Ah, cool.

I make Lebkuchen i.e. the German version. Got some lovely 1930s Bavarian recipes. As for shapes, usually traditional hearts & stars, or just roll into a sausage and slice on the diagonal. Otherwise, I might make Lebkuchen cats.

Mrs 73 loves Lebkuchen i've never tried making it. I often mean to just run out of time with every thing else I end up baking.

They did a good number on Portugal.

Posted about the game on the retirement thread Didn’t dare give the result.as I may get a lot of comments about spoilers Just shows what a team can do if they play a more attacking game Portugal spent the first half playing pass the ball in their own half.

Worth the time, and really, it's not that faffy. I'll PM you a good recipe when I fire up the other laptop.

Best tip is to make the dough a couple of days in advance, roll it in cling film and chuck it in the fridge. That way the flavour has time to develop. And it means you can bake in batches when you've the time.

I won't comment on the keeping qualities...

It's what I've been saying about all the latin teams in this tournament - that they can play all the pretty football they like, but against well-organized opposition, they were going to struggle.

Argentina dodged a bullet yesterday as the Dutch didn't play well. Bar the 10 mins where they needed the two goals to take it to extra time. I think they'll be beaten by Croatia.

Did a search in the baking thread as I had vague memories of posting one of my recipes on there way back when. And I did. here's the link to what I posted:

Honigleckerlei mit Punschglasur

Will still send you the other recipe tho.

So what rubbish do we have on TV tonight

 

[Reynard]

Time to feed the cats. I will feed myself at half time.

 

[Oldhippy]

Probably the same old tosh they have every other weekend I reckon. Glad I don't have a TV.

Excessive dark chocolate digestives have been consumed

 

[Reynard]

Alphabet soup consumed. Sausage rolls are in the oven.

I think the referee has mislaid his glasses.

Return trip to Surrey completed and a chance for mum to catch up in person rather than on the phone with her sister and that part of the family for the first time in many years. A good time was had by all and I managed to recognise a couple of people not having seen any of them for over 20 years.

Home in time to watch yet another predictable result and scoff a large slice of chocolate cake.
