without them being a part of my life in some way.
  7. Helloooooooooooo! Welcome to the forum
  8. Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeello! Welcome to the all singing, all dancing, book forum
  9. Maybe that was the problem. Mine were just pretty plain. I think it had a little butter in there, not to mention It was served in Waffle House. This morning I was very naughty and had a cream cake for breakfast!
  10. Welcome Have a great time, I'm sure you will, just watch out for the book ninjas! ... just kidding about the ninjas
  11. I don't normally watch a lot of TV, but find myself watching a fair few shows at the moment. Heros: My fave! I notice loads of people mentioning this! Gorden Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares: Hurrah, adventures with the sweary chef! Saturday Kitchen: It's a nice relaxing program and gets me in the mood for cooking up a storm in the kitchen. Masters of SF: Enjoying the show so far! History of Photography: I likes photograhy, so I likes this too. Visions of the future: First one was on Monday, but not sure if I'll watch more... it's OK, but a bit too thin on tech and in depth discussion for my tastes. Whose line is it anyway: Normally catch it most week days on the wonderfully named "Dave" channel. The McDonald Legend TV AD: OK, I know it's not a tv program, but I love it! It makes me laugh every time. I know, I'm sad lol
  12. I tend to like many different poems by many different poets. However, a few that I like the best are: Pablo Neruda, W H Auden, Shelly, Byron, and Dillon Thomas. There are There are probably some that I have forgotten. I used to love to sit and read ( sometimes write ) poetry but it's not something I have done for a long time.
  13. Why hello! Welcome to the bestestist forum!
