Ready made pastry.

Witzend

THAT is soooo funny...
(( SORRY, I DIDNT SAY IT WAS FUNNY TO UPSET YOU x ))

So fussy, so particular and she ate something that to her would cause 'death'. Hahahahaha..

We had formerly been in the habit of taking her out to lunch, but it was invariably a litany of, ‘Too hot, too cold, too tough, too sloppy, they don’t know how to make pastry any more,’ you name it... !

Witzend your dh's aunt could be my mother ? ?

I use ready made pastry when I bake for GD as she cannot have dairy. It's very good, even the puff pastry, which we used to make little apple pies yesterday. Result!

Ooooo could i have the recipe for the little apple pies please readsalot.

When i have my youngest GD, we either sew or bake/cook, the little apple pies sound great.

I do make my own shortcrust pastry (thank you Miss Mines, cookery teacher from 58-62) but never puff pastry, the ready-made is so good. I have a fondness for Fray Bentos pies but sadly this is not shared by DH so it's a not-very-often indulgence.

Although I've tried hard over the years I cannot make Yorkshire puddings but my Aunt Bessie's are just brilliant.

Just for the record, I iron all our bedding - that feeling of getting into a smooth uncreased bed is so luxurious. And again just for the record, yes I do have a life...

I don't even use the ready-rolled pastry, M&S make very good pies.

I hope M&S do good pies as I am planning on having a 'Chicken, Ham and Leek Pie' on Sunday and we have never had a M&S pie before (that I can remember)
