That picture dear hearts is why I use proper beef suet
Treacle pud tastes wrong without the proper suet!
All that flavoursome cholestrol is required in a proper steamed pudden
Aaah Sussex pond pud treacle pud spotted dick roly polys and all of the tribe of real puds
Not that pile of squelch that is yer much vaunted bread and butter pud soggy custard flavoured bread is to be avoided
I hate soggy things - cake in jelly as a layer of a trifle is another such texture - why not set the jelly and add the set jelly to the bowl?
If you must have cake have cake and leave the jelly for hospitals to force down the throats of the inmates who appear to think jelly and ice cream is ambrosia!
As for lemming dribble cake Why ruin a nice cake by making it soggy?
And breathe

Don’t want to alarm you, Twellsy, but Atora beef suet has the identical picture…

Today has already turned weird on me.
Amazon is trying to sell me bulk packages of…
…condoms.
Why???
It wouldn’t be quite true to say I have no use for them, but there are relatively limited occasions calling for a water bomb these days, such is the drab life I lead.
I think their algorithm must be broken.

You are correct dear wee limpet
I think I will have to get the butcher to grate me some from round the kidneys of cows he has in to chop up for we customers

This one of course is quietly going mad and will some day run amok with the great big knife.

As evidenced by the fact that she has clearly anointed her hair with rendered suet

In a vending machine in deepest darkest holy catholic Ireland’s wild west 20 years ago flavoured condoms were available in the ladies toilets
Said toilets were a ghastly pink tiled affair
I was quite taken by the vending machines products
Paper knickers toothbrushes tampons hair brushes and make ups
Along with assorted icons in the pub!
True Father Ted sort of wild west

If not the actual same pub, I have been in one very like it… Don’t recall the paper knickers, mind.

Aawww. You say the nicest things.
Surprisingly well, thank you. She had an MRI just before Christmas so the surgeon could see if things were as they should be. Results next week. She’s got 90% of the elbow-bend back. Questions are “is that it ?” She remarked about a few things to him & he responded with “yes, well, it was a horrendous fracture”. Not a word a surgeon uses lightly I suspect.
Not yet driven, more nervousness than capability I suspect, now. Still needs painkillers as the arm hurts after a few hours without. She surprised herself a couple of weeks ago when she leant on the arm, at a desk, and got an almighty pain.
But, overall, progressing well. But it’s 5 months now. All from a simple trip.
Moral of this story being … “don’t trip”.

I suspect you’re right.
Sounds as if she has made excellent progress, though it must feel it is taking forever, poor woman, and I hope she is soon able to use the arm without pain. Such a horrible thing to have happened.

I proffer gentle hugs to the surprising one
And words of encouragement about rehab - it is slow but it is beneficial
I have been known to do physio exercises to keep what mobility I have and what dexterity I have

Well done Mrs S . That’s real progress, despite her feeling that it’s all painfully (!) slow.
I would have to order suet from my butcher, as it isn’t on display, but as I don’t do suet puddings, I don’t bother.
I would buy a packet for dumplings, which I make several of, & then freeze.
Orff to the Cemetery shortly

There has been drama here in the hovel
Murder most foul
A silly mouse was daft enough to try to come in the living room
The two moggies welcomed it with open mouths and 36 claws
The dear wee Bengals watched in faint horror at the thought of being useful

Don’t I know it
Did anyone catch the reading of TS Elliot’s practical cats yesterday?
We listened while planting daffs
I know But I have been unwell all Autumn so I am trying to catch up
10kg of daffs should line the drive and terrace shouldn’t it?
