Note to Angua: don’t forget to make some of the ecial-spay ookies-cay for ir-Tay - the ones with the ozac-Pray ips-chay…
Gotcha. I must make some caffiene laden ones as well…
Hmmm…chocolate-covered espresso bean cookies.
I’m not sure the world is ready for that one yet, let alone the NHS.
Ooohh… wow… what an idea. I’m going to try it. If it works, then I shall be a very very happy Angua
If you do, just bear in mind how many beans there are in one cookie, and how many cookies you’ve eaten. Don’t go giving yourself a heart murmur or suchlike.
But do let us know if it works, tastewise.
Gyrate, caffiene has very little effect on my - I get withdrawl headaches if I don’t have my first cup by 9:30 in the morning. Trust me, chocolate covered espresso bean cookies aren’t going to put me into hospital. 
Will do. I’ll probably make them at the weekend, when I bake ginger cookies. 
Espresso bean cookies - sounds like a good multipurpose confectionary to me.
I’ll bake the cake too, on the premise that it has to be someone’s birthday, and I enjoy baking cakes with the child (though she rarely gets to eat them poor thing).
Any more offers of baked goods? Anyone want to do something savoury?
think the pub will have issues if we turn up with an entire buffet.
Maybe we should have a picnic. I mean, I’m sure the weather in London in late November will be perfectly conducive to outdoor dining…
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer-bay eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer-bay eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer-bay!
If anyone needs an excuse for a cake, well my birthday was 3 weeks ago now, but nobody made me a cake…and I spent it sick with bronchitis. So bake away! (Although I am beginning to wonder at what point the pub will have issues with all this outside food. I will defer on pub etiquette issues to the British Contingent.)
perhaps we could find a pub that lets you take your own food in, like those curry houses that let you take your own beer in
Hehe… I’m sure if we bribe the landlord/bar staff with some of the food, everything will be ok. That said, who will want to give up AnguaCookies and mine pies?
And rugelach are enough to make anyone convert to Judaism. (Or at least culturally Jewish agnosticism, like yours truly.)
It’s only one cake and some cookies and mince pies (and some Rugelach, whatever that is). That’s not really a lot of food. We don’t have to bring it all out at the same time either. If the lesbian bars I go to are happy with me taking cake there, I don’t see why the straight bars should be any different.

See what I mean?
cough I think you meant to say mine pies. They’re called mine pies cough.
Greedy ianzin, wanting them all for yourself.
Every time someone writes “mine pies”, it starts the Battle Hymn of the Republic in my head again. Every friggin’ time! Knock it off, please.
Mine pies have seen the coming of the custard of the Lord… <shutupshutupshutup…>
Mine pies mine pies mine pies mine pies! cackles evilly
