F.a.o. Donny

[Tilly2]

I made your egg custard yesterday. I cheated a bit and used a bought pastry case. :-)

Mr T had a piece this morning and I took some for my Dad earlier on. Both of them said it was lovely and at first my dad refused to believe that I had actually made it. So, thank you for that. A resounding success. xxx


Next time, I might also put in a vanilla pod.

Okay.....that's pudding sorted for the next Rutland outing...... ;-)

[Tilly2]

With pleasure, Gness. Do you like egg custard?

[donny48]

Yes Tilly, vanilla just adds to the flavour. there is an orange custard,

Glad it worked well for you. I as a large very blokey looking bloke have come up against disbelief for my cakes and desserts.

I had some in 1958.....made by and aunt and didn't like that....but I'll give it another try thank you....x

[Smowball]

What's the recipe Tilly?

[gness]

So have I, Donny....:-(

[donny48]

Try the orange one, Gness. i don't like the plain one but the orange is good.

[gness]

Gness, you have not had one of these since 1958? What a shame you don't like them. It's the only thing I can make.

[gness]

No, Tilly.....think the one auntie made put me off.....a friend buys those but I never pinch one....

Thanks, Donny......I might give that a go.......xx

[Tilly2]

I'm not going to attempt the orange one, Donny/Gness. It looks far to complicated. :-(

[Tilly2]

I can make rock cakes!

(Most of my cakes turn out to be rock cakes)

[donny48]

It's funny that cooking dinners, mains and starters, are boring to me. My arm is well up my back to do them but I enjoy desserts and cakes.

[Tilly2]

Gness, should we invite Donny to Rutland?

Do you like birds, Donny? ..........Birds like Ospreys, for example

[gness]

I think we should, Tilly.....Donny and cake......♥

[donny48]

I don't travel far except for annual holidays, Ann has some problems with travel or new people but I am grateful for the offer.

[Tilly2]

That's ok, Donny. Just send the cake. :-)

That'll do fine, Donny........☺
