Fishy, inventing Noo stitches/patterns izzan Bluddy triumph when you are doing so many squares. I hope that you are repeating some, or it’ll never be finished.

I have just lifted an porkie pie out of the oven

It needs to have its jelly added as it cools

Or the custard.

For ‘custard’ read ‘mustard’ throughout.

Yes, please, Twellsy. It’ll sustain me through packing and flitting down south to meet up with DS and DiL, tomorrow. We’ll be staying over, tonight, and travelling back tomorrow evening so we can visit the Embra crew on Boxing Day. SiL was to cook a game pie (which he knows I would enjoy) but their oven was being used as a meat safe and he abentmindedly turned the bugga on for mince pies
Cue stink of melted plastic and weeping and wailing. It makes a change for me that I shan’t be required to cook for a couple of days, anyhoo.

Today we have mist. I assume the other side of the valley has been taken away for cleaning. (I mean, it has a golf course.)

Perhaps the weather is trying to hide the golf course

After all not many normal folk want to see fat folks chasing a tiny ball around the scenic walk

Oh no, Soo! I feel extremely sorry for the SiL - and forra Bee, deprived of delicious game pie.
But everything will be fab anyway, I suspect. Safe journeys, Bees, and have a lovely time.

A friend of ours was involved in developing a plastic used for electrical conduit, and one of the things needed was a heat-test: low heat over a long period. He therefore put some samples into the top of the oven at low heat and left them for a few hours.

That evening his wife made an apple pie, turned up the oven (probably muttering about having gone mad and left it on at very low) and popped it in.

Three quarters of an hour later there was a perfect apple pie with a plastic lid.

I am worrying that I haven’t done all for the morrow

That nagging feeling of I need to do something when you have done all you need to (but might have forgotten something
)

It comes before the release of “well, it’s too late now, anything I haven’t done isn’t going to happen”.

She did. We laid all the squares out on the table and she took photos to show her wife, who was on duty and couldn’t come, but was utterly chuffed with the shortbread that was sent home to her; she was described as being “in shortbread raptures”, so that is all good as well.

Your turkey still in the freezer?
No brandy butter?
No herbs for the stuffing?
No big foil?
No potato/parsnip/sprouts/carrots/bread/butter?

Only the one box of matrons glacés? A lamentable lack of CrÚme de Menthe?
