It is delicious. I do find that any cake made with oil needs to cool completely before being removed from the tin, otherwise its moist squidgy gorgeousness makes it collapse.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10600329429654831610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-26081663866808903572013-07-10T17:56:54.937+01:002013-07-10T17:56:54.937+01:00Good luck with the chicken and car bits.

Though I think Cheddar will work better than the Shedder (though I enjoyed using it and might have another go later). <br /><br />A chicken in a little protective suit is otherwise known as a tortoise, Rog.

Getting two reluctant dogs in the car meant we resorted to treats. Now at least Holly will jump in comparatively willingly, we lift Lily because of her little legs and long back. Good luck - especially with the chicken situation. That is a harder problem to solve I suspect.Paff Rinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-14965819118291004992013-07-09T17:28:24.204+01:002013-07-09T17:28:24.204+01:00The halti stops him pulling, but I think it would ...The halti stops him pulling, but I think it would still take two of us to load him - for one thing, he doesn't want to jump up and for another, someone would have to hold him while I go round the other side of the car to pull. Or maybe I could get in first and then pull.<br /><br />I'll try tempting him in with biscuits. The trick will be getting him to want to get in himself.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-77236270993842192812013-07-09T16:04:04.730+01:002013-07-09T16:04:04.730+01:00Ben needs a dog harness.
