I know Rye Crispbread but not sure if I have had the yeast bread.

Thanks for the BigSky update. Wow, Denmark. That's a long flight.

It wasn't too bad really. Especially the Minneapolis to Amsterdam leg of the trip. We had a 7.5 hour flight and we could pass the time with movies, music or games with a little controller in our arm rests and a little monitor right in front of us. Watched the new Pirates Of The Caribbean and then switched over to a map where we could follow the airplane we were in and had some music to entertain me while I watched our plane fly it's assigned route. Pretty neat stuff! :)

I quickly got over my jet lag. It was difficult to realize it was 9:00a.m. here when we arrived. The old brainbox was still thinking it was 1:00a.m. (back home). A day of rest and relaxation the first day here helped!

Sorry to be so tardy in replying snugs, my time on FR has been very limited the last few days [thank goodness, I needed a rest from the battlefield on the main board]

I'm up to my eyes in preparing English goodies for a squadron party at the beginning of the week. There's cookies galore and I just finished wrapping the last coconut ice bar in plastic wrap. [500 in all, would have been a few more but we had to sample a few to make sure they were just right :)] Tomorrow will be sausage roll day [probably more sampling....yummy!]

Your right about my screen name, I was born and raised in Oxford but my family in the U.K. now live on the I.O.W. After my husband was forced to take a medical retirement from the AF, we settled in the California High Desert away from the hustle bustle of the big city. Thankyou for the welcome btw to Sanity Island.

I love coconut ice do you colour half of it pink?

At last someone who knows what a real sausage roll is and mince pies of course.

Do you also make the traditional British Christmas cake - did you see mine all iced

We had our firm's do on Friday and one of my favourite Christmas treats - Christmas Pudding.
