Trouble is there's still a packet of marzipan in the cupboard and Easter is a long way off. Did I mention the half eaten panettone? I'm no mathematician but that alone would make the mother of all bread & butter puddings with a side serving of trifle... oh dear and I promised myself a nice celery and beetroot juice :) Cid Elsie,

You have a lot to answer for. There is still a pack in the cupboard ready for use in yet another one of your excellent Apple, Cinnamon and Peacan Cakes. Meantime, I am still nashing my way through seasonal fare, all part of comfort eating, you understand. Current thought process is along the lines of the quicker I eat the stuff, the quicker I can start thinking slim again :). Hope you are well again. Elsie Cid,

Just this morning I was eyeing up a tasty breakfast muffin (packed with goodies that didn't get consumed over Christmas, like cherries, dates and pecans etc) that I'd made and then weighing up which one to go for first... oh well perhaps I'll have a juice for supper :) Since this post I can think of little else except bubble & squeak, a great dish for a cold winter's night. Cid Elsie,

We used to have Tony and Gordon :) Cid, a juicer, hey? Do you think if you put your cake in it, it might be reduced and therefore less fattening? Miles, Annie

Also known as bubble, it is one of England's finest 'food thrift' creations. I shall post a recipe/method shortly. Good luck with the marathon election campaign, I've just seen Hillary doing her emotional bit. What a pity the comedy writers are on strike, they would have had a field day with that one!

What the hell is bubble and squeak? We have hellfire and brimstone, but I bet they aren't related. We also have Hillary and Barack, but, again, I don't think they are related. But they might profit from being called Bubble and Squeak. Hi from California. What the hell is bubble and squeak? We have hellfire and brimstone, but I bet they aren’t related.

Give it a week and I should be my old self again, thanks. Miles Cid,

I should do a post on that for my American readers, I don't think they have that in the States-am I wrong? Miles Elsie,

My latest craze has to be a juicer, borrowed mind you, not sure there's enough room left in my kitchen for more gadgets! For the time being however it is supplying me with fresh fruit and veg in a glass .... and looking at the state of me since the festive cake binge, it's long over due :) Are you feeling fully fit yet Miles? Cid Elsie and Miles,

They taste good in various ways, finishing off with bubble and squeak. Cheap, filling food and excellent for your health. Childhood memories are flooding back :) Elsie Miles,
