Just enjoying making my own bread/rolls Kaylz after LIDL ditched the protein rolls.
 
Just caught up on this thread & you all had me roaring with laughter! :D @Vince_UK , you've got hidden talents!

I used to love baking with my favourite nephew: favourite because he was the ONLY baby that didn't cry when we were first introduced at the old HK airport at Kowloon. I was in my teens then & too EXCESSIVE for babies: loud, impatient, rough & SCARY!!! Every baby I came into contact with cried except for him & we've been mates ever since! He & my sister, one in the hospice, used to live here for a few years before moving back to Burnley to be with his dad! That was a good 20 years ago.

My nephew was in secondary school then & we did a lot of baking together: favourites being the two fat ladies recipes! My nephew thought they were SO cool travelling in their motorbike & sidecar! But, they were really indulgent, BAD/GOOD recipes & they never did anything by halves! Of course, I wasn't diabetic then! After they moved I stopped baking & haven't done it in years! The last time I baked, too many years ago to remember but, was diabetic by then, I tried adding less sugar to a shortbread recipe & ended up with harder biscuits that didn't keep!

My youngest brother was also a keen baker in school but, bless him, he was more known for his disasters: a chocolate ring birthday cake because the middle fell out due to being too soggy & raw! I was always a good baker throughout school & always sold my bakes each week to another girl in my class who never baked anything successfully: 50p per 0.5 batch of biscuits as I wanted some too!

Who knows, maybe I'll start baking again too?
 
Found these in ALDI today
Not exactly baking but very interesting.

I’m definitely going to have a go and make the lidl recipe for the rolls as there is an ingredient list online. It’ll take some practice

Bought almonds from Lidl and was going to grind them, but still have their skins. Will they work for cheese scones do you think

Well less to be honest as its less than 0.5 haha xx

Kaylz...6 x 0.5 equals 3...I checked this on my calculator...on the internet...I've even had Price Waterhouse Cooper confirm that mathematical equation is indeed correct😉😉😉.
 
Interesting about the sausages. I used to buy these ones from Aldi, but there carb content went up to around 3g per sausage, so went to Lidl or Tesco instead. Looks like they are now lower than they have ever been.
