I caught the end of a Delia programme on something I’d recorded last night…

I was amazed at how rough she looked – have we done that already?  whistle:

Raddled is the word you are looking for ..... Raddled!

The word of the day!

Yesterday it was ardent.

Snoopy's lady related vocabulary is rather interesting (from a psychoanalytical point of view) eveilgrin:

That said, I have a great recipe for Guinness and chocolate cake, the darkest, moistest(sp?) flavoursome chocolate cake you are likely to try

Getting (vuagely) back on topic can you post that recipe. Anything which gives a chance of having Guiness in the office is always worth a punt.

8oz butter
12 oz soft brown sugar
4 eggs, beaten
4 oz cocoa powder
400ml Guinness
8 oz plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp bicarbonate of soda

Blend the butter with the sugar until smooth. Add the eggs.
Mix the cocoa powder with the Guinness, then add this to the mixture
Mix the flour, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda together then sift into the mixture and mix everything well
Pour the mixture into a well greased 10" tin and cook at 180c for 60 to 75 minutes (if the top looks as though it's catching, cover with foil for the last part)
