The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

See WD's Mrs Hinch thread but I was pondering tonight's meal and wondered this.

When did macaroni cheese become pasta bake? Sometimes it came in a tin to eat with toast. Very continental. 😄

The gardeners have just been.
Considering the 'orrible weather they have done a good job.

Morning. I had an early night and a restless sleep. Sore and stiff this morning but I’ll try and keep moving. Much milder and some rain due soon so I’ll just head out shortly for a gentle wander.

We have a new series of The Split starting tonight with Nicola Walker so I’ll enjoy that.

Owdo

Is that the one where aged just 12, she was the one who had to suddenly grow up, pick up the pieces, try to get her devastated mother out of bed and her younger sisters to school and nursery?

I seem to have lost my emojis etc. The whole bar has gone very pale/faint.
Any ideas ?

The earliest known recorded recipe was scribbled down in 1769.

Means you get a second chance to watch it later. You can then say what "you think will happen" and be proved correct.

No spoilers if you're early.

In recent times the name has changed to Mac and Cheese.
Another Americanism.

My Mum always did a nice version but always added sausage and mushrooms.

It seems to be damp and miserable across the country so I thought I'd give you all a touch of spring. Two Hellebores from the garden. The white one we've had for years and the pics were taken 30 seconds apart from different angles. The crimson/ruby was a 40th Wedding Anniversary gift two years ago. I decided to continue growing it in a pot so we can have it by the back door to enjoy every time we go in or out. 57 flowers this year.
