Anniebach. It was expected Aspen

Let the children play……grin

Aspen

Once again those who don't like the way the comments are going change the direction to Simnel cake. Could you please go over to Chat instead of high jacking this subject.

To be honest though there had been so many deleted comments and everything had been said so it wasn’t big deal to go off at a lighthearted tangent.

Will there be an election ? For thread/head prefect of GN ?

Me! Me Miss! I'll do it!!!

I'll expect Maddyone's simnel cake in return though....

And some marzipan to send to Lucca.

maddyone Sun 17-Apr-22 00:53:57

You can make your own almond paste Callistemon. I used to do that, but I can’t be bothered nowadays.
Anyway the simnal cake will be deleted tomorrow. By Mr M. Well pretty much anyway, there might be a bit left on Monday to send to volver and Meghan.

Maybe not but you could tear it into squares while you are suspended..

Callistemon21 Sat 16-Apr-22 22:40:32

Does the Daily Mail have a recipe for Simnel cake?
Do you have a link,*Ladyleftfieldloover*?

Ps I don't have any marzipan but I do have a large bag of almonds - can I make my own?

Ladyleftfieldlover Sat 16-Apr-22 22:35:55

This thread has turned a bit Daily Mail! I certainly won’t be adding any more to it.

Callistemon21 Sat 16-Apr-22 22:33:24

Marzipan is the worst.
I know it sounds nuts but it's full of fat and sugar!!

The cake might just be ok as it's full of dried fruit which can help keep you regular ?
Eating a whole cake keeps you suspended on the loo for hours.

Simnel cake has been deleted as eating it is against WW guidelines.

What? Even just the marzipan? Or does that just get deleted? If you eat the whole cake do you get suspended ?

There’s childish and there is childish ….

Oh it is Gransnet? I was a bit confused I thought I had accidentally arrived on Childsnet,

Shall I send a slice to Meghan? Do you think she’d want it?

I think you should ask some of the other posters here maddyone. They seem to know exactly what Meghan is thinking and what her motives are, so they'd be bound to know if she'd like some simnel cake. wink

As well as normal meals today I have eaten a mini magnum a croissant two pieces of chocolate and a packet of overpriced crisps. I have made a right royal Pig of self. But no simnel cake …anything marzipan based gets my vote though !

JaneJudge Sat 16-Apr-22 18:55:36

are we supposed to answer each subsequent post spitefully?
Yes, as long as her yellow bellied husband didn't eat any, the traitor wink
