Easy Bake

I started watching The Great British Bake Off on Netflix a few weeks ago - only eight years after it first aired!  I'm just finishing Season 3 and am really quite enjoying it, though am also realising all the baking mistakes I make: you mean you're not supposed to use warm water in pastry when making a quiche base?! 

Anyway, surprisingly enough I'm not enjoying the whole historical side to the show, and usually fast forward through all the why-a-digestive-is-called-a-digestive-and-where-why-and-how-it-came-about.  Which is funny, cos I do like a bit of history.  But maybe that's because I know there are still five seasons to get through... 

What Bake Off has also done is reignite my Kitchen Aid envy... but now it's a bright yellow envy rather than the lime green one I had in the States.  The Don will read this before my birthday rolls around, right?

But speaking of baking, thanks to Morrison's half price deals I have now remembered how much I love Mr Kiplings Bramley Apple and Bakewell tarts.  I mean why bake them yourself when you can buy 6 scrumptious tasting perfectly baked one for a quid?!

You were obviously not alone in your sentiments as they got rid of the historical bits after a few seasons. And then they switched to Channel 4! P.S. I still don't blind bake my quiche pastry (although maybe I would if the had in our oven didn't keep going off...Not so conducive to baking really!)
