It's the cucumbers that are taxing my brain at the moment sal. I don't fancy pickling them and they don't keep well once picked. Think I've counted 17 today which could all be ready within days of each other. A bumper crop:)

TM this is a fab way for using up cucumbers and lasts for 18 months or more, that is if you can resist eating it.
SWEET & SOUR CUCUMBER
3 large cucumbers
3 large onions
50g salt
570ml white wine vinegar
450g soft brown sugar
1/2 level teaspoon tumeric
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon mustard seeds

Very thinly slice cucumbers with skin on & onions.Layer cucs & onions in large colander, sprinkling each layer with salt, put plate on top with a heavy weight on. Leave for 3 hours. Then drain and squeeze as much liquid out as possible.
Put vinegar, sugar & spices in large pan and stir over heat till sugar has dissolved, add drained cucumber & onion and simmer uncovered for 1 minute. Remove onion & cucumber with slotted spoon and put in prepared jars. Boil the liquid mixture uncovered for 15 minutes, pour into jars, seal. Best left for a month before eating.

We eat loads of this and my sister & mum make it too.

Morning all and thanks to Chris for the new thread

How many accounts are you playing with to win on the Higgidy thing? I've not seen a single thing worth catching on that game yet!

Morning lovely people - weather is a bit iffy, sunshine and then windy.

I shut down the main computer last night so would have minimal distraction this morning, still not powered up.

Visitor due on Wednesday do this is my one day for getting ready, it's taken me 5 hours so far - stripped and remade 3 beds so visitor has a choice of bedrooms, 2 washing loads as a result, cleared bathroom of dryed laundry and undies and stuffed as much as I could back into the wardrobe so visitor does not make comments about all the clothes hanging around making the bedrooms look like a tarts boudoir , rearranged things in the stash under the bed, under the stairs and the food cupboard incase visitor has a inspection and checks the expiry dates, made a pile for foodbank, Oxfam and freecycle - study now looks a mess with various piles in readiness.

Another pile of items accumulated from the stash requested by visitor :rotfl:
Vacuumed

As much as you love them visitors twice a year is more than plenty
Now enjoying a cup of tea while I catch up, them another while I read back, then another cup of tea while I write letter for eldest son - now back in Cyprus with no wi fi, hour long phone calls not quite the same so I write old fashioned letters every week :T

The main question today is are we off to visit Asda this afternoon?
