    Yes, that about covers it.

    Possum's chocolate tart was very good but needed some vanilla ice cream or some crème anglaise and we had neither.   Had it with crème fraiche instead.  Still very good but maybe next time she needs to do half quantities.  Enough left for for 3 more dinners but only Sunday is diet busting day.

    One of my favourites.   I do a great deal of fossicking, one way or another, tho not in the original Oz sense of the word.  No old gold mines round here.

    I think my mum's poisoned me. We popped around to her's yesterday for coffee and cake and I haven't felt right since. Not properly ill but I don't feel like eating and just have a general sense that something isn't right. It was either her cake or I've breathed in too much Fimo fumes this weekend.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    My favourite words are "plankton" and "besmirched".  Also family words such as "skrint", an adjective for fabric, usually synthetic clothing, which feels harsh and uncomfortable, and "greep", which is any small receptacle used to park a teabag which has been used once and from which the user intends to make a second cup some time soon.  Neither of these is copyright, so if you have a use for them, feel free.

    I don't believe it. Puddings, patisserie, mousses and the like, yes. Actual cake poisoning from actual cake? Not going to happen.
