Upsetting the doctor and today’s recipe

I upset the doctor today. It was the normal 3 weekly checkup and he asked how I was.

So I replied, “pretty good”.  My appetite is back, I’m gaining weight slightly, I can eat everything.

“No,” he said, “I want to know the bad news.”

So I apologised and said I hadn’t got any, even my stomach trouble seemed to be settling down.  He looked slightly disappointed and went to check the blood tests.

They must have been OK as well, because he told us we could go.

So to celebrate here’s the recipe for my wife’s dreaded All-Bran cake.

Take

4oz All-Bran, 5oz sugar and 10oz mixed dried fruit, mix well.

Stir in 0.5 pt milk, and leave for 2 hours

Stir in 4oz SR flour, 1 egg, teaspoon mixed spice,  mix well.

Turn into lined baking tray and bake for 45 mins at Gas reg4 / 180C

It will keep you going for hours!
