I have to go out, so have ordered an taxi.

Managed to get me warm-lined leather boots on. I have suède Shoesies, but I don’t think that I would have boots.

A friend has Uggs, but they offer no support that I can see.

Hmmm…Have I ever mentioned the time when Mr Bee (having invited his similarly drunken mates to his parents’ home) commandeered The Tin of Ye Olde Oak Ham from the cupboard to create a curry? Funeral Ham - how very could he?

SHOCKED doesn’t come close to MiL’s reaction, I can tell you.

I have never tasted posh tinned ham

Spiced ham yes

But the stuff with the jelly no

Bluddy Ell, Twellsy.

My Grandma kept hers in the bottom of a wardrobe along with tinned salmon, tinned fruit salad & tinned cream.

Anything considered ornery was in the kichen cupboard, but these exotica were for Sunday Tea When Visitors Were Expected, or Christmas.

I was brought up with a ham tea meaning you bought a whole leg of well smoked ham and cooked it proper by boiling and then glazing and baking it

And have always had access to a decent flesher/butcher who could provide the ham

I hated shaking the tinned cream to make it pipeable

Onto a sponge flan with tinned pears and a flake crushed onto it to give a hint of chocolate

My Father was the only one with the strength to shake the tinned cream to thickness within the hour!

It was always much slacker when my Mother had to do it. Grandma had evaporated milk for ornery but Mum hated it, so that didn’t feature at home.

Recent conversations with friends have revealed that we could all locate the butter papers/wrappers in each other’s childhood kitchens! :joy::joy::joy:
