CC's cakes make me feel so inadequate. No wonder I never make cakes.

This is such an inspiring challenge; I have just been through it all once and now want to go back and try lots of the recipes that I have not noticed before. I made Chookies Rum and raisin banana cake today for DH to take to club. We don't have rum so I used a bit of Cherry brandy essence. Turned out great and the men were more than happy; these will be made often.

Made Isi's oatmeal cookies at the weekend using lightly toasted and quickly turboed rolled oats.  Very tasty and easy.

Troupie,  glad the boys liked the cake.

Yes Chookie, they appreciate it every Tuesday and its a good excuse to experiment. They are a real nice bunch of boys too, the eldest is in his 90s.

Definitely a group of boys troupie. Some of the wives call the car club that DH attends The Prostrate Shed.

ROFLMAO! Prostrate Shed or Prostate Shed either works. Too funny cookie.  Like DH's DIDHEDIE lunches .

The Prostate - What is it?
The Prostate is an organ forming part of the male reproductive system. It is located immediately below the bladder and just in front of the bowel. Its main function is to produce fluid which protects and enriches sperm. In younger men the prostate is about the size of a walnut. It is doughnut shaped as it surrounds the beginning of the urethra, the tube that conveys urine from the bladder to the penis. The nerves that control erections surround the prostate.

Well, sometimes someone can have a prostrate prostate!
Also enjoying this challenging, rediscovering all these fab recipes.

Thanks Gert. I should have used my brain. It is therefore The Prostate Shed.
