Simply sprinkle some olive oil, salt, pepper and some nutmeg powder onto them and bake for around 30 mins in the oven, turning part way through. They should be slightly blackened/crisp on the outside and soft/butter inside ... wonderful! Belated Merry Xmas Jo and wishing you and Matt a fab 2017<br />Sue Clinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15582183867336673426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-45032956472738235362016-12-27T07:43:11.190-05:002016-12-27T07:43:11.190-05:00I think I remember you mentioning the show now Ivy...I think I remember you mentioning the show now Ivy.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087140585742801854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2762107274389650601.post-11152621668774977102016-12-27T01:29:22.651-05:002016-12-27T01:29:22.651-05:00I'm glad you started watching.

Why BBC didn't pay up to keep the show, I'll never understand. But on the bright side, more folks are finding the show now. Too bad about Mel and Sue not staying with the show. They're some funny gals.
