bev00 - 2007-04-15 21:38:00

COME ON LEMSIP..... Really there is more to life than not enjoying it and only eating bird food....There is a thing called balance and having butter, sugar and white flour in moderation never killed anyone, and if someone chooses to bake a lot, well so what...they probably have a large family, give some away etc.... I love my bird seed too, but I also enjoy white flour, sugar and butter.

bean21 - 2007-04-16 08:13:00

THE MESSAGE ABOVE IS IN RELATION TO Thread #6..

bean21 - 2007-04-16 08:15:00

I agree - everything in moderation!! School/Uni hols - I've just made Weetbix Slice, Cornflake & Raisin Biscuits, Unbaked Lemon Slice and Blueberry Muffins. Phew....probably won't bake anything else in months now after that marathon effort!!!!
