Having seen other's bin collection nightmares I'm deciding that ours is quite simple in comparison... some every week and some every other week such as the black bin.

I'm watching a programme about robots and was thinking. They are developing driver less cars and lorries. Will they get round to rider less bikes?
Good evening Mr Pot, how are you? Love Mr Kettle.

Just finished the last stage of making my crystallized pineapple. (Last boil in sugar syrup)
Got it drip-drying overnight on a cake rack, then all I need to do is roll it in caster sugar and dry it in the oven.
Now watching MOTD

That's fantastic. Hopefully, efficient as well. Here the recycling gets sorted at a depot. You just put out a 55 gallon bin whenever it's full, on your day of the week, and a truck with a lifting arm picks it up and dumps it in the big bin on the back of the truck, just like the garbage, which comes through about an hour before, same route.

I think my Aunties were as well, but someone swooped in and took her molds, which came from her husband's family, who were from GermanyMmmm
Most of the recipes I have use honey and muscovado sugar in varying combinations. Some use all honey, others use none at all. Mind, I have well over a hundred different Lebkuchen recipes, many of which are pre-war or even from the 19th century.

Oh, that's a shame...
The moulds are probably for Springerle and / or Spekulatius, I'd imagine.I just use basic heart, star or round cutters for my Lebkuchen, but if I can't be bothered, then I will either roll the dough into sausages and slice on the diagonal, or just roll walnut-sized balls and flatten slightly on the baking sheet.
I also have Belgian ancestry, and I make a pretty mean Speculoos as well.

I lost that, but when I married, I got Cornish Pasties regularly(including this evening), so I can't complain. Although if any complex baking is to be done, I usually do it. Although I have the old family cookbook, most of it written down during the war. I can tell, because I can tell the difference between Grandmas' handwriting and my Ma's (Decorative vs. businesslike undt efficient.)Oh, that's a shame...

Cornish pasties. Oooooo, lucky you.
The cookbook sounds fabby. I don't have anything like that, but I do have my own compilation of favourite recipes, bread formulas, clippings from newspapers / magazines etc.

Morning, it is dark with some frost on the cars at the moment.
That wine we had last night was strong.

Set off at just before seven, 20 miles later and my feet are blocks of ice. Just had the first snow too. Found a cafe in Deal serving soup at 8am. I'm having that....
