Anyhow, my need for coffee has caused a knackered shoulder to get much worse. I stopped off at Lidl on the way home from work for a few bits and they had their cheap coffee offer on again which meant that my backpack was full, but it didn't stop me calling at the 2nd one in town for a few more pcks. These went into a carrier type bag and I set off from the shop only for the bag the get caught between the wheel & forks resulting in an instant stop and me landing on my elbow sending the shock straight up to the shoulder. Doesn't appear to be any damage that I can feel, just very sore & limited movement.

Any chance of the recipe?

To add to my collection. I have well over a hundred different Lebkuchen recipes, dating back to the 1890s. Though my go-to recipe is a Bavarian one from the 1930s.

No, that was a jealously guarded secret she was going to reveal to me, but she went into dementia before she could do so.

The past few pages of this thread have been worse than being at work - my boss talks about nothing other than fishing and food and insists on showing everybody pictures of the fish he's caught and the meals he's cooked. Nobody else in the office cares!

I have a boss like that at work, and we think he's a gem. But we all talk about sports cars and cooking and weather.

Time for me to toddle off to bed.

Ouch! Still, coffee would just be a cee without an off in the middle.

Morning all. I'll whisper it so as not to wake those having a lie in.

Oh yeah, I forgot eels! But aren't they endangered now?

Aren't we all ?

 

[PeteXXX]

Has anyone been to the pub, yet, this morning? Or going later?
I haven't, and I'm not!

Catfish-some people love them, I hear. That just wouldn't be me. Although I am more of a seafood eater myself. Shame I live more than 800 miles from an ocean anymore...

I have been waiting for the subject of salt water in contrast to fresh water fish. I love fish but the only "fresh"water one worth eating is a sea trout when caught running up a river to spawn, in my opinion. Mind you l am totally biased because when was a young lad ( many, many years ago ) l worked on an East coast drifter from Boston Lincs. fishing in the Wash . We were after shrimp which were boiled on board the boat , spread out in nets to dry then packed in long thin sacks to be sent off to London . Any fish which were caught accidentally in the nets we were allowed to keep . Nothing better than a flat fish straight from the sea into boiling water for a minute or two then devoured with some bread and butter ( sea air is a great appetite booster).
The boat was the Nellie and Leslie .. she was sold to some wooden boat enthusiasts and restored . She is now in Germany l think.

Debating whether I can summon the energy to go back inside & make a 2nd coffee, run out of semi-skimmed milk so may have to have toast.

Another rainy day in prospect with high winds forecast for tomorrow with possibly damage to buildings and bridges.
Which reminds me of a couple of years ago we when had a horrendous downpour with thunder. My neighbour worked for the local council at that time and was told to go and check on the bridges on the side of Loch na Keal where I often cycle. He reported back in 4 words. " There are no bridges". People caught between the various bridges had to be rescued by boat as bits of the road had vanished also.

I made the coffee, then decided to do something & didn't drink it

Make a fresh one.

Drank it cold when I found it, funny that I would never go into Starosta to buy a cold coffee but will drink one I made
