Guilty Pleasures

My grandmother used to make a very passable sweet out of condensed mikl when I was a kid. She added dessicated coconut and - I think - confectioners caramel.

Or, of course, the Fish could provide itself with some ready-made dulce de leche. It wants to really. Just the thing for emergency banoffee sandwiches* or for eating off a teaspoon in times of great crisis or indulgence.

Oh sorry, poor Carinthia. This is a lovely pretty clean bucket and it wants to be your friend.

*the like have never passed my lips and never will, if I have any say in the matter. After you with the friendly bucket, petal

That, darling, is just a touch weird and suggests to me that there is too much Unnecessary Housework going on. Contact me as usual on slatternsnslutsrus@gus.wottever

Found some RGs in the cupboard uder the sink/gateway to Erebus, depending, the other day. They are Large, and for Extended Life. Aye, right, so they don’t work. And they are not useful for me, whose hands are square and squat.

Volume 2 has, amongst it’s 60 tracks, ‘Puff, the Magic Dragon’, ‘The Gnu Song’ and ‘Boom … Oooo … Ya-ta-ta-taaa’.

Oh … & ‘The Banana Boat Song’. Today’s ear-worm already.

“Daaay-oh. De, De, da daa-aa-aay oooh”

But, tbf, they aren’t all that good.

Mrs Shanks doesn’t notice. She’s sort of given up. Though the question last night of “where would you like your ashes spreading” was disturbing.
