I used to make tea loaf, as I called it, all the time … but haven’t done so for ages. This sounds scrummy!
Its very similar to a tea loaf, I just used what I had in the cupboard 🙂
I like your cooking Barb.
Thank you very much hut, but you haven’t tasted it yet so I would hold back that judgement :))
True, but I trust you!
