You're making me jealous! I use a very basic hand mixer but it does the job. Thinking of making a bara brith this weekend but I'll end up eating it all. It's the same with scones. Maybe if I go an extra long walk... who am I kidding - I'd need to do west highland way again if I start on the baking I'm afraid. I daren't get Mr Hollywood's book - I'd get nothing done at all!! Obelixx- you ARE very naughty!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I also have dyslexic fingers. Sorry about all the typos.
While OH is out I shall pot on my tomato and chilli seedlings in the kitchen where it's warmer than the garage. I can soak and clean pots while I'm at it.
I have a cranberry and pistachio chocolate brownie cake in the oven for tonight's dance club committee meeting. I've told OH I need a Kenwood or a Kitchen Aid soonest. At the mo I have to make do with a hand held mixer and a food processor, depending on what I'm making.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Mmm cake sounds nice , I made an olive oil choc cake other day, rich so rather indulgent I have a mixer but not a fancy one , does the job and does take to work out of the arm rather than the hand mixer , had dough hooks too and worked for my bread .... Trouble is eating everything
You will not look back! I inherited Bloke's mother's Kenwood last summer, don't do too much fancy baking, but now make all my own bread, and it's just....fab!
OH's mum had a 25yr old Kenwood that needed fixing so I wasn't allowed it when she died. I live in hope of a proper jobby in the sales one day.
The recipe is here if anyone wants it - http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/1879/cranberrypistachio-brownies I fold in th epistachios rather than messing about with layering and i've done it with frozen (thawed) morello cherries when I couldn't get fresh cranberries. There's a cracking recipe for chocolate raspberry brownies on that site too and not to heavy on the calories.

Hope niece appreciates it.

Right now calories sound good.
Well I have an embarrassing confession to make.
