Oops I Did It Again

Apple has always been used to stretch rhubarb, they make a good pairing.  However I think crumble (I'm obviously not a fan) is a waste of rhubarb.  I'd rather have rhubarb batter pudding.  I've never tried rhubaarb & apple batter pudding - now that is something I should think about!

It's from a very old Good Housekeeping cookery book that was given to me as a wedding present in 1969.  A good job because I didn't even know how to boil an egg.

@badmemory thank you! I'm jealous of your cook book too. I used to have the Stork one which was a good basic book but I lent my school cookery books to someone when I lived in London and she left them on the bus. I was gutted. The Stork one sells for about £30 now 😯

I've just found my mum's McDougalls home baking cookbook.  The recipes are so easy - nothing fancy but good basics and mostly store cupboard ingredients.

Good morning all. It's a house cleaning kind of day today. The HT has gone to college and his partner has gone home so time to crack on. There was no point doing cleaning yesterday while they were here to mess it up so I spent time on crochet, a couple of hours sorting best friend's paperwork with him, had coffee and did the crossword again with bf, then I worked for a bit. I fed everyone that showed up and the apple, cinnamon and rhubard crumble was tested and approved. 

As well as cleaning I have paid £15.67 extra off my loan today which has reduced the term by another month. I have overpaid the credit card by £220.00 so I'm happy with that after "expensive August" when I mostly spent money. 

My fifteen minute teabreak is nearly over. The washing machine has nearly finished load one (HT's bedding) so I'll put load number two on to wash while I carry on cleaning.

I nearly forgot.....best friend bought me some kitchen roll, toilet rolls and a bottle of gin when he called yesterday. It all helps and the gin lets me know that I'm appreciated 😊

What kind of gin?

CRANKY40

@Kakiste Strawberry and Lime Koppaberg. Not because it's a favourite, just because he likes to pick up different things for me to try.

Friends bearing gifts of gin are true friends indeed 😊
