Sunshine in Kent, and even warmer tomorrow. Is the sun just shining on the righteous?

I know Kent, don't forget. Do you class the denizens of the Medway towns as among hte righteous?

Ahhh NDG, That depends whether you're a Man of Kent or a Kentish man.

Rare you get the opportunity to tease two chums at the same time, just for Lydia and PN......

Yummy scrummylicious superduperty supsups with Jamie Oliver's blackberry mascarpone tart recipe for puds. I just know how my friend PN LURVES Jamie and up beat ridiculous speak! and how Lydia loves to see what we're having for supper!

Right, off to do something miraculous, healthy wholesome and most importantly FUN with whole meal pasta and our home grown tomatoes.....

Byeeeeeeee

If it were good to read about other people's lovely days we'd all be posting photos of meals to starving Africans...... to cheer them up.

Assuming starving Africans are your facebook friends and have internet access!

Finding your friends are doing jolly things or have achieved something or want to share a joyous moment is good. Spread the love.

Odd conversation....

Me. 'I wish we had some handy bread crumbs'

DH, seeking to fulfil my desire...' We have blackcurrants'

Um............

I'm collecting alternatives to breadcrumbs. Depends what you want them for....... blackcurrants might have worked if it were to feed birds

Summers back...

......looks like you've all been in the Garden like me!

Some of us have been doing our bit for the retail and service sector

Decided it was time for a haircut (it's probably almost exactly a year since the last one).

I've also bought:
A pair of shoes (decided I need to try and start wearing more heels rather than flats all the time and a pair with a modest heel caught my eye)
Three pairs of tights and some spray on plaster from the clearance shelf in Boots
A Christmas present for my mum
Some random stuff from Morrisons (first visit to newly opened store)

Oops

What I can remember liking from Morrisons when I visited them more frequently are: their bagged up pasties/pies from their in-store bakery. Their cheese/onion muffins - and other flavours - nobody else seems to do them cheap.

I used to be able to get instant chocolate custard (M brand) there too, but the one down this way doesn't do that

Wind-up fail, I'm afraid. Occasional pics of food - quite interesting. Random pics of food several times a week over several months - irritating.



Talking of food... I have the best next-door neighbours. Earlier this evening I was just wondering what to do for food when they phoned to say their girls had decided they weren't hungry and only eaten one slice of pizza each, so as a family they had loads left over and would we mind coming round and eating it for them...

That's huge - are you expecting a coach party?

Today I've had two Weetabix and two crumpets. Both courtesy of Mr T's Everyday Essentials ranges. Total spend is about 25p including the milk/sugar on the cereal.

EDIT:
I was a bit bored so looked up the recipe, recipe online says a 28cm dish. Area of that would be 615 cm sq. My cheesecakes I buy, individuals, are 7cm, which have an area of 38 cm sq. So one of those is 16 of my cheesecakes.... or a year's worth

Even the online recipe says "serves 10" .... so I won't be making one any time soon.

I haven't had any so I cannot tell you whether its good or not. DH is going to have some soon. Resident parent has eaten about a six of it. My guess is what will happen is this...DH will eat a piece tonight, some will get eaten for breakfast , or a coffee snack tomorrow by both.

If something is transportable by train it gets taken to London o
N Mondays, minus some for parent through the week. Of not and its freezable it gets frozen for parent.

If not freezable parent is thrilled.

Other things get baked knowing that I have someone on for coffee at the beginning of the week ahead.

I wanted to see how much cooking time this would actually take. Its so quick it would be a really good thing to so with left over blackberries (which is what I had after making 'them' a crumble yesterday, ) midweek for supper, because the pastry could be baked in the morning while one showered, and the throwing together of the middle took barely minutes. About half the time the pastry took to cook.

It doesn't really inspire me, I have to say, but its better than crumble IMO. (I'm not a big crumble fan). And quicke, and not much is quicker than crumble!
