I'll have to catch up with the work emails...answered two already!! Then I will need to cook din dins..................

okey dokey ......
oh god dinner i'd forgotten about that

well i enjoyed that Twass i think synchronised watching is a success!!!

Certainly is!! At some point if we manage to get tk watching the same episode at the same time it would be EPIC!!!

do you think we can lure tans in? they had Geat knowledge......*twirls imaginary moustache*

But...would we have to wait for him to BUY it???

if s/he ordered now from the link i gave and s/he has amazon prime it would arrive tomorrow

Good point!! Well, time will tell.....I'm fed and watered now. It wasn't goat and vegetable stew with bread and gallons of ale

thanks goodness for that!!
i had a nostalgia night and went italian - very, very, garlicy at Ristorante Planets
i was talking on the phone last night to a very old friend and she reminded me of a restaurant we used to go to all the time so i was inspired to cook an approximation of my favourite meal there!!!

Taste is like time travel isn't it?

It is, I can remember all my mum's dishes she would cook when I was a child. There was her version of bolognese....mince with tomatoes in served on rice Her fabulous stews.....and her Apple Batter....OMG the best pudding ever!!! Like a sweet yorkshire pud with fried apples in it. BLISS! If I tasted that now I would scoot back half a century

my mum makes the best dumplings ever created they are like little savoury clouds

apple batter sounds lovely i love appley puds although i'm not keen on pie i LOVE crumble.....do you like rhubarb Twass (and any other readers!)?

I love rhubarb! Both my Granddad and Dad used to force it with a metal dustbin over the plant, so you got the palest pink most delicate boobrarb ever. Granddad called it Champagne Rhubarb

oh god that sounds heavenly. it's such a delicious flavour, i adore rhubarb, i can't get enough of it. I missed the season this year it wasn't in the shops by the time i could get to them

You can look forward to having it this spring....I really ought to get a crown or two to put in the garden here....but being only one of me how would I eat all that boobrarb??

freeze it!!! i roasted it and put it in individual bags of either single portions or enough rhubarb for one batch of frangipane (i'd pop the roasted rhubarb on the top!!) i also froze the juice separately in order to make a rhubarb glaze

Is it easy to grow do you know? I only have a small back yard but i have loads of pots and bamboos and things so if it grew in pots i could probably fit it in!!!

It's dead easy to grow! You just chuck plenty of well rotted poo on top and it comes up lovely year on year

As a child Dad would say if I found any horse poo on the road to get it with my bucket and spade and he'd PAY me!

plant some Twass!!! if you have too much i'll take it off your hands

you were the poo girl goo goo ka choo

I'll read up on the best position for it. My problem here growing anything is that wild rabbits eat the lot. Every last bit. There are a few things they don't like eating and I have to stick to those in general

oh that's annoying
i've never eaten rabbit perhaps i could begin

I tasted it once. ACK Never again

People always say it tastes like chicken....i take it they are erm mistaken?

It has an oddly sweet flavour....I wouldn't say it's much like chicken tbh......

Mr Fox left me a present last spring of an eviscerated baby bunny corpse which it thoughtfully deposited on my doorstep

Nice
When i was little, i was (and still am ) a very barefoot sort of person, my cat used to leave the rabbit's stomach on the floor in front of the fridge. She'd eat everything else just this shiny stomach i'd almost stumble on. She found it amusing.

Ah, cats and the little surprises they love to leave for the unwary barefoot human I've put my tootsies on all manner of those in my time.... .

At that age i'd just hide in my bedroom till my dad cleared it up

Dads are Gods
