  • Hi! I had trouble figuring out how to reply on my phone. The cookbook is "How to be a Domestic Goddess" by Nigella Lawson, and I know really cheap copies can be had on Amazon -- I gave it to everyone one Christmas! Everything in it is really tasty! She uses self-rising flour, but I never bother, I just substitute (I think I looked it up once & wrote it in the back of my book).

    Thanks for joinging and hope to see you next week Tuesday. I understand you're not a big fan of graphic novels but we don't read them often, in fact Maus is the only one we've picked. Even people who don't typically get into graphic novels like this one, so I recommened it and hope to see you Tuesday!
