We used to have what was called the Mathom Drawer for such things; if they really were mathoms they also had the name of the donor on a label attached to them for the prevention of awkwardness.

Has anyone here tried rhubarb gin? Tesco have two, Slingsby Rhubarb Gin and Whitley Neill Rhubarb Ginger Gin. Tempted to give it a go cos I love rhubarb but I feel itâll be either delicious or revolting.

My general feeling is that Iâd rather have an actual rhubarb liqueur, or a gin.

You could make your own: it would probably be nicer.
Donât bother to use good gin; the one one up from cheapest (cheapest is paint-stripper) at Tesco works well for steeping fruit.
Bonus: the rhubarb crumble made with the rhubarb when you have strained off the gin is also rather splendid.

That does sound good, and the crumble sounds as though it could be even better!

I have had a rhubarb gin liqueur that Lidl sells recommended to me in glowing terms. Havenât actually tried it myself.

The great thing about making your own fruit gins and vodkas is that you can add less sugar than most of the recipes suggest if you donât want them too sweet, and leave the fruit steeping for longer if you want the end result to taste more of (say) raspberries, or rhubarb, or figs.
Tasting as you go along can be fun, as well. hic

A dine chewer will be added to my dine chewer when I get my stitches out and the root of my crown will be removed as wellâŚ
Dentists who insisted on giving children a filling at every check up in the past should be subjected to torture - the evil barstewards that they were!

My mother used to insist on seeing the hole before she would authorise a filling, blessings be upon her.

Hard to do that as a child sent on your own to the dentist
I think I had the right way of things as a 4 year old
Dentist evicted my mother and pulled my mouth open and inserted a finger
I bit said finger hard and refused to let go until mother was called in urgently
He was decent after that
Then we moved house and the evil fecker appeared in my life
Fillings all done without anesthetic of course
I hated that man so I avoided dentists for yearsâŚ

At least 3 of my Irish cousins have false teeth, because they had a spoonful of sugar after every meal!
Their children were not allowed to do this, & have far fewer problems.
I inherited the fairly fragile teeth gene from both parents, so itâs a battle.
The School Dentist was of the âdrill & fillâ variety, but we never saw him, as we were registered with a dentist. Lots of children did, though.

I wouldnât have been âsentâ anywhere on my own as a 4 year old, & certainly not for anything medical.
The Dentist was a âbus ride away & we all went in together. Me & my brother were sent to the waiting room & expected to admire the tropical fish when it was Mumâ s turn, but she came in with us, & discussed what treatment, if any, was required.

I am of the vintage who endured âprophylacticâ fillings because of alleged âdeep fissuresâ in my molars. No dental caries were involved. Grrrrrr.

I had meant to say that I was glad that your Darlings visit went well, Carinthia. Also, the necklace sounds gorgeous.
