OK I want to be Number 9023, can I have my Prize Now ? Its My Birthday !

Its Great to have you back Brother (Sushi) ! Remember what I told you, I Mean it

 

[Snoop Puss]

I'm not doling out prizes but I have been making lemon sponge gateau. So here, rather fortuitously, is a birthday cake Maidrite. No candles I'm afraid but it is pretty tasty. Happy birthday.

 

[Maidrite]

Yummy very tasty Thank You very much !

 

[middie]

Happy Birthday Maidrite !!!! I made an ambrosian cake if you would like some.

 

[Snoop Puss]

Ambrosian cake - that's a new one on me. Does it contain a secret ingredient that gives you eternal youth? If so, I could do with some of that too!

 

[middie]

Omg you've never had ambrosian cake ?? It's a yellow cake with mandarin oranges in it. The frosting is made with vanilla jello and pineapples.

 

[Snoop Puss]

Nope never had that. Never heard of vanilla jello either - is that the secret ingredient? I'll do a search for a recipe. If I can't find one, could you post it? My dad loves anything with mandarin segments in and I bet he'd love this.


Edited: Have found the recipe for "Pig Pickin' Cake TNT". Not a promising name! Ambrosian cake sounds far more appealing. Unfortunately there are three ingredients that I think will be difficult to find here in Spain unless I can find some substitutes. Yellow cake mix? Is that just an ordinary Victoria-type sponge? Frozen whipped topping - is that cream? And instant vanilla pudding - is that like an instant mousse?

Oh what a wonderful place here. Everyone seems hooked on coffee. I hope i'm not too picky here but might I be able to get a french press of light city columbian grown coffee? Shade grown if we could.

 

[Snoop Puss]

Your wish is my command. Et voilà.

 

[middie]

Snoop that's what I meant was vanilla pudding mix. Brand name of it here is Jello. D'Oh ! Yes you can use a frozen whipped topping. Mix it with the pudding. Sponge cake I'm sure that'll work just fine too.

*walking in and dusting off coffee maker* ...... (cough)
HEY!!!!! We have about 100 tomatoes to harvest from the back AND someone planted pumpkins.
Plus..... its FREEZING in here. Who has a match to light the heaters?

 

[Snoop Puss]

Hello Sushi. Here, I've got some matches. I have no idea how the heaters work. If you deal with them, I'll make some coffee. If you like, I'll help you picking the tomatoes.

 

[-DEADLY SUSHI-]

Howdy Snoop Puss! Thanks for the matches.

Now where is that furnace?

 

[Snoop Puss]

If you need to go down into the cellar - I presume there's a cellar - here's a torch. Otherwise, here's a coffee to warm up first and a piece of Irish tea loaf I made earlier.

 

[Half Baked]

I'm dying to try the Irish Tea Loaf! Thank you. I'm starting to get a little fatigued what with all this cooking and cleaning and need a little pick me up.

I'll go help in the garden as soon as I have my cake and tea.

How is everyone this glorious Saturday afternoon?
*putting my feet up on the bench*

 

[Snoop Puss]

Enjoy the cake. Here's a cup of tea. I'll leave the pot on the table next to you with a jug of milk and some sugar. Help yourself. Have a nap in the sun if you want one. Sounds like you could do with it.

 

[middie]

Half don't worry about it. I got the garden done.

 

[Half Baked]

It'll be so nice to relax in the hot tub tomorrow after everyone working so hard today.

Can I get anyone a beverage or cocktail? I've made some hummus, dolmades and spanokapita. Hmmm, perhaps we should drink some Retsina.

 

[Snoop Puss]

Here's some Retsina. Long time since I've drunk that. While rummaging around in the wine fridge, I also came across this. It's Spanish, not Greek, but very good. Gewurtztraminer from Enate in the Somontano Valley. If it's like the last bottle I had (not on my own, I hasten to add), it should go very well with your Greek dishes. I'll open both if that's OK with you.

Middie, what were the tomatoes like? I fancy a tomato and black olive salad with some feta on top.
