As we are discussing baking and cakes etc, may I ask a question about baking trays, and roasting trays.

After about twenty years of loyal service, my baking tray and roasting trays are looking rather old and not very hygienic.

I definitely need a new tray for the bakement of scones. This presumably would also do for cooking oven chips etc. It seems that the prices vary enormousely, and I am a bit confused about the different sorts. "Non-stick" only stays non-stick until it gets scratched, so what sort do you have? I would hesitate to pay £40 for a Le Creuset one.

Wilkinsons finest, they're about a quid each so if you do knacker one it's not the end of the earth.

Chicken in a FF marinade and salad. You will have to ask him the finer details, all I know was that it had galangal and garlic in it.

Something he's trying to flog to KFC then

We wandered round a lovely Cornish garden this afternoon. A notice informed us that the odd bricks by a wall were homes for "solitary bees", ones that don't form social groups in hives and colonies. It said they couldn't harm us because their pointy bits couldn't penetrate human skin. They buzzed about in the air quite a bit. Twenty yards later, one of them stung me on the back of the neck. It hurt like hell. The little bastard.

I really ought not laugh.

I met somebody else a few minutes later who had befallen the same fate. While viewing some exotic ferns from New Zealand, the bare bones of a lucrative law suit formed shape. By the time we left the car park, it had become a mere WTF.

Reality strikes.

Back to joining the commuting herd today. I did try to have an early night but that was thwarted by Sashas desire to ensure I was pinned to the bed by her kneading paws. This occurred multiple times throughout the night.

One has to keep one's options open these days....

In no particular order: Soy sauce, Honey, Sriracha Chilli sauce (sweet-chilli works ok too), Chilli flakes, Galangal, Garlic, black Pepper.
Chicken thighs and marinade all added to a freezer bag, put in the fridge for several hours and regularly massaged.
It's a taste sensation!!!

That is an easy mistake to make. It is good to have somewhere to take her, that she can be pushed around in her lightweight wheelchair on the flat, and with no traffic.
She has someone who goes once a fortnight to do her garden, but she still, at the age of nearly 96, likes to have some plants in pots on her patio.

My mother, likewise, at 93 is still planting her beans. Or rather I had to plant them for her as she's not supposed to bend. Fortunately she can't see the weeds else she'd always be bending. Since she lives t'other side of the M25 on the South Coast it's a problem!

I bought fuel at £1.149p a litre today instead of 1.169p thus saving me nearly £1 for a tank.

I bought fuel at £114.9 at litre today instead of 116.9 thus saving me nearly £1 for a tank.

I assembled a BBQ yesterday, a gas one, to replace the succession of neighbors' cast-offs I have been using for some years.
