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

Do be careful dear chatelaine

Bacon butties ready

[Carinthia]

I will, Twellsy

Not considering it yet

We still have no front light. At this time of year, and with no visitors, it is less of a complete pain than it might be, but as the nights draw out we will have hordes of people falling down our front steps in the dark and landing in untidy huddles outside the front door. Not really a good plan.

[3Wells]

Our front light is a fancy led bulb in a goldfish bowl alike glass globe

With that and the noo drive delivery folk adore the hovel as they can see to do paperwork

Never mind the fact it is for my benefit

Pore blind old bat

In other news the Bull is in my Good Books

A frock I have lusted over for months was on M&S sale in my size but I could not get it delivered for whatever reason was available

So as he is trotting orf to Cork for a nexam for a radio licence at the weekend and there is a huge store there my frock is being delivered to store for collection

Women’s Partywear | M&S IE

That frock

Lovely innit?

[ThatFunnyMummy]

It is lovely, Twellsy. And a very good price too!

[3Wells]

Yes I couldn’t believe the price

After all my lustings and failures to purchase I feel the old saying of

“What’s for you won’t go by you” must have been at work

[Carinthia]

It’s a lovely print & price!

Nice thing, Twellies.

@JustJanie

Could you beat up the eggs so that you got more of a scrambled effect, no creepy yolks for Gus?

Oh, I forgot to mention that the kippers were in a white sauce, so you can imagine how rib-sticking, what with the eggs, the butter in the sauce, the oil in the kippers and I suppose more butter for cooking the omelette. We all had cast-iron stomachs, luckily. I must ask LadySusan if she remembers. She survived, I can confirm that.

I have to confess that I don’t recall kipper omelettes but if I did have them I can confirm that I survived

You must have got the unusual omelette making gene from our dad, his jam omelettes were a legend that I didn’t get to try as I don’t think he cooked again after I was born, not quite sure how he managed that

[Gus]

@LadySusan

his jam omelettes were a legend

For some reason that reminded me of ‘the recipe for Duck à la Banana fortunately goes with him to his grave’…

[Carinthia]

Heave…

[Gus]

Sorry, Dahlink. I blame Richard Curtis.

[3Wells]

I have finished my doggie

He has two wellies thus far

Tomorrow the remaining boots and coat will be done

[Fanta]

It didn’t really, you know.

There is also rumour of duck-and-banana curry.

And a jam omelette featured prominently in ‘Strong Poison’, remember.

[Fanta]

I have never had one, but then I suspect my omelette-making method might not lend itself readily to jam.

[Carinthia]

Please don’t try it, Fishy.
Your Omerletties are the best

Soufflé omelette. Whites whipped separately then incorporated into the yolks. Sweetened, for a jam omelette. Spoonful of rum is sometimes recommended.
With all due respect to Lady Susan’s and Janie’s papa, just… No.

@JustJanie

I begin to suspect the arsenic was merely a contributory factor in Boyes’s demise.

[Gus]

@Fanta

It didn’t really, you know

Did so! Perhaps I mangled the quotation and it should have been His recipe/the grave. The person posting that recipe is clearly an impostor, as well as a dangerous lunatic with depraved tastes. Depraved tastebuds, anyway.

The curry, now, that’s a different matter ;- )

[3Wells]

Bananannananas do not belong in curry

Plantains yes but that is all
