You are amazeballs Lance-A-Lot. I vote for you to become a moderator And, by the way, where the hell have you been lately, hmmm?


Shirley, my other half LOVES apricots so the other day when I made the apple slice he said it was very nice but then asks 'Can it be made with apricots?"
He asks if everything can be made with apricots
He is away grading today so I thought I'd have a crack using tinned apricots and assumed they would be too soft and turn to mush when mixed. I quartered each half (that tickled my fancy, never mind, move along) and they held together ok and I have had one, no two pieces and it's very tasty.

I haven't been far away Janelle. We've been relocating my day job factory for the last 2wo weeks so hours have been a tad short.

Apricots Huh ?
Ya know, I thought the exact same thing about Shirleys slice, I luv apricots as well.
We'll grab some tomorra if we can and give it a bash.

Meanwhile, I'm gonna ring MrBolly then bolt back out to the fire.

It's the easiest thing I've ever made, 5 ingredients, two steps. No, three. Oh, bugger it, it's just easy! Try to get real apricots. Yes, I know they are all real. I mean apricots from the fruit and veg department, with stones inside. Having said that though, tinned worked fine, just be gentle when stirring.

Fire drum. Isn't there an Aussie song about a fire drum? Is it Paul Kelly? Let me just go Google the lyrics and see if I'm on the right track.

End post full of crap.

More crap
It's Rally round the Drum, co-written with Archie Roach, about a fighter in a boxing tent. I don't know what type of drum the drum that they are rallying around is but let's pretend it's a fire drum

I will have to try the apple slice with apricots, they are Bruce's favourite fruit too.

Imagine what they would be like using Greengage plums.
