    Is Nevada really in USA?

    Sounds like you got quite a chill down there. I will bring the frozen orange juice to serve with that breakfast.



    Hello to Paulclem from your friends here in the Lone Star Republic.
    That brot looks goot!

    Hi Gilliat. Thanks for the clip.

    I saw Blazing Saddles when it was released in England in the late 70s (?). Brilliant film. I was an older teen then, and we went to see Blazing Saddles and then Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Great memories of watching with my mates.

    [QUOTE=soundofmusic;828981]We'll roll out the red carpet and get the spare room ready...Those Austrian rolls look delicious

    They were great.

    Did you ask me in another thread about the Leofric in Coventy? It's changed hands now.

    There have been a few changes around the City Centre too. It's getting better.

    Gracious, are they triplets. You know, if they're triplets, you can't separate them...I hope you have "lots of bread"
    Aren't those roses of the short-stemmed, mixed variety though? I still think, if I were a gentleman, I would prefer the long stemmed, single-hued beauties to grace my private garden.

    I prefer my hot bread pudding served with thick cream as the conveyor.

    I don't know, I think you might need to warm those big hands up before kneading the bread I like my hot bread pudding with lots of cinnamon and whipped cream.

    Why is the corn unharvested?
    I don't think I'd let the brother-in-law go a-traveling with any of my hogs

    No they are not your garden roses, more Rosa Rugosa , a native rose known for its wild habit and large hips.

    As to the contents of my bread basket....

    I found an article, a fellow was complaining that while he was away his Rosa Rugosa had become huge and thorny

    It is with a great deal of regret that I have to report that our Empire has been victim to a massive swindle. All this talk of buns by our American friends has been a red herring. We have been conned, they were really after our confectionary industry. The great institution of Cadbury has been usurped by a sneaky hostile takeover. How can you trust a nation that would go to war over tea ? Creme eggs, Flakes, Dairy Milk, Crunchies and, God help us, Chocolate fingers are now the property of Corporate America. Wait until I get my hands on that Gilliatt, business trip indeed !

    Can I do that? Borrow a couple of billion, take over a company then pass the debt on to that company. While I enjoy my pork scratchings from a silver salver.

    No, it can't be. The Americans are trying to save the 100+ year old company from ruin...We're helping people again, right Unfortunately, we're changing your chocolate recipe; you know, the one that made us want to write a blank check

    Buy shares in Nestle immediately.

    I imagine this would be the best marketing ploy they could ever come up with.

    Going by food made by Kraft I've tried so far, most of it tastes as though it was made from emissions from a waste pipe of the Bangalore sewage plant in a factory built on the ruined Union Carbide one at Bhopal.

    The extremely wet and frozen corn in NW MN is 1/2 buried in three feet of snow. The weather here in NV crosses CA first, and sometimes originates near Hawaii (hence pineapple). Not sure about that Cadbury deal going through, once it becomes common knowledge that the majority stockholder of Kraft is the Chinese government.

    major computer problem-may be a while before I get back. Keep it going blokes

    Sorry about the corn and the computer; sounds like a mess...

    Oh, so that's what happened to Krafts recipes...Have any of you ever tasted those nasty gelatin desserts they sell in Chinese stores?

    Well, Nestle isn't so great anymore either. The days are gone when children toasted every morning to Nestles Quick rabbit and Kellogs tiger...

    I hope the other UK biscuit companies will hold out...

    Ah so thats how kraft did it. Looks like you can buy New Zealand too at the push of a button.
