Preparedness for when

ELAINE cakes freeze perfectly well, but buttercream and icing don't!! If you whisk up the eggs in 2s or 3s and label how many there are in each bag you can freeze them and then they are ready to defrost and use in cooking or for omelettes/scrambled egg/quiches and will keep for when the chicks go off lay and moult. Hope that helps, Lyn xxx. You can't freeze unprocessed whole eggs, they have to be whisked first or separated. Egg yolks and egg whites freeze perfectly well when separated x.

the petrol comes into various ports. No pipeline here that I know of. No further news on shortages so hope it was nothing major. Had to laugh at the alligator comment. The gator trapper was here this week and took a large gator out of the lake. My husband towed it to the trappers truck with his ride on mower.
Thank you for the info on your growing season. Our town trucks have a picture of a potato on them. It is a major crop here. We grow tomatoes, peppers, figs, oranges, lemons on our property. Also have a banana tree, apple tree, pecan tree, cherry tree and avocado tree that are new so we will see how they do.

a few months back, I heard a lady down the road in a lovely big old farmhouse had a man walk in and ask her for sex!

Is her house up for rent by any chance? :rotfl:

When I posted yesterday, I meant to include a picture which might just be of interest to somebody - but I couldn't find it. I have now, though, and here it is!

That is a batch of lovely spelt bread buns baking on our "Welsh Bakestone", which is neither Welsh nor stone. It's nothing more than a piece of 3/8th inch thick mild steel laser-cut into 12 inch circle with a hand grip on it, but we find it very handy indeed - particularly for scones and Scotch pancakes

The stove is a Clearview Pioneer 400, by the way.

Last time we got the usual letter, we ticked the appropriate box and said if your chap lets us know when he's in the area, he's more than welcome to pop in for a cup of tea and a slice of stale shop-cake.

I never return anything I receive from them (it all disappears into the black hole that is my letterbox ), and I certainly wouldn't invite them into my home.

BOB don't you think that if you are the only person to have lit windows during a power outage that it might make you the first port of call for a visit from the unscrupulous public to relieve you of the means you do have?

I have heavy curtains.

From the outside, the CFL could pass for half a dozen candles.

I am thinking of getting a Kelly Kettle I am torn between the small trekker and larger base camp models. So any advice and comments about which would be better? Thanks.
