Bit a lunch dilemma here today...
Do I put the grated cheese on top of the beans on toast, directly on the toast then cover it with the beans, or stir it into the beans whilst heating them?

:unsure:

All three?

I’ve gone with the grated cheese atop the beans, but I put the HP sauce on before the cheese was sprinkled on.
:hungry:

Yesterday I was at my Mother's house. I raided the cupboard in which she keeps the alcohol. Her days of drinking alcohol are over,(imo), because of all her medication, and her health problems. None of the bockles have a "best before" date on them. There are two bockles of White Zinfandel, but the contents look pink. :scratch: Does that sound right?

I also raided the cooking ingredients cupboard, and brought home some plastic tubs or packets of sugar and rice. Again, no "best before" dates on them. One packet of sugar is still sealed, so should be okay. One container has dark brown sugar in it that has hardened into lumps, I shall try it in my coffee. One tub of rice contains what I assume is short grain rice that is a sort of light brown colour. What sort of rice is that, does anyone know please?

The reason for the raids on the qt, is that there are lots of ingredients that will not be used. Instead of having a lot of food to sort, I am doing it gradually, and using what I can.

Clearing out my mother's bungalow before she came to live with us was much like that! We've a number of tins of chicken soup and jars of ginger marmalade.

There's been some kind of incident on the main road through the village so all the rush hour traffic/trucks et c the traffic had been diverted/is generally trying to find a way through our street. Our street is fairly wide, but of course a large chunk of that width is taken up by about sixteen people storing their property so that's reduced the width to the point that two cars can't quite pass.

Naturally all the drivers think their journey is by definition the most important, so they're trying to push through, and once someone is forced to give way then all the cars coming in the other direction are pushing past and they get stuck.

And then a truck comes along and he's a bit slower, so of course the stuck car tries to move a bit further...

As usual, pavements have become a part of the road, and as usual our local police are turning a blind eye...

Still, we're getting a grandstand view of the chaos. I just hope the blockage doesn't mean someone has been seriously hurt.

Yesterday evening, on taking my exercise, I noticed traffic outside our house was rather slow. It had a simple cause, our road and another, both quite busy, feed into a third and a short way down a car had broken down. On the completion of my walk, about half an hour later, the AA were there.
