    Good to see you back posting. Even if my first thought on seeing
    the title of this recipe was that we'd be cruising to "Gay Bay". Bv)=

    Title: Mary Berry's Iced Faery Cakes
    Categories: Cakes, Desserts, Snacks
    Yield: 12 cupcakes

    MMMMM-----------------------FAERY CAKES------------------------------
    100 g (4 oz) softened butter
    100 g (4 oz) caster sugar
    2 lg Eggs
    100 g (4 oz) self-raising flour
    1 ts (level) baking powder

    MMMMM--------------------------ICING---------------------------------
    225 g (8 oz) sifted icing sugar
    2 tb (to 3 tb) warm water
    Handful of sweets; to
    - decorate

    To make these faery cakes, preheat the oven to 200┬║C
    fan/180┬║C fan/gas 6. Place faery cake cases into a 12
    hole bun tin, to keep a good even shape as they bake.
    Or if you don't have a bun tin, you can line a standard
    baking tray instead, but just keep in mind that the
    cakes may not rise perfectly rounded as they won't have
    support from the bun tin to hold the mixture in place
    when baking.

    Measure all the ingredients; 100g softened butter, 100g
    caster sugar, 2 large eggs, 100g self-raising, and 1
    level tsp baking powder into a large bowl and beat for
    2-3 mins with an electric whisk or wooden spoon manually
    until the mixture is well blended and smooth. Fill each
    paper case with the mixture using a tablespoon to ensure
    each faery cake will bake to the same size.

    Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the
    cakes are well-risen and golden brown. We would
    recommend checking the cakes at 15 minutes to make sure
    they are not browning too quickly on top - don't open
    the oven though or only open it slightly if you have to
    otherwise the mixture will sink in the middle and your
    faery cakes won't rise properly. Once baked, lift the
    paper cases out of the bun tin and cool the cakes on a
    wire rack.

    Once the faery cakes are completely cooled, put the
    icing sugar in a bowl and gradually blend in the warm
    water until you have a fairly stiff icing. Spoon over
    the top of the cakes and decorate with sweets. Leave to
    set for 30 minutes or serve as they are.

    Title: A Very Gay Meat Loaf
    Categories: Meatloaf, Pork
    Yield: 1 Meatloaf

    5 lb Ground pork and veal; or
    - pork, veal, and beef in
    - equal amounts
    1 Bottle chili sauce
    2 c Sour cream
    Salt
    Pepper
    Nutmeg
    Summer savory
    4 pk Fresh spinach
    3 c Fresh mushrooms; quartered
    - (optional) -OR-
    1 Additional pkg fresh spinach
    6 Eggs; up to 8; hard boiled
    - (optional)
    Bacon slices; (optional)

    Mix chili sauce, sour cream, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and summer savory
    in with the meat.

    Have ready a large pot (the biggest you own) of boiling water with 1
    tb salt added per qt of water. Take the fresh spinach, which you have
    washed well, and cut the stems off (the stems can be boiled and
    chopped and added to the meat, saved for making soup, or thrown
    away). Put handfulls of the spinach in a strainer or collander and
    dip for 5 seconds in the boiling water. Each time put the dipped
    spinach aside and repeat the process until all the spinach ahs been
    dipped. Toss the spinach (and mushrooms) after having wrung out the
    water into the meat. Do not overmix and do not try to get the spinach
    evenly mixed into the meat--there should be pockets of spinach in the
    meat.

    Put the mixture into a huge broiling pan (disposable aluminum is
    fine) or several smaller ones. Leave space for the melted fat.
    (Insert boiled eggs gently into the mixture and cover them with it.)
    Spread this with a thin coat of sour cream.

    You can cover the surface with bacon slices if desired.

    Bake at 350°F for about 1 hour; test done-ness by sticking a fork in.
    During baking, spill out the melted fat which the store included in
    your meat. Boiled carrots are a good side dish.
