It's a hard life sometimes!

Tell me about it! What a drag.

I bought biscuits in Aldi this morning, for solace.

Chocolate biscuits, I sat and ate them all at one go, I feel sick now and I'm still missing that cake.

You should have purchased some of their stollen.

The boss has been baking today, under my supervision obviously.
Nutty, chocolate & blueberry biscuits.
Plain & coffee shortbread.
Cupcakes of some description.
She's now on with stollen rolls, mince pies then sticky toffee puddings to finish with.
Then she wonders why I can't lose weight.
Savoury baking tomorrow plus panna cotta & chocolate mousses.
I hope my new shirt fits me on Boxing Day.

Did Alan Bennet write this post?

i would guess its more likely to be off, especially doing a pitch inspection on Fri am

Do you mind?!? We're discussing cake here.

If you have information regarding anything Pre-Match for the Boxing Day fixture between Leeds and Wakefield could you please start an appropriate thread with an appropriate title and stop interrupting our cake thread.

TIA.

i need to take my mind off cake... its making me hungry...
I may need to go to Aldi on the way home and get some stollen. Buy I do know the kids have been making a Cadbury's chocolate cake today. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm chocolate !!!!

I've just nipped home to pick up my camera (niece's concert) and we're onto batch 9 of Cheesecake. This is the last one I'm allowed to eat before a decision needs to be made as to which one we're going for.

The current leader is White Chocolate & Baileys.

There's some mince pies in the oven too, and apparently she's made the mincemeat from scratch too!

I bought a huge stollen cake at the German market last year, imagine my surprise when I got it home to find that none of the family like stollen cake, imagine how disappointed I was at their news and the fact that I had to eat all of it myself.

Then they reminded me that the same thing had happened the year before too, silly me, fancy forgetting that no-one else likes the stuff in our house, I mean, you'd only buy a small piece if you knew that wouldn't you ?

White chocolate and baileys cheesecake, where do you live, heaven ?

forget the game on Boxing day. Just have a cake sale in the long bar instead

Now that does sound like a decent cheesecake.
The best I've eaten came from a shop Marie Callenders in LA - its a chain - but they were great; could feed a family of 12 ( 4 if yanks) or one McF.

The thing is, she's been making single size portions to see which works best, but now it's drawing nearer and we have a shortlist she's onto full size cheesecakes to get the proportions and presentation right, and we can't take it round on Christmas Day with a slice or two missing. That would be just rude. So I think we'll use this one as a full size tester to be sure.

Pitch inspection 9am tomorrow. www.therhinos.co.uk/news/15628.php

One things sure, if it's off Wakefield are in street as they are in desperate need of the cash.

Quote ="rhinoms"Pitch inspection 9am tomorrow. www.therhinos.co.uk/news/15628.php'" It doesn't sound too promising all of a sudden? Up until this announcement all the noises from HQ were very positive that the game would go ahead and now out of the blue a pitch inspection at a ridiculous time and talk about how they have only just got some gas to work the hot blowers. If its off I hope they can rearrange for Monday with a similar time kick off which as its a bank holiday surely means they'll get a much bigger crowd than Wed at 7-30pm which has previously been banded about on here.

That press release was online from the start of the week in a different bulletin, they were appealing for gas suppliers to step forward as bottled gas was in short supply - you wouldn't want to be thawing the pitch out before the weekend anyway.

I can't believe that no-one thought that there wouldn't be a pitch inspection at some point between now and Sunday or that there won't be one on Sunday morning as well.

getting back to the important things... cakes etc.

my wifes friend has delivered 8 fresh mince pies from [url=http://www.dumouchel.co.uk/Dumouchel[/url at garforth.... absolutely gorgeous.

my mum makes her own. beautiful they are too.

i will not be at the game but i may be able to make an announcement as why in the next day or two.

My mother used to make her own mince pies too, the crust (yes they had a crust) had the consistency of wet MDF and there was always a rim around the lid of burnt mincemeat that was completely inedible. Most of her mince pies ended up on the front lawn where starlings would gather and wait for a run of several rainy days to soften the pastry after which they devour them and be unable to take off until digested three or four days later.

She also did mince tarts which were the same but with icing on top instead of a lid which just lulled you into a false sense of security - the icing was straight forward enough to navigate but the mincemeat beneath had its own micro-climate and would retain heat for days, it was like licking molten lava out of a wet MDF mould.

I won't even start on the xmas day she served the turkey still raw, the timer on the new oven confused her.

Fu*k it - I'm still going on Boxing day, even if there's no cake at all.

Assuming the game is on and everyone hasn't OD'd on cake .. Who is gonna be in the supporters club pre-match ?

Me and JR will probably be stood outside as usual .

I hope the game doesn't go on if it means that the pitch will be ruined for the first few weeks of the season as happened last year.
