Now a post on what I do best...COOK!

Er......

Found a recipe for a Lemon Custard Cake. Yums. My three most favourite things on earth. So.... will have a bash at making it. Weekend probably.
I found the recipe in one of my 'newest' recipe books, 'The Farmhouse Kitchen' a veritable heaven of olde farmer's wives receipts.... no...... I haven't made an error, receipt was a word used long times ago for what we now call recipe.....And I think it has a solid burnt timbered kind of feel to it:) What do you think?
I like it.

Well in this receipt a lemon custard is concocted, left to cool, and while its cooling one makes the cake. And a queer sounding thing it is too. More of a scone than a proper legitimate cake, you know what I mean one which springs back when prodded with a sticky digit.
Bake the first layer, cool, top with custard then top with rest of cake. I'll need an 8in loose bottomed tin I do have one, but finding it might prove fatal.
My dresser being dangerously overloaded.

Cooking. I love it.

Talking of loving it.
I'm roasting a small pork joint for tonight, will make some apple sauce of course and probably do a carrot or two too.
Pudding will be whatever I think of in the next 30 minutes!
