No we brought it back from somewhere, it was a local speciality can't remember where Barry liked it when he tried it but then decided it was too sweet.
My bread machine was a wow for a few weeks, till I got tired of it.
Don't like that big hole in the bottom of the bread. And as for making it so that it is fresh and warm for breakfast - it must start in the middle of the night....... Forget it.....the noise when it does is like a herd of migrating Gnus!!!!!
[face=Comic Sans MS]My Swiss friend gets up at 5-30 am every morning just so that his wife can have the pleasure of freshly baked bread for breakfast. [/face]

About a year ago, I purchased a bottle in a well-known supermarket chain. When I got home, I looked at my bill and discovered it had been priced up at £1.20 instead of £12 a bottle. I got back in the car, returned to well-known supermarket and bought another 6 bottles! Good job it has a long shelf life.
On another note; if you split a vanilla pod or two and put them into a container (about 1 pound capacity) of caster sugar, after about a month, you will have a ready supply of vanilla sugar. Keep toppinng the container up with sugar until the pods lose their potency. Same with cinnamon sticks.
Things are never so bad that they can't get worse.

I keep extracts in the fridge here (and when I lived in Britain too actually) as the heat during the summer would destroy them I'm sure

FABlux & BBLUX - Thank you!!!
The miniatures smell wonderful! I think they're likely to make a very pleasant addition to some unusual creation in my kitchen. Tea time at my place on your next visit...?
Thank you again for hauling them all the way from England! What a wonderful gesture :-)

Who try Ragabs, they have different kinds of flour and I'm sure they have bread flour in there.
When I first came to Luxor it was necessary to find someone with a sack of wholemeal flour and put it through several sievings to remove both the bran and the weevils. :)

The bakers revolt seems simple but it isn't and like most protests is based on self interest, in this case a lifestyle based (for many) on decades of rorting the Government.

Ooh, just beat me to it, Tony! And make sure your fruit is as fresh as possible, especially strawberries. :P Pectin is the magic ingredient.
