I can only dream, but it all sounds delicious.
Especially when compared to my bought (I know) onion gravy, to which I subjected my lovely roasted fennel, nut roast, steamed broccoli, broad beans, green beans and Yorkshire Puds. Oh and mashed tatties. The gravy (Tesco Finest) was horribly sweet and shoite. I had declared ‘can’t be arsed’ to make veg gravy. Never again shall I be such a lazy bee.

Gus dear
I do love your ideas about child care
Lime pickle is a great way of deterring the little angels from wanting to help/get underfoot in the kitchen
I think you and I could run a marvellous cafeteria and bakery where the level of service depends on the attitude of the punters
Noisy snotty brats would be pointed at the bathroom with a facecloth and soap for starters
I use those vegetable stockpots, Soo . You dissolve the concentrated splodge (Technical Term, M’Lud) in hot water & you have, at least, a decent base for summat
I love mushroom ketchup too

I can not find mushroom ketchup round here for love nor money
Not always easy in Chesterfield either, Twellsy
BiL bought the last 2 bottles for me when we were in Mansfield in December

I like the veg stockpots, Carinthia (in their place) but the Tesco gravy was utterly vile. And, having second sight, I see that Twellsy can’t find mushroom ketchup. I have a bottle in the fridge - very useful, for me, but I don’t have tasty lamb on my doorstep or another in the hive who’d appreciate this. Whimper…

Have just looked, & Amazon have it , Twellsy

Tesco & Sainsbury have yer mushroom ketchup.
And I must go to bed. Tomorrow involves a walk around an estate with the promise of the evening quiz in the Social Club, to follow.

Now there’s a thought, Twellsy dere.
But not child care so much as herding ambulant sources of protein. Dean Swift’s Particular Fricassée would look well on the lunchtime Specials board, don’t you think?
Thinking too small…
Glad to see someone archived SPROGOPOLIS when geocities was shut down: http://www.geocities.ws/madsquopper/sprogop.html
Yeah, but I don’t know about the Harse Hend of the ROI, Soo

Send this medicinal juniper extract in after it (bonus, it’ll help you to sleep).
Oh dearie me
Am I the only one up?
Would bacon butties be useful in awakening slumbering cellarati?

Passes platter of bacon butties to a wee birdie and collars Darrington to wake Luigi for tea

Shame, dere Chatelaine. Take it as easy as you can.
Mine seems to be a stupid and rather inefficient, indecisive sort of germ. Bah & bleagh.
All gerrrummms are dedded by a goodly portion of gin or vodka
To wash down the bacon butties
And failing that there’s always the Black Balsam. When you wake up, you’ll be feeling much better, well, apart from the hangover.
