No Urban, I found them on the doorstep :pac:

No but really yeah, I did

Not too shabby, my lemon mousse came out absolutely DEADLY. I made them before with a strawberry mousse and attempted a raspberry mousse but the berries just tasted weird... I don't know, you expect a big punchy flavour but I didn't get it. So I made a lemon mousse and it's PERFECT

UrbanSea · 05-06-2011 02:42PM

Not too shabby???

They're like something you'd see on Ace of Cakes or something,or a French patissarie,better than anything in town. Well done.

Aw thank you loads

I think it's hard for places in town though, it's not like I'm mass producing a product which is a skill in itself! I made a dozen and I'm murdered now :pac:
Had to make 2 batches of the lemon ones as I had one dodgey lemon cupcake but no one's complaining about having to eat the remaining 11 :pac:

I just bake for friends and that, I love being in the kitchen!

magnumlady · 05-06-2011 02:51PM

Lornen they look fantastic, well done

I spent a couple of days in Westport. My son was 18 yesterday, I am now officially old.

UrbanSea · 05-06-2011 02:54PM

You can make me some Lornen :P

Congrats magnumlady hope ye had a good few days.

Lornen · 05-06-2011 02:57PM

Thanks MagnumLady

Is he your eldest yeah?

And Urban I'd love to make you some but I don't know how well kebab and quarter pounder flavoured cupcakes would turn out :pac:

UrbanSea · 05-06-2011 02:59PM

Haha not even I would want to try that :pac:

Mint Sauce · 05-06-2011 03:07PM

Was planning on topping on the farmers tan this morning. But it has not stopped raining here since before I woke up.

UrbanSea · 05-06-2011 03:11PM

It's lovely in Galway

magnumlady · 05-06-2011 04:28PM

Thanks UrbanSea we had a great time.

Yes he's the eldest Lornen.

UrbanSea · 06-06-2011 11:25AM

Is he doing the leaving cert magnumlady?

magnumlady · 06-06-2011 12:33PM

No, he has special needs. He's just started a course at the National Learning Network.

UrbanSea · 06-06-2011 01:01PM

Hope he's enjoying it.

magnumlady · 06-06-2011 04:11PM

He loves it thanks, it took long enough for him to get a place there.

Mint Sauce · 06-06-2011 09:43PM

Am beat. Just finished off the bank holiday with a big dir-ty kebab.

Great news about your young lad getting on his course Magnumlady.

UrbanSea · 07-06-2011 12:01AM

Aw yes. From where stew?

saywhatyousee · 07-06-2011 12:09AM

Urban Sea is the lad to ask here. He's a Kebab Connoisseur.

Personally The Sligo Kebab House on Castle Street is preety good, although theres atleast 5 different places that serve them varying in quality.

'Best' accross the road from it is amazing for the post club soakage, their chilli sauce will cut through anything.

UrbanSea · 07-06-2011 01:24PM

Oh Stew you're flattering me.

In my opinion:

There are a number of questions to ask yourself first.
Is it taste or size you're going for?
For example,the biggest kebab is in Sligo Kebab House on Castle St.,but,in my opinion,is the worst quality,by quite a distance.

Roberto's is the best quality kebab (they do a special of a kebab and chip for 6 euro). Good value,but wouldn't fill a baby.

My kebab of choice is from Zam Zam's. A very large kebab(not as big as Sligo Kebab House,but it's wrapped up,Sligo Kebab House must be eaten with a fork,it gets annoying).

The sauces in Zam Zam's are second to none and the kebab meat is good too. Large kebab meal for 9 quid will have you nice and full.

Hope that helps.

I've had two battered mars bars in the space of a week. My excuse was "introducing" friends to this Scottish delicacy. No more excuses now

And your still around to tell the tale. I had one a few years ago, have not had the courage to have another since.
