Hot Cross Buns

Don't laugh signman, Woollies sell a dark fruit cake which is the best fruit cake I have ever tasted! Not the square off-cuts like Big Sister and such but their own brand, a round one in a clear plastic container. At Xmas they just put white icing on it and call it Xmas cake. I always keep (weeks) some on hand for emergency's and have had people who don't like fruit cake change their minds after tasting it. It sure beats anything my old Irish grandmother used to make.

Robin, if you go to the supermarket early in the morning, you will find plenty of everything in the bakery dep't, the best stuff is usually gone by mid-day. If not ask the bakery supervisor what days they 'bake' or get delivered.

Thats good point OzeSheila - I have since been told that some Bakers delights will do them for you based on a minimum quantity. This may work as we normally get some and freeze them. As most of our trips are overnight then they can be packed outside fridge and left to thaw out till needed.

Hi Steve

I'm currently just designing a state wide heavy industry communications
and control system - so that recipe is to complex for me - but I will pass
it on to my wife.

Thanks

I know where you live - well I wish I did anyway !

I only understand electronics parts lists Hairy !

Sounds like the beer I emailed someone recently - recipient complained it was flat

Robin Miller

I did I did - check several and found one with a packet left , which will give me a breathing space to work out next move !

Now that sounds like it has possibilities Chef

Sounds good Noel , but I'm generally out of my depth when doing much more than heating frozen ones in the Microwave - I mentioned recipes to my wife , and she started talking about that new vegie patch I was going to do before the last trip !
