§§§Mary introduction/waffle§§§
It was 10th October when the first child came round begging - sorry, I mean 'trick or treating'. Following this I locked the door, and kept it locked (except of course when leaving and entering the house) until it was all over. Since our friends all live in other towns (and would phone before coming round), it's not necessary for us to open the door - it's only ever Jehovah's Witnesses, children wanting my money, or ... ...year for hosing down our wheelie bin).
As a child my friends talked of trick or treating. As a child I begged my parents to be allowed to go too, to which they replied "it's begging, of course you're not allowed to". Of course at the time I thought they were just trying to spoil my fun as parents do. Just like when they wouldn't let me get my ears pierced until I was 14 (I pestered them non-stop for 4 years). I got the last laugh from that ending ...

Bread and Butter Pudding
Another one of my childhood favourites. My mother would quite happily leave me to make this dish on my own as a child!
This pudding is so very easy to make and can be eaten hot or cold, with custard or on its own. I enjoy it on its own! It's very filling and fattening but lovely!
I don't actually know the history of this dish but it is excellent for finishing off a loaf of bread that might otherwise be wasted.
*Suitable ... ...recommended for people who avoid dairy or eggs.
Also, if you have a nut allergy you can leave out almonds if you choose to make the luxury version!
#You will need
Butter Knife, Bread board,
A whisk, a measuring jug, a teaspoon (sprinkle the sugar),
A Pyrex or oven proof dish (preferably without a lid)
Or if you want smaller, individual portions use small dishes. I find Soufle' dishes are excellent for individual portions.

Not my usual style of review this, so if I make a complete lash of it, please forgive! If the above title means nothing to you, and as this is a Polish recipe why should it, then what you are about to bake here is a plum crumble pie.
It is many years since I last read a recipe book of any sort! Writing one, having attempted to put this one recipe onto Word is obviously way beyond my capabilities! My wife, however tells me that this is so easy to ... ...is dedicated to jo145, who suggested my publishing it last Sunday, following my casual remark that Adrianna's mother had given her a "plum cake" recipe over the phone only that morning.
So for Jo and anyone else interested in trying it, whilst plums are in season here you are.
In my best Fanny Craddock typing here goes:

How to make NICE Brownies
As you would know from my over review, I do like to cook a bit (only desserts though).
And things with chocolate are always nice.
I first used this recipe a number of years ago, there must have been some occasion and I found the recipe in one of our recipe books. My friends mum also used to make lovely brownies.
So after having looked at the recipe. I noticed it was really simple. And I have actually memorised it.
All you will need is:
100g Chocolate
100g Butter
50g Self Raising flour
225g Sugar (granulated)
2 Eggs
tiny bit of salt
(Optional Walnuts)
And try using healthier things like...
Higher percentage chocolate
Margarine (or unsalted butter)
Organic Eggs
Brown Sugar
etc.
And a great thing that I always do is put a banana at the edge, taste's delicous ...

The Italian Country Table: Home Cooking from Italy's Farmhouse Kitchens is the product of author Lynne Rossetto Kasper's five-plus years living and traveling in Italy.
