I'll still be using trucklements to denote the accompaniments to my truckle of cheese. It may catch on.

Supper is sorted. Tabbouleh made, veggies (butternut squash, courgette, onion and sweet peppers) chopped, and my 56p lamb shanks are coddled in the slow cooker with onion, garlic, apricots and ras-el-hanout. All I need to do later is pop the tray of veg into the oven to roast.
This was lovely. And I finished off with some figs and raspberries.

Actually, not quite...
A truckle of cheese is one that's barrel-shaped i.e. where it's taller than it is wide.
A wheel of cheese refers to one that's wider than it's tall - like the one I bought. It's about a foot wide and some three inches tall.
And then you have a ball of cheese, which applies to something like edam. And other names for those weirdly-shaped italian and spanish cheeses that look like dumbells...

This is the trouble with learning carpentry in Germany. What does it mean?
No, it's "waney edged", but wavy edged is a good description. It's just the bark and sapwood of the tree left in place, rather than a 4-square sawn board. Here they are:
I repaired floors in a couple of bedrooms with them, but their main purpose was for doors. I made these:
and I am currently making this:
You can see that I've changed the design from a 3 board door to a 4 board one.
I've also bought enough for worktops for a couple of Welsh dressers for the kitchen.

Morning. Now that I have had my hair cut I'm sure I will be able to shave seconds off my PB with my new error dynamic look. Which should comensate for the increased rest periods to get my breath back.
