Just put the slow cooker and coffee machine on the timer for tomorrow's breakfast. Modified the cinnamon bun recipe slightly. Can't wait to wake up to that smell!

Nice write up for the watering hole the committee of the Junior Ganymede Club are known to frequent.

Translation into pleb please?

No idea what David M is on about, but I do know that the book kept by the committee of the Junior Ganymede is the source of the information whereby Bertie Wooster was able to get out of a beating at the hands of Roderick Spode by mentioning the name Eulalie.

Perhaps he's referring to I Am The Only Running Footman, the Mayfair pub that was reputedly the inspiration for the Junior Ganymede.

You have a cinnamon bun recipe for a slow cooker? Please share!

Bit late for Star Wars Day, isn't it?

Trying to work out ways I can ensure I am not being poisoned by non-lactofree milk such as when I visit my mum - we both drink similar style tea and she's very scatty and I admit to some scattiness too so may accidentally drink her tea... Other than making both with lactofree; the blue milk is an experiment of a (cheaper) alternative.

I think lactofree is on special at Sainsbury's at £1 per litre right now.
As blue food/drink would appear Wrong to me, I'd get the whole house lactofree if it were me.

Eaters of smurf icecream would disagree.

I can tolerate a blue Slush Puppie but I'm not sure about a a bowl of blue breakfast.

When I was a Penniless Student Oaf we found some food colouring in the back of the cupboard. Dark metallic green baked beans taste exactly how you would expect something that colour to taste.

Like spinach?

Mr Larrington · « **Reply #1363 on:** 18 May, 2015, 03:16:52 pm »

This ^^^^, but in a sauce of used motor oil.

My Mum has something she always says when the kids order something like a blue slushy or something similar.

Blue isn't food!

It is if you're a Clanger.

Coincidentally, our fridge is full of the stuff...

It only really gets used in tea, which comes out a relatively normal hot chocolate grey colour, rather than the usual brown. Different enough that barakta won't drink the wrong one, but not offputting.

Your coffeebot will produce better results if you remember to put the filter basket in it before adding the coffee

A thread elsewhere reminded me of this gem: Vegan Black Metal Chef.

I saw some stroopwafels in Waitrose and acquired. Jolly good show, earned a place in a basket.

Only they are not Dutch http://tregroeswaffles.co.uk/?product=tregroes-waffles-butter-toffee-waffles-n8&lang=cy

Noticed the other day that the aroma that comes out of the valve of a bag of coffee when you press on it is not all that different from fart. Context is everything.

Today, browsing the reduced section of Tesco's at lunch time, I noticed a large number of cans marked "Marley's One Drop Coffee". I had no idea what it was but I thought it worth a 50p punt to find out. If it was good, I'd be back tomorrow to buy a load more.

One sip. huh? Second sip. omg blugh!

Tastes like coffee made with sterilised milk.

Lots of sterilised milk.
The rest went down the sink at work.

Likewise a bag of salted peanuts
