One of the converts I taught joined the church because he was a big time Dale Murphy fan. We tracted into the guy and he slammed the door in our faces, but then realized we were the Dale Murphy Mormons and not the JWs. He came running down the road after us to come back.

Re: What mission did you serve in
I'm afraid that you will need to be far more specific on which is the "normal" looking guy in this picture. This picture is a hive of weird things going on just below the surface based on outfits, facial expressions, and the giant in the background.

My home stake is Leeds..... wonder if I ever met you or if you came to our house for dinner and I subjected you to my awful cooking...... sorry 'bout that! My TBM husband invites the poor, unsuspecting missionaries for dinner all the time and I really cannot cook!

As a missionary, I ate whatever (unless it was blood pudding or haggis), and just appreciated people would feed us. I'm sure your cooking was better than me cooking something in our flat.
I really miss yorkshire pudding with potatoes and gravy.

Re: What mission did you serve in
Yorkshire puddings are easy! Get the oven really hot, pop a metal oven tray, muffin tin, fairy cake tin - whatever you have into the oven with enough oil (veg oil or sunflower not olive) to cover the base.Deepthinker wrote: ↑Wed Apr 12, 2017 7:01 amThat's awesome!

Get that really hot.
In the blender or use a hand whisk:
75g Plain Flour
1 Egg
4 fl oz cold water
6 fl oz milk
Salt and pepper
Whisk it to get lots of air in, leave it to sit for ten mins.
Pour into the metal tray(s) and cook for 20-25 mins at 230 degrees
Trick is to not let heat out of the oven and DO NOT open the oven whilst they are cooking.
Even I can make these!
