Tea? (Part 1)

[Landslide]

Well, my legs (and Dalestar's) have made it round a lovely (if rather blowy) ride, and Im brewing up. Anyone else?

Just a quick one, I should go home and think about roasting some parsnips...

Now if there was ever an opportunity for smut and innuendo... must resist.. must resist...

I was thinking about doing something fancy with a cutlet, too.

You dirty, dirty woman!

And tomorrow, I shall have liver and bacon...

(Been clearing the freezer box out to defrost it)

I had a sausage at lunchtime. Well, three!

 

[wafflycat]

Three sausages? At once? Good grief!

 

[Arch]

Three sausages? At once? Good grief!

They were quite slender ones. I slathered them in ketchup between two bits of bread....

Been trying to think whether to give anything up for Lent. Not for religious reasons really, it's more a test of willpowere, which seem to be getting slacker as the years go by.

Trouble is, I'm living so frugally, I don't have much to give up. Thought about chocolate, as I do tend to have a choccy digestive with my lunch or for the odd snack. Making it a plain digestive, or a ginger nut, would do. Other wise, I don't treat myself much. When a treat is so rare, it's almost harder to deny it.

I did think of something else, and that would have the advantage of saving on batteries too...

When does Lent start? Or what I really want to say is, when do I have an excuse to have pancakes for tea?

Pancake day is the coming Tuesday...

Tom and I hosted a pancake party for fellow students once, we spent all evening making pancakes (avoids use of word tossing) and had to send people out for more eggs and flour. After a couple of hours we realised neither of us had had a pancake yet - everytime we made one, a plate appreared to receive it and it was gone!

 

[HelenD123]

To my shame, I've only recently learnt to make pancakes. My early attempts used to resemble scrambled egg. Anyway, looks like I've got another excuse to practise on Tuesday then.

 

[Arch]

Will you go for just classic or have lots of fillings on hand? I'm going round to a friend's house, so I expect we'll have variety...

 

[HelenD123]

I was thinking of the classic sugar or honey with lemon. But you've got me thinking... I like savoury pancakes as well so could have some vegetables in cheese sauce perhaps? It'll be whatever I can conjure up from the contents of the fridge I think.
