could well have been the flour , as it was loose stuff from st lawrence market. I have robin hood stuff now ( any idea why robin hood?) if they don't work next time I'll just have to blame Rob!!

Remember to bash the bu***r to death before you put him in the oven.! have a few sniffters before you start cooking, that'll help.......

Since I was being silly about batty's recipe earlier, I googled "silly recipes" to find witty repartee to that... this what I found:

Lick Me Silly Cocktail

1/2 oz vodka
1/2 oz gin
1/2 oz melon liqueur
1/2 oz Blue Curacao liqueur
1/2 oz Cointreau® orange liqueur

Place all ingredents into a shaker, shake away....Pour into a glass of your choice, fill a 1/4 full, then top up with a little ice and lemonade. Serve with a straw and drink away.... this drink gets you blind drunk, trust me I know.

Beats a sniffter (sic) every time.

so how do you spell snifter? sniffter?? sniphta? maybe it's not even a sniffing thing at all??

so what does that drink taste like and what colour is it??

One of my favourite drinkies is a white lady, gin, cointreau and lemon syrupy stuff with crushed ice. Wonderful, warms your ears from the inside out.

"More than 90 years after it started business as a small mill in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Robin Hood has grown to become Canada's leading flour producer. Today its familiar red-and-green archer logo is synonymous with quality and reliability -- and a commitment to great baking"

Mine of useless Saskatchewan information me.

I never knew Robin Hood went to the Prairies.

Which just goes to prove one can't know everything.

Ah, but today I know more than I knew yesterday. So it was worth getting up.

Robin Hood and the greensward. What colours would be have worn to blend into the Prairies?

white

It is always worth getting up.

It's just that some days are much better than others.
Similar colours to the camouflage being worn currently in Iraq and Afghanistan I would guess, at least in late summer and fall.

Spring and early summer the green would work and in winter white like the snowy owl.
