Yesterday I congratulated Arthur on posting 1000 times and promised him a cake later in the day. I can't find where I promised it so Arthur, I hope you're looking here.

It is a custard-filled teacake and very delicious, best served with a large dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy. We did, last night. ;D

Carol, about the only thing that upsets my tum are green capsicums ( not sure if you call them capsicums or peppers over there), green chillies don't bother me at all.
You can make burritos with pulled pork and use as little chilli as you like, but lots of cumin and other spices and yummmm.

Ummmmmm Lesley, you forgot the recipe!! ;)

Tony, does your mind sometimes stray from crocuses? I'll PM you too, with Helen and MAggi. Still to write it out in a Word doc. Probably later today.
