Aken Mahaf we have a little Honey Rum liquor, slightly sweet for our rather bitter taste, but wonder if it would be of use in your bread mixes?

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.

A little tale about vanilla extract...
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.

The fools - they thought it was Supercook vanilla essence then...
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

I can't believe Vanilla extract is that expensive-gosh

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 :-)
Looking forward to meeting you again
