Miriam and KC

Isn’t that how all cricket loving households operate? We only moved in together in September. I’d assumed this was normal behaviour.

Hope she dosen’t twig that it isn’t.

Decent recipe. I particularly liked that the pinch of salt was omitted. I was at a bit of a loss about the apples, are they introduced whole or have they undergone some prior process?

PS. Prior is as close as I will ever get to cricket.

PPS. I’m not American. i’m over 50 years old and have long hair.

Can’t believe there isn’t an inhabitant of Miriam’s house defending themself on here.

My friend Katie also thought, on reading the early part of this report, that it was about my household.

Bobby K. Certianly.

350g of self raising flour
A pinch of salt
175g of chilled butter
175g caster sugar
125g of sultanas
450g of cooking apples (although i’ve used other types of apple when the local co-op hasn’t had any)
3 medium eggs

Sift flour into a bowl and rub the butter in the mixture (This is much easier if you use a food processor). Stir in sugar, apples and sultanas.

Fold in beaten eggs. It will look dry at this stage, but this is compensated by the apples. Spoon into a 20cm tin that is greased and lined.

Bake for about an hour at 180c. Let it cool for about 10 minutes before turning out onto a rack.

Given the quantity of fruit, and the relatively low level of sugar and butter, I consider this to be healthy. Well, as healthy as cakes can be.

Bloody Americans, coming over here, stealing our letters.

I live in USA now where maths = math. I had hoped the Thanksgiving pumpkin pie gave the game away.

We ceased to take genuine offence long ago. For every piece that we write, at least a quarter of our readership outright hates it.

As long as less than half of you are woefully disappointed, we’re doing our job.

Now, don’t take offence, KC.

You’ve done some very nice stuff on bats in unusual places and crated Saffers. And I did like the Words of Hayden, even if I am an Aussie.

It’s just that you’ve been a bit off recently.
