How to be a domestic goddess

So who wants to try my double chocolate chip muffins, ginger and syrup cake, and flapjacks? Or give it another hour and the bolognaise should be ready. Made with pancetta and a mixture of minced beef, veal and pork. (And most of a bottle of red wine)

Looks like I'm the only one, CJ.

They don't know what they're missing. The flapjacks are rather good (if I say so myself).

I will try the bottle of wine.

I like cake!

Mmmmm muffins!

I see your chocolate chip muffins, and raise you a passionfruit and dark chocolate torte, with orange popping candy worked into the base (cheers Heston) that I made for the wife's birthday this weekend...

Damn you lot.....I had some toast.... got a little too into playing Mass Effect I didn't realise the time and forgot to eat

Wow! That sounds good. I'll be looking out for you on Masterchef (or Mastergiraffe in your case)

Mastergiraffe sounds like a failed title on the sega dreamcast

Sounds amazing CJ.......Much better than the Satay Pork stir fry, I had to endure yesterday....

Because I'm shockily bad at cooking, I got creative with the normal bland stuff I can make. my wife was treated to a fort of potato, with sausage turrets and a moat of beans...

Sounds good to me!

Mr C makes a rather good Cornish pasty.

That dollop of sauce is never going to be enough for that pasty

That was purely for the photograph. Two minutes later and you couldn't see the pasty for beans and sauce.

Got a homemade cheese and onion pasty in my sandwich bag today. Great. It's 7.20am and I'm already thinking about dinner (or lunch if you're posh/southern*)

As it is 1pm....one is leaving the field of work for the Luncheon Interval!!

What you mean posh/southern? Its Breakfast, lunch, tea.

I think you'll find its breakfast, tea break, elevenses, lunch, coffee break, tea, dinner, supper, late night snack. Diet is going well

Ah but you're a giraffe, you need all that extra food. And you've missed out brunch.

The correct order is of course, breakfast, dinner, tea, supper.

once got invited to supper. In my house 'supper' is two digestives* and a glass of milk, so I had my tea before I went. Didn't make that mistake twice.

* Actually it's probably more likely to be Oreos these days.

I think Leafy has it right....except he forgot to add second breakfast....hey if it is good enough for a hobbit then it is good enough for me
