That's a pretty good description of why I packed it in very early in a lesson years ago. It was an odd feeling of being attached to something without being able to move legs independently.

A thought just struck me whilst I was lying in the bath re. Yorkshire puddings. I hope I'm not being patronising but one shouldn't wash the tin either otherwise it's just going to stick next time.

Right I can go to bed and sleep easy now. I wonder if this is how people like Ise feel after sharing their knowledge on a subject?!

Bacon is the reason I know vegetarians have taken leave of their senses and are just wrong on the whole not eating meat issue.

Pork is rancid - which is odd considering the same animal provides bacon.

So you don't like pork then :cry:

It's not my favourite.

any advice :?:

Never thought I'd be typing this but it's all about cooking at the highest temperature and letting the batter 'rest'.
Adjust measures accoringly but add 2 eggs to 160 ml of milk and a generous pinch of salt. Beat senseless and then rest for 15mins. Then beat in 130grams of plain flour until smooth. Rest until you are ready to use. Pre-heat the cooking vessell (with oil) at the highest possible temperature. Et voila!

That is good advice but I'll humour her this time on the grounds that

1) I had 1 morning snowboarding lesson when I was skiing with the school and hated it so much I give up after half an hour.
2) Based on the above and the fact that she gives up most things very soon it should be an easy way to shut her up on the matter quickly.
3) I'm sure I'll be in the shop by lunchtime swapping the board for skis.
4) Despite 1)it will be something else I'm better than her at.

Hm.......But what if I'm wrong?!

Thanks Bandit - just what I needed to hear. I'm not a fan of carrying shoddy skis round so next time I shall be bursting into the shop and demanding 'the finest skis known to man'. Except 'she' wants to give snowboarding a shot next time before deciding which one to stick with but that's another matter.
