Hi Loraine! Thanks for the reply nice to hear from you!! Have heard of Marquis gardens but couldn't take you to it, I live just off the Newtownards rd in Bangor. Sorry don't know how to make Veda bread, I hate the stuff, my mother-in-law bakes alot I'll ask her if she knows and let you know

[giannineo]

Loraine , I think there is a recipe for Veda somewhere on the Forum....can anyone help with it?

Hi Giannineo!! I know you are a blether!! but you do make me laugh!! I see you are a Podiatrist, thats interesting, I love hoking and poking at feet, when I left school I started off working in a Beauty Salon, I know it is embarrassing but my favourite part of the job was pedicures, I loved all the hard skin and ingrowing toenails!! maybe I have some sort of problem
My mother-in law used to have a wee holiday home in Greece in a place called Mikonos(not sure of the spelling) she adores the place, I have never been myself. Hope you have a lovely birthday on friday

Hi Stig and Welcome.
We had a thread a while ago on Veda and I think I posted a link to a recipe. As you will see, the Veda recipe is a  closely guarded secret.
The thread start here  http://www.belfastforum.co.uk/index.php/topic,2207.0.html

Mykonos...braw Bogey.... my first Greek island ever in  1974.It is now very much a designer trendy place.Wee sugar cube houses, beautiful.
   We arrived on Paradise Beach on a wee caique and it took off and left us. Then we realised it was a nudist beach...we stayed for a week and the first few days were the hardest

[scattybatt]

Mykonos has a very high gay population now or so my ma-in-law says and its just too expensive to go there now.

[giannineo]

Aye, Super Paradise beach is where the gays hang out,just over the hill from Paradise beach.Very expensive now as you say and glad I went there before it caught on.

Hi Stig. You beat me to the punch about yourself. See the recipe for wheaten bread as well. Coats is from Vancouver Canada formerly from the Cregagh Estate. Born in Glenarm. Coats
