I just googled Jam Roly Poly. One recipe involved "vegetable suet." Is that just shortening?
When my family took a trip to London when I was in high school, I got all excited when I saw treacle pudding on a dessert menu, because it was mentioned in Alice in Wonderland and I'd never had a chance to try it before. (That trip had all kinds of new culinary experiences. I was decidedly unimpressed with the treacle pudding, but the baked beans and mushrooms and tomato for breakfast more than made up for it. Yum. Much better way to start the day than a bowl of corn flakes.)
happy birthday Teppy! Have an awesome time at the beach!
Meara this is going to sound very mean spirited in light of all teh hot but is GILF aware of your makeOutLikeTeenagers dates? Does it run true to type for her to not want to get serious but also to come out of the woodwork when she sees you're interested in someone else?
Oh, poor Kristin and ND. Hang in there and many hugs!
HAPPY STEPH DAY!!!! Enjoy your carrot cake and ice cream!
I was decidedly unimpressed with the treacle pudding,
stares. stares some more.
...but, but...
No. I understand the individual words, and yet arranged thus they make no sense to me! For lo, it is hot stodgy sweet childhood comfort food, lurking beneath a blanket of custard...ah. Right. Okay. Apparently I have no perspective on this sort of thing, what with that whole comfort food/nostalgia malarky. Still, yay for baked beans and proper English Breakfasts!
...'kay, I've just been and wandered around the F2F thread looking for pictures and I am now Jealous Jealous Jealous. And giggling about the cries of "You changed your hair!"
Next year, as God The Cat Daniel is my witness!

Cripes! Happy Birthday, Teppy!
Happy Birthday Teppy!
ION - I can has kitteh! We think she's a girl, and we've named her Pete. I'm taking her to the vet in a couple of hours for her shots, and to do something about her fleas (she's from a farm litter). She also looks to have an infected eye. But hey! At least she's not drowned! Stupid farmers.
She's very smart - she figured out the litter tray with no help from us. She's also an explorer, and a climber.
Yay kitteh!
Awww! Kitty! I think we need pictures.
Okay, I've a very poor quality camera phone pic up on Facebook -
