M-Mouse's Droppings

[m-mouse]

Yawn, feeling a little bit too dopey to work What I really fancy is trifle, which I could concoct from dukan stuff but I don't think I can be arsed. Maybe I will make some of those custards later.

 

[LVLLM]

Lol its too much hard work isnt it. im going to have some babybel in a min

 

[m-mouse]

I'm going to have....I don't know. I will get some skimmed milk from the shop later and make some muffins so I can have trifle tomorrow!

 

[LVLLM]

have a glass of milk. fills me up. i miss that LOL

 

[m-mouse]

It's funny but I don't like milk - couldn't drink a glass - in fact custard is the only milky thing I like really! Just as well I suppose - one less thing to resist!

 

[LVLLM]

ah really? I love milk. how do you make the custard?

 

[m-mouse]

I've not done a dukan one but I was just going to follow a recipe for egg custard and put in splenda instead of sugar.

[LVLLM]

what bout double cream? from frais?

 

[m-mouse]

I will just use all milk - the cream would just add a bit of richness. For the cream on my trifle I will have 0% greek yog + splenda.

 

[LVLLM]

yum yum. what biscuit do you use for trifle?

 

[m-mouse]

I'm going to make some dukan muffins and then pour some sf jelly over the top - like my Mum's old trifle! I may add a little bumbarb too! <sorry>

 

[LVLLM]

bleurgh, lol sorry been sick on my keyboard LOL

Best put a desktop Henry on your Xmas list! Didn't your Mum ever add jelly to the sponge in her trifle when you were a kid?

 

[Maintainer]

I used to love trifle as a kid... but then, when I grew up(?), sherry was put in it. I despise alcohol soaked trifle sponges pffft! (Always jelly yes... no fruit though... don't like having to chew trifle. It's wrong (as Vicky would say)!

 

[LVLLM]

yes jelly is fine not bumbarb,
my nana made the best trifle and its now a frim favourite at family parties, there is alway two made - a normal one and the 'norminton' one which is always seeped in brandy mmmmmmmmmmm and no to fruit or hundreds and thousands

 

[alottolose]

flaked toasted almonds?

 

[LVLLM]

yes please sarah

 

[alottolose]

mmm scrummy ....x

 

[Maintainer]

How posh to have two trifles, Vick... my Mum used to make just the one, and mark out a section for me without the alcohol contaminated trifle sponges! I too will graciously accept flaked almonds on the top, oh and double cream if you've any going... ooooh!

Trifle - the worst invention pudding-wise. My Dad loved it! And no jelly - must be English trifle that has jelly in it.

Thinking of doing a jelly in a Christmas mould for the kids. Actually, jelly is the second worst pudding invention.

Pass the cheese...
