Alis girls Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Last year i made jam from our raspberries and used pectin sugar - the result is quite well set but delish. OH was trying to spread it today and moaning - he reckoned he was going to write to Tommy walsh and get it marketed as roof repairer. Ha bloomin ha. I put it in the microwave for a few seconds and it spread beautifully. Many years ago when we were not married on Christmas Day at my mums he was waxing lyrical about her Chritmas pud being used to mend pot holes. The rest of the family were sniggering as mum was stood behing him - she took it well. Sadly shes no longer alive but would have enjoyed the joke. Men - hah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lillybettybabs Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I made a broth type dish the other day, It tasted lovely but i have to say it looked like prison food and would make very good wall paper paste once cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forestchook Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I sympathise. Twice recently my brother has popped in just after I have made a lemon drizzle cake. Both times I have give him a piece to take home for him and his wife. The second time he had the cheek to say they had a complaint about the first lot because it wasn't very lemony ! He wouldn't let me take back the piece I had just given him though! I have also had the over set jam/jelly issue. Several years ago I tried making apple and blackcurrent jelly. I must have overboiled it because it turned out with the consistancy of toffee Sounds like yours turned out much better than mine since its still edible. I wish I could grow enough rasberries to make jam with . N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowberry Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I once tried to make marmalade. I did the thing where you put a spot of it onto a cold saucer, it didn't seem to set at all. I pored the marmalade into jars & gave them to my neighbours. The next day I discovered that you could have used it to set bricks instead of mortar....The other day I made bread, usually a success. However I used the weigh function on my scales as I was too lazy to find the measuring jug for water. What an disaster! I had to clean the oven out afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 OH once dropped one of my fruit loaf cakes on the floor to see if it would bounce - there is still a faint dent in the lino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinsk Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I made a sausage casserole a few weeks ago, my husband hasn't stopped telling everyone how he had to 'wash' his tea. The sauce was eye stingly mustardy, so he tipped his in a sieve and washed the sauce off leaving him with sausages, mushrooms and sweet potato. I made some hot cross buns that he declared could be sold as weapons of mass destruction, we gave them to the pigs but they were still lying around two days later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 I will tell OH he has nothing to moan about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
