Reporting in, dere Bee. I have not been arrested or sectioned - which is a sad commentary on the state of public services these days - and am about to read properly through the Cellar.
Sleep tight and buzzily

The Ma used to make a fantastic casserole - bearing in mind Twellsy’s distinction which I also tend to use, although I think it is more to do with the state of the meat before moisture is added, ie seared vs unseared - from hearts. Real warm-you-up-and-slow-you-down food. Someone I gave birth to asked for dumplings with it. Steewth.

I don’t eat stew.
I DO however eat slow-cooked meat (oxtail for preference) with vegetables. I call it “casserole” & that way it seems less like stew, so long as there are dumplings.
That way I can pretend it’s pie. As I originate from quite near Wigan pie is a very good thing.

So one might legitimately regard you as a Wigan Pier then, dere? Anyroad, oxtail is The Bizniss.

Where do I buy that, dahlink?
Vague nod to the not-terribly-funny joke about the young wife who wanted to know where to buy Scratch as “your bloody mother made everything from it”…
I have never had a Twells Pie. I have, however, seen a picture and am now a long-distance pie worshipper.

I have had some of Twellsy’s pies. Remembering when you flew all the way to Brizzle with two on your lap? I had a house full of people, Twellsy, Carinthia, Lady M, Glo, BG59, Fanta, Hedgie and dear old Goldilocks for lunch, The dining room was full to bursting as were we after Twellsy;s delicious pies. Twellsy disobeyed the rules and was smoking out of the bedroom window. Hedgie was on the patio with a portable cocktail bar and what a grand time we all had. I have never forgotten that day and to think that my friend asked me “How do you know that they aren’t all axe murderers and some will be staying In your house?”

We are all axe-murderers, but we do have some manners: we would never axe-murder someone whose salt we had eaten, no more than we would hit her with the back of a hockey-stick.
