Ivyleaf, at least you know what's in your home made casserole!

I remember Ria Silva I used to watch it with the offspring. Thankfully only my son who "didn't eat tomatoes" apart from ketchup and things that didn't look like tomatoes was my only critic. I can still picture him glaring at me if he found a recognisable tiny piece in homemade bolognaise..


Carla is much missed here in the north. She had such talent and left her money to animal welfare in the NW. No animal is pts if they can be saved. We sometimes visit one of her charity shops, bit of a journey but lovely staff. The Carla Lane Centre is wonderful. Lots of rescues and teaching people to cook etc a lovely community.

I remember Ria and her cooking.

Wasn't Nicholas Lyndhurst one of the sons? He later became Rodney Trotter.

Ah, RIP Trigger, he was priceless. Especially his original 22 year old sweeping brush that had had various new heads and handles!

I often buy the Aldi spatchcock chicken I find them very tasty.

Well winter seems to be here now and it's good to see the last of that awful rain. Been a really wet year somehow. Nice frosty mornings lately and we had a dusting of snow overnight.
The RV is ill, he has to have a triple bypass very soon - they said probably not this week coming but the next one. So we're trying to organise things so that I can do everything he currently does. Right now he can't do anything at all without getting bad angina. Cleaning out the stove and bringing in coal is a !!!!!!, trying to force a big shovel into a coalhouse and then lug it up 4 steep steps is knocking hell out of my shoulders and knees! Best way I've found so far is to fill a couple of supermarket carrier bags and leave them on the back step, then just bring them in and dump the whole lot on the fire.
And the Propane froze and I had to make a wee cover for the top of the cylinder to insulate it. He laughed because I knitted it then we put the bottom of a 6pint milk carton over the top to keep it dry.
It's all go up here now

Mar, hope the RV will be much improved once he's had his op and you manage to stop him doing much until then...

I didn't think propane froze?? Is that the red one? we used to have it in our caravan - but :rotfl: at knitting a cover for it..

I'm off for a day's volunteering today - hedgelaying along a preserved steam railway. Today's weather looks heaps better than yesterday's, which was very wet at first - though the waterproofs did what they are supposed to do..:T

I stopped peeling potatoes for mash a few years back, I just call it "rustic".
