So, who wants to help ... to cower in the cellar?

Well, a hearty Hurrah to that. And gin/vodotchka all round.
I was worrying about jump leads for the stalled ox last night, wee Bee, but then I remembered a) it was a Fatted Calf you mentioned; and b) probably carburettor trouble with the ox anyway… < feebly flails enough herbs for a dinner just in case >

Does “herbs” include cumin?

I dunno why because I didn’t grow up with it or anything like that, but if I get a whiff of the stuff I instantly feel happier.

Orf to me nest.

I file cumin under ‘spices’ rather than herbs, and now also under ‘Sparrer-cheering Stuff’.

Oooo yes - fruit cakes need regular applications of brandy!

At least the good ones do…

Was a bit later than planned with the brandy. However, it might be of interest to the Cellar to hear that if one carelessly applies the syringe close to an earlier syringing point, the cake spits the brandy back into the syringer’s eye. Mouth, I wouldn’t have minded so much…
