I'm Pamela from Leeds

Hi Peter

That's a good way to look at things to be honest.  I do feel at times that she is still around, like on Sunday for instance, I made the best Yorkshire Puddings I have ever made, and they were exactly like mum's!!  It's taken me 20 years to get them like that, and this was the first time I have made them since mum passed on, so I'm sure she had some influence over these because they were the best yet. Even dad said they were just like hers so who knows...  She was an absolutely fantastic cook, so I hope she passes some more of her culinary skills on to me!! 

Yup, you could be right. Maybe she was in your head telling you how to make them. I have just started making Bakestones, ( Welshcakes), And have been told by the family that they taste just like mums. So she is alive in there, trying to keep me on the right path as she always did. I hope they meant nice not horrible. LOL

I will never feel that she is gone. I cant see her, smell her or feel her, but she is with me 24/7. All i have to do is remember, and how culd I forget such a great woman. I hope you will soon feel the same about your Mum.

Oh shut up Pete, your rambling just like your mother used to, and still does in my head. Take care Pamela.

That reminds me that I need to convert your recipe, Peter, for Ruth.

Sorry, Ruth, I will get to it. I'll try today, as I'm getting around a bit more as the days go by.

No hurry Sue, whenever you get the chance. It's easy enough to convert liquids, but converting weights into measurements in cups, half cups, etc. is a bit tricky.  Especially for baked goods when a little too much or too little flour could really mess up the finished product.

But I would highly suggest you try the Welshcakes - as Lyn said, they are highly addictive.  I think they're my favorite cookie.

Thanks a million, Sue. 

Gotta run - housecleaning is calling!
