Hi folks! Tonight's thread topic...*drumroll*

Guilty Pleasures!

[protest1]

That's quite a list!
I was partial to ginger snaps dipped in my coffee for a while but moved on to the bourbon creams.

[protest1]

Very sorry to hear that. It will be more difficult when it is someone so young. I will say a prayer for the family.

Yellow cake with cinnamon swirl...yum!

I am not really a tea connoisseur there are many more on FR that are more knowledgeable than me.

I am purely pour boiling (must be boiling not water that has boiled) over tea bag in mug let to brew to required strength and add milk.

I use cheap supermarket teabags - very cheap. If I am going to have a treat then I might use Tetley teabags not sure if you can get those in the States. PG is another one that is very popular in Britain.

If you like China tea a slight more acquired taste then I would suggest trying Earl Grey - not a flavour I like at all but those who are into specialty teas like it.

Loose tea which I have used on and off though the years is more expensive in Britain nowadays because it is less popular than teabags (people have got lazy).

Normal rule is one spoonful of tea or teabag per person. Use a fairly large teapot so it circulates and again always pour boiling water over the tea not water that has boiled. Leave for about 5 minutes you may need to experiment on time and amount of water as each brand is slightly different. A good make of loose tea is Jacksons you probably would find that in an international shop.

I am not into putting lemon in tea not my cup of tea at all just milk no sugar. If using tea bags add milk after taking the tea bag out - do not put milk into the cup first as this will cool the water and tea must have boiling water.

If you brewing tea in a teapot then add milk to cup before pouring tea in which is the correct way LOL but you cannot do that with tea bags unless of course you make the tea with teabags in the pot.

Still haven't left yet(7 was the time).. but spiffied up & ready to go ...

(and they say women are always late) HAR

"they" being those w/Y chromosome.

That is just a few of my favourites we have so many I also love Cadbury's chocolate fingers, each grocery shop seemed to have them on offer this Christmas.

I bought a few packets some single and some double packs they will last well into the middle of year - see what I mean about being a hoarder. I do this every Christmas when food and other things are on special offer especially items you can only get at Christmas. We always have large tins of sweets (candies) at Chritsmas and they do special offers on them, they sell them again at Easter but normally without the offers so I buy enough at Christmas to have for Easter as well.

I will have to read my American cook book to see what yellow cake is I have a box of white cake mix sent to me by a freeper but still not 100 per cent sure of what white and yellow is I assume white is made with egg white only and yellow is made with whole egg.

Am I right?

[snugs]

Is this the lad you spoke of before mum Jenny? Last I knew you were not sure what had happened to him. Sorry to hear after surgeries etc he still died so young. Hope all goes as well as can be expected.

[RockinRight]

Aww, I'm so sorry, Dolly.

[RockinRight]

[Theresawithanh]

Oh, Dolly, so sorry to hear that. Prayers for your friend.

[RockinRight]

This is interesting:

Doro is a female German rock/metal singer. She was with Warlock in the 80s and more recently a soloist. This was a year or two ago, she did a remake of "White Wedding" by Billy Idol in the link above.

[Theresawithanh]

Is the figurine in your post a phone? Only asking because it looks like a phone cord attached!

They do sell Tetley tea here, my sister likes to drink it. Not sure if it's the exact same as yours, though.

[MountainFlower]

Prayers going up for comfort and a peace that only God can give.

[protest1]

I bought a tin of Cadbury's Roses as a present, I got them reduced and that was before Christmas!

I am off to bed now, as it is rather late. You are in the UK aren't you so it will be late for you as well?

night , night :)

[Kate of Spice Island]

That's about right. I used boxed mix and could tell by looking that the cake was yellow cake and then the cinnamon swirl stuff was in a separate package.

[darkangel82]

I like Doro's stuff, both solo and with Warlock, never knew she covered that song though.

[RockinRight]

I've discovered her fairly recently, but it's all good stuff.

[SuzyQue]

She does a great job. No Billy Idol, but pretty good.
