Yawn yawn, wakey wakey Winter 2019 CLOSED

Good morning all my friends have a lovely Sunday and keep smiling my friends

Hello @Upsydaisy no my friend these are mine got them for Christmas

 

It may sound as though I was joking but the sock thing was a proper old folklore way of curing sore throats. They used to take the well worn socks, put them round their throat and tie them in place with a scarf.

The old boy who used to come round on his bike to sharpen our garden tools (and knives, if you let him) always used it when he had a sore throat and said it worked like a charm!

 

I hope they were full of sweets.

 

Aloha everyone,

We have family coming today so I've plenty of cooking to do. I've mad a big pan of French onion soup (takes too long to do it on the day) and the village shop is baking some nice French bread for us.

It will be nothing too complicated. Roast chicken done with garlic and herbs, extremely crispy roast potatoes, Brussels sprouts (bought them on the stick ), stir fried mangetout and carrots with a hint of fresh ginger, my own version of Melanzane alla Parmigiana (aubergine, tomato, courgette and parmesan bake) and stuffed peppers (already done). Apple crumble (gluten, sugar and dairy free), blackberry mousse - both of those from home grown fruit and already made - and fresh fruit salad (mango, pineapple, papaya, nectarines and melon).

Keep well and have a great day

Aloha!

 

Hello playmates I to have prepared the Sunday lunch,peeled the potatoes,prepared the brussels(put tiny crosses in them) peeled carrots ,prepared the broccoli,chicken also ready and have taken the breakfasts up to Mrs Woo and Daughter,now to have some porridge 40g and a few Raspberries then I shall take Penny out for a walk.I don't know an Owls work is never done enjoy your day my friends

 

That's more exotic than mine as I just have porridge without the fruit I don't know how much I have but shall now have to go and weigh it. Three heaped dessert spoons full.

 

Yes @shiney chocolate mice

 

I've just done my usual precise measuring of my porridge (spoon in pot, lift out and dump in pan - three times) but I weighed the result this time.

37g

 

Hello @shiney my friend I hope that is with water and no milk or sugar

 

@wiseowl not quite. It's with half water and half B.O.B. and three drops of Stevia (it's the proper Stevia and not the adulterated, with artificial sweeteners, version you can buy in the UK).

B.O.B. is a different milk as explained by the company that produces it:-

Arla B.O.B is a lovely little ray of sunshine in the dairy aisle - a fat-free skimmed milk that tastes as full-flavoured as semi-skimmed
