Friends for dinner

... and unfortunately Jamie's not coming to cook for us and neither is that flirty-girty Raymond either. Nevermind, something simple and not too different for the oh-so fussy but lovely Steve and Ella ~ Toad-in-the-hole** with roasted onion gravy served with mashed potatoes, broccoli and carrots. Straight to Aunty Delia for that recipe* ~ yummy for a Sunday!

But, why is it that when you want a recipe for something simple like Golden Syrup sponge pudding ... the one you bake in the oven (like my mum used to make) not the one that Delia tells you that you have to steam for 2 hours ... you can't find one anywhere? So it's Eve's Pudding without the apples but with Golden Syrup instead. But if Stephen wasn't so fussy it could have been Bill's banana butterscotch pudding instead!! That really is a recipe made in Heaven!

* frequently passed off as my own!
** guess what today's photo is going to be?!?

If you ever have Nigella Lawson round cooking for you, I am available as a kitchen slave.

Hey, thanks for stopping by my blog, and for finding a link with a "Plant a potato..." reference! I'd tried and came up blank!

Oooh, Golden Syrup Pudding!

I was a GS addict as a kid. My fav? Golden Syrup and Whipped Cream on fresh white bread. Oh yeah.

And (doing the all-in-one-comment here, as dialup is at snail's pace tonight) that is such awesome news about your Dad, Jo! :)
