Sunday Lunch was yummy, well the first course was, the pudding however, rhubarb and almond sponge cooked in Slow Cooker was horrible. Me thinks I slo-cooked it too long hence the overbakedness of the sponge. I WAS LIVID!
If there's one thing which makes my blood boil it's lack lustre food, and the sponge was certainly that. I managed through my tears to scoop out the soft centre so affording the Birthday Boy a little 'afters'. He, being his usual magnanimous self, applauded the titchy dome of sponge and spoonful of cream. Ok I thought as I packed the Slow Cooker away, it'll be a while before I use YOU again. Little Beast.

Anyway after falling asleep due to stress, lack of sleep etc I baked a fabulous seeded loaf and banana and apricot cake. So..............Not all was disastrous in my culinary world.

I've been watching C-Span catching up on what's going on stateside with the elections and all that. Am I getting on a bit or did vice president in waiting Paul Ryan sound and look like all other vice presidents in waiting. The same splurge, the same suit, the same harking back to golden olden days when his Mother, after the death of her husband, rode the bus 40 miles there and 40 miles back to get an education...
I like politics both here and over the sea but it all seems samey now..... sob stories and kids and getting our country back.
And what a difference Mighty Mitt and Perfect Paul would make to America and the World. Mostly America.
