On my last trip to the shop in Llandeilo I had Eton Mess and she scraped out the container.

They have a table for donated books just inside the door, 4 for £1. Every now and then they have a bag and book sale, a few of us make simple tote bags up from CS curtains and they are sold for £1. It is amazing how many people come just to buy the bags, most stop and buy a book or two as well.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406981075860636289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-34496031014667872972016-07-04T12:16:40.047+01:002016-07-04T12:16:40.047+01:00I looked at some a while ago, mine have arrived an...I looked at some a while ago, mine have arrived and I hope to try them out later today.

Put the eggs into the flour and add half the liquid, beat like crazy with a balloon whisk, then whisk in the rest of the liquid till it reaches the right consistency. That amount makes 3 giant Yorkies in 8" tins.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406981075860636289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-76919585754867623782016-07-04T12:09:28.152+01:002016-07-04T12:09:28.152+01:00I will have a look for it, the only ones that I sa...I will have a look for it, the only ones that I saw on my first look were battery only.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406981075860636289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-71695823191050785222016-07-04T12:07:46.955+01:002016-07-04T12:07:46.955+01:00I am knitting these socks flat on 2 needles, they ...I am knitting these socks flat on 2 needles, they are so easy and I am quite hooked.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406981075860636289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-11910643561006950482016-07-04T12:06:36.016+01:002016-07-04T12:06:36.016+01:00When I can not decide what I want for dinner a Yor...When I can not decide what I want for dinner a Yorkie full of something is top of my go to list.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18406981075860636289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-42482716323793932012016-07-03T20:45:44.059+01:002016-07-03T20:45:44.059+01:00That is one HECK of a Yorkshire!

My goodness, it nearly deserves a plughole for the gravy!<br /><br />If you like icecream, you will have to try the new place in Carmarthen (down the bottom of Jackson's Cut, which is off King Street). Tam bought me an icecream today - we decided to go for two flavours. My goodness, he PILED it high and there must have been enough icecream to fill a Ben and Jerry's carton. It was all we could do to finish it - and LOVELY ice cream it was too.<br /><br />Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-51095728459342094362016-07-02T08:45:45.526+01:002016-07-02T08:45:45.526+01:00Wow that yorkshire is a whopper.

But from what I've heard of them they were just as much headache to operate - flip this lever, move this button, wind the thread this way not that.... Probably needed to read the book every time you wound it. And the bobbins were weird and a specialty item, not available in all stores. Also expensive - I had to order some for a customer a year or so ago. I just use a neutral thread in the bobbin, and wind a dozen at once.Patty@inStitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18008067462064666901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-24301495723920165572016-07-01T20:53:16.886+01:002016-07-01T20:53:16.886+01:00Wow, that is a big Yorkshire, ours never turn out ...Wow, that is a big Yorkshire, ours never turn out that big, you'll have to share your recipe/technique.
