Made these from msmofet recipe here. I can't eat nuts so left those out and had dark chocolate on hand. Mom loved them so had to leave before she took the lot!

 

[Puggles]

Dexter?!

No, just.... The truth.

Baking makes me feel better. Sourdough krusty rolls

 

[AdaptAndAchieve]

Spiced date and pecan muffins (they have treacle and molasses sugar in them too).
These will do nicely as a first breakfast item

Out for a curry with some mates last night, but mine was a bit disappointing.

First up I had a king prawn puri which was the best of my dishes. That was actually really good.

But my main was a chicken biryani and when it arrived I was poking around under this mass of vegetables on top looking for some chicken but couldn't find any, so called the waiter and said I thought I had been mistakenly served a vegetable biriyani. It had plenty of chunks of tomato, potato, broccoli... not things I'd normally associate with a chicken briyani.

Anyway he took it off me then used my spoon to dig in the rice and said it was indeed a chicken biryani and gave it back. So I had a look and under the pile of rice were some tiny cubes of chicken about 1cm on a side nestling amongst the grains. My mate and I counted 5 such pieces.

Anyway, the manager came over to try and make good and asked me if I would like some extra chicken and he would throw in some free chicken tikka. How could I say no? So they brought out these rather dry, overcooked and tasteless white strips (this is about a third of it after I'd passed it round as there was quite a bit):

So full marks for effort to try and rectify a slightly disappointing situation, but if I went there again I don't think I'd be ordering the biriyani or tikka. My mates' dishes all seemed to hit the spot with them.

I had a bottle of Cobra too, It was flat lol:

Mr SSOAP had to fly to Glasgow and back again today. He had a really awful time and was tired and hungry so I used up the small amount of ragu remains and made four crimpets.

I love how satisfying the crimpets are.
They are so good for using up left overs that aren’t enough for even one portion of food and turns those leftovers into something that taste like a treat.
My last little bite of a ragu, cheese and honey gherkin crimpet -
