Indeed - I saw an advert for Mr Kipling last night, saying they now only used free range eggs in their cakes.. gross to think I was support battery farm if I fancied some apple pies quickly!
But yes, I've done similar... haven't bought a shop egg since last October, had a fried egg sarnie for lunch yesterday - woweeeeeeee - not had one of my own eggs fried yet, luberly thick yolk! - anyway, compared one to a "free range" egg at mother in laws a while back when making an omelete - boy the difference is shocking.. Iknow there's the different meaning of free range in legal terms, but my 'garden range' eggs blow the socks off them, and for that matter, organic eggs - shop bought, too!
And at 5p/each, and a weekly clean out - bargain!

I used to work for Mr Kipling in my student days - holiday job. It was ages before I could face a shop cake again! Never buy them, make my own.Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

No, but I did start a Cake Club in the village a couple of years ago. We meet for a morning coffee session in the village hall once a month and 3 of us bake a cake. (Taking turns). We pay 50p and get as much cake and tea/coffe as we want and it covers the cost of hiring the hall. Usually 20 - 25 people turn up. We donate the cakes but lots of laydees (and a couple of chaps) my age enjoy baking but have not enough family left at home to eat it all. Good compromise - and even the dieters let go for one morning a month!Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.
