Pennsylvania always was an old whore.


In other news, Wat bought some better-than-average stuff while shooping for this fiasco. Bread pickings were slim, so there was mostly Pepperidge Farms stuff remaining. Got a loaf of sandwich stuff and some "sandwich rolls" - basically hamburger buns. Them damn things good yo. Just whipped up a couple of fried egg sammiches and it's some damn good eatin'. May have to continue doing this.
My dad loves breakfast sandwiches

I jave never used corn flour maybe that is why mine werent what i wanted. Dont get me wrong it tastes good but texture was odd. Do u ever do anything to it or is that blasphemy?
Try it with cornflour but if you don’t like it leave it out. We use it here as a traditional thickening agent in sauces particularly
 
Peanut butter sandwich yogurt and banana eaten
1st bottle of water in

White Bread (even though I’m not supposed to be eat’n that anymore), one slice you put yer nut butter, the other slice mayonnaise (in my case now VeggieNaise,) slice yer Nanner, smash it all together.

INSTRUCTIONS
  • Preheat your oven to 180°c (160°c for a fan assisted oven) or Gas Mark 3 and grease a couple of baking trays with a little butter.
  • Cream together the butter & sugar in a large bowl until it becomes light & fluffy.
  • Sift in your flour & cornflour and mix to form a stiff dough. Tip the dough onto a floured worktop and gently knead until smooth.

  • Bake in your pre-heated oven for around 15-20 minutes until the edges of the shortbread are golden.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle a little sugar over each shortbread. Leave to cool on their tray for around 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
