fivemackThere are two ways of making flapjacks, the healthy way which produces a large slab of oats lightly contaminated with toffee, and the less healthy way which produces a large slab of toffee lightly contaminated with oats.
Commercial flapjacks tend to be of the first kind; moreover they make the toffee with margarine. I made two batches for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
beckyc's party yesterday, one of each kind; they were much-appreciated, the toffier ones even more so than the others.
It was a good party, preceded by a walk around Wimpole with Becky and Owen in what was thankfully snow rather than rain: we watched X-files and Xena, listened to the Wombles, and MBM juggled flashing balls and rolled a crystal ball around his hand in an entertainingly show-off kind of a way. Becky made creme brulee to demonstrate her new blowtorch, Alison made baked alaska, and the room became companionably full.
