Feeling decidedly sick, yet full of a sort of manic confidence, I decided to try my hand at making a couple of bakewell tarts ( I have never eaten a bakewell tart in my life but why not)

After licking another few spoons clean I felt even sicker but for no apparant reason , I thought I'd make some more elderflower cordial.
I normally have the attention span of a gnat, when I have too much sugar I am hopeless.
In short, I put ten oz of citric acid plus a lemon in about a litre of cordial (why, why??) and
dropped one of the bakewell tarts when it came out of the oven. (OH suggested I should have a lie down at this point but I ploughed on).

After topping up my sugar high on bakewell tart trimmings I decided to have a bash at making crumpets ... only I didn't read the recipe properly and put 1/2 Oz of dried yeast in four crumpets! Waste not want not I thought and polished the lot off.
Now, apart from a terrible headache, I am coming round a bit and cannot believe I have spent all morning in the kitchen with the oven on full whack on a day like this!
NO MORE SUGAR JILL!
