Isi´s easy Portuguese Rolls

[achookwoman]

JD,  I really feel for you,  this often happens to me when I also put too many things in the draw. ,  I suppose you have tried shaking the draw really hard and for a long time ?.    Don't give up on the bread,  just make rolls and split them with a steak knife.(unless these are also in the draw!!!)

Thanks Julie & Chookie, yes have tried both suggestions.  The drawer, unfortunately, is the top one and when we took the second drawer out, could not get my hand up behind it.  I shake it everytime I walk past it Chookie - more in frustration than hope   No, my steak knives are in the smaller, everyday cutlery drawer so yes, rolls it must be. When I think about what else is in the stubborn drawer, it occurred to me that I very rarely use my wooden spoons these days because our clever TMX stirs itself. I have the guys here today doing the renovation of the side area of the house so I might even ask one of them to have a look at it later. My raised garden bed was delivered yesterday and can't wait to get that set up in this new area and do some planting.  Laying awake from 4am worrying about the drawer.

Sorry to hear JD -wish I could drop over and have a look for you.  I know what it's like too - tooooooo many things in the drawer and then something moves !!!!!!  Bugger

That would have been nice Thermomixer, thank you.

Good luck Judy, I hope you get it sorted soon.

I envy you your raised garden bed.   Is it one of those oval iron ones?,  I believe they are fab. Mine is large and informal (another name for messy!)  A friend came yesterday,  I fed her TMX food and she helped me weed.

Oh damn Judy. That happens to me with place mats that are not put in the drawer correctly. Keep giving it a big jiggle every time you walk past it, actually a big bump. So far that has been successful for me. It has taken me a couple of days but the angrier I get the more I bump and eventually when I least expect it something moves.

You could say - like an Edna Walling type garden  - they are always all over the place.

If I get really angry Cookie1, I might break the b....y drawer

Chookie - yes I bought a lovely cream one and these nice men out there working at the moment are going to bring me a load of soil enriched with mushroom compost on Thursday.  Isn't it nice to find someone to do these jobs for us, work hard, never complain and at the end of it all, get paid nicely    I hope my weeding days in 3/4 of my garden are now over with the work these guys have done lately. Then the fake lawn can go in and we will be set like a jelly.

[achookwoman]

JD,  you are one very lucky lady.!!!!

[judydawn]

I deserve it Chookie    I can't believe I said that 

[Thermomixer]

Have you been drinking again JD?    You do deserve it 

[judydawn]

    I wasn't when I wrote that Thermomixer but I did have a glass of wine in my hand when I read this and it cracked me up. Can't even have a nightcap without getting caught out.  Thank you for your kind words 

Have you been drinking again JD?    You do deserve it 

[judydawn]

Yay, the drawer finally opened this morning.  It was with your shaking method Cookie1 and I couldn't believe my eyes when it happened.  Nice start to the day followed by a phone call to tell the kitchen company they didn't need to come out.  Phew, how much did that save me?  Love spending money but not on something I can't see.  Thanks for your sympathy & helpful hints guys.
