So, who wants to help ... to instaurate the cellar?

Well said, that Manxwumman!
However, many people dear to me lap it up with gusto and I have no wish to deprive them of a single millilitre of their pleasure.
It must be a texture thing: I like tomatoes in every other format.

I think it is texture and that’s my problem with fried/poached/boiled eggs too. The slippery, slimy nasty texture of egg whites. Uuuuurgh!

eta Why did I have to start thinking about that? I can’t stop shuddering now.

Don’t worry, I’ll eat the leftovers.

What a kind and thoughtful sparrer you are. Don’t know what we’d do without you.

I can enjoy tomato juice with just a dash of L&P. Fried/poached/boiled eggs are all fine by me. I don’t much care for beer (quite like Guinness with a summer’s day ploughman’s) so I reckon I am an ideal Cellar person as I’ll get along with the stuff that makes others shudder.

What you need is a few silkies! Eggs about half the size of other hens, but the reduction is pretty well all in the white. Great for hard-boiled eggs.

And of course, you get the pleasure of ultra-cute and fluffy hens…

I have, today, received a couple of Fisherman’s Friends cds to help me tolerate the tedium of the treadmlill. (I manage an outside walk most days but there are others when I should make a bluddy effort.)

Here’s a drop of Nelson’s blood:

Nobody is obliged to listen, of course, but I love shanties.

Good nights, Cellarites,
