Unheard ...Elephant's Child; cherries on a cake! Unheard of at my childhood home. My dad used to make plum cake, basic butter cake batter, spread in a slice tin, sliced plums placed on top completely covering batter, sugar sprinkled over and baked. Yummy fresh and equally yummy stale and reheated with custard poured over as dessert. Mum made apple strudel, but those were the only fruits ever used in cakes.<br /><br />Jac; I don't have Go Set a Watchman yet and I'm not in any hurry for it, but I'd like to get more of R Mac Wheelers as soon as I can.<br /><br />R.H. that's how we got broken biscuits too, a variety in a brown paper bag. Always a surprise to see what was inside. It was very nice of that shop lady to be looking out for you and equally nice for the manic Hun to feed you and your mate. <br /><br />Vicki; have you read any of the Stephanie Plum novels by Janet Evanovich? Grandma is my favourite character. <br />I bake my leftovers pancakes in the oven with less flour than usually used for regular pancakes, they're more a frittata style and I've never put meat in them before.<br />The biscuit shaking wasn't me and my brother, it was a memory told to me by a neighbour. I wish I could have known them then.<br /><br />Marty Damon; I have 21 of the Stephanie Plum books, plus the 'between the numbers' ones, and a series written by her with Charlotte Hughes, Full House, Full Tilt, Full Speed, Full Blast, Full Bloom and Full Scoop. They're funny and excellent reading too.<br /><br />Barbara; Thank you; I've enjoyed developing the World Power story, but I'm at a sticking point, so this week's story is different and will eventually tie in with the Jimmy Raven one.<br />the plants will definitely thicken up, but it will take a while and I want it now! Now! Now! Now! <br /><br />whiteangel; never had a pancake??? you poor deprived child.....stop in on youe way home and I'll make you one. Or three. Butter and maple syrup topping? Or would you prefer lemon juice with a sprinkle of sugar?<br /><br />Linda; welcome to drifting. I prefer easy on the eyes backgrounds too. Some blogs are so full of colour and side bits it's hard to find the words. The header is me, a river drifting along through life.<br /><br />Author R. Mac Wheeler; :D :D Are your books at Amazon?

Amen to that.<br /><br />Wish I could've seen the look on both of your faces just before your brother shook the biscuit tin - cheeky monkeys :)Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16023748614942747415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-69487368153919617072015-07-23T20:08:09.406+09:302015-07-23T20:08:09.406+09:30When I was a boy the local grocer sold broken bisc...When I was a boy the local grocer sold broken biscuits in a paper bag. They were a variety from several tins. As a teenager on the bum me and a pal lived on them for a while until the shop woman told us in a little speech that we should be eating better. Then we found a cafe where a manic Hun gave us meals on credit, joyously and hilariously, knowing he'd never get paid.

I only added a tiny bit, it needed more.<br /><br />Andrew; ha ha, biscuits to eat with a spoon. I remember buying biscuits already broken when my kids were young. We'd go to the market and find the stall that sold loose biscuits where all the broken ones were put into a big tub and sold more cheaply. We'd buy a couple of kilos worth each fortnight.<br /><br />Merle; in our house the cream biscuits were kept for visitors, mostly though my mum made German coffee cakes or apple strudel for visitors we were expecting. The unexpected drop-ins got the biscuits. I eat a lot less biscuits now, but much more fruit.<br /><br />Joanne; is waffle mix the same as pancake mix? Waffles aren't an Australian thing, I never heard of them until American sit-coms came to our TVs. I'm not a big fan of bacon. my two youngest can eat it with anything and often do.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-42968652169676192412015-07-23T11:54:53.848+09:302015-07-23T11:54:53.848+09:30You reminded of of waffles when I was a kid.
