Finally back home and daughter made dessert in our absence ... strawberry shortcake to Grandma's recipe :)
View attachment 208602
Ingredients:

½ lb self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
2 tbsp sugar
3 oz butter/margarine
1 egg
¼ pint milk (probably need a lot less)
Pot of double cream or whipped cream
1 tub of strawberries


Method:

Rub the margarine into the flour
Add other dry ingredients and mix
Mix in egg and milk until like a scone mix
Roll out 1 inch thick
Bake for 10-15 minutes at 200°C/gas 6/400F
Once cooked, let the shortcake cool
Whip the cream and slice the strawberries
Cut the shortcake in half and fill!

Morning all , beautiful morning again here. Went into town last night with hubby, daughter , son and daughters boyfriend to celebrate end of Uni for daughter. We drank ridiculous cocktails, well the boys didn't they stuck to the beer!, and ate yummy food. The oldies of the part got home at about 1am, I heard the youngsters rolling in at 4.30. It was a good night..

Trying to get rid of my Redfoot babies shows that they are as desirable in south Florida as Cancer. Or a case of Herpes.
So this morning they all went to Beverlys pet center in Hollywood for very cheap. I also gave the owner some TFO care sheets and found that he already knows about soaking and uses a tube uvb.
Just like that. I'm OUT of the breeding business.
It is irresponsible to breed tortoises in this market.

Such a difficult decision to make Ed. Electronic hug for having the courage to do what you did.
