MMMMM pulled pork barbeque sounds yummy!
Is it too complicated to post the ingredients/recipe?

Annie's Mac n Cheese white cheddar with shells pasta is my absolute
favorite.

Pull pork barbeque recipe from Slow Cookers for Dummies (that would be
me). Is a hit every time.

That is why MSM would put the spoon in to the cup and pour over the spoon.

I like my tea pale and delicate: our 'every day' tea is Earl Grey. I
also like other teas occasionally, but that is our standard! We use
bone china and porcelain for tea. You get a good big mug! Even the
queen would get a mug - I don't own any cups and saucers for tea!



Which Queen do you mean? Elizabeth II, or Patricia, Queen of
Everything?? L I hope you mean the latter, as I LOVE the Earl Gray tea.

ALL queens get good big mugs in this house!

Mmmm... tea... Must put the kettle on!

I have my Gran's kettle. When she married he father asked what she wanted
for a wedding gift - her request was for a cooper kettle.
She used it many years and now it's mine. I no longer use the kettle to
make tea, but it's on display and I do
love that old kettle. It's almost 100 years old.

Lamb and lentil soup tonight!

This is a made up soup, not a recipe, and this is what went into it:

The end of Sunday's half leg of roast lamb
about half a pint of rich gravy from the roast
about 3 pints of vegetable stock

Those got pressure cooked together for 30 minutes, and then I fished the
bones and meat out, deboned it, and shredded the meat to put in again
later...

Into the stock went:
1 large onion
a crushed clove of garlic
1 large red pepper
half a large courgette (left from lunchtime salad)
3 over ripe tomatoes
2 sticks of celeryabout 5 oz mushrooms
1 large carrot
a handful of mixed herbs
a good shake of tobasco
a teacup of little red lentils.

That got about 20 minutes to cook and then I zizzed it up with the hand
held blender and added the meat. We ate it with ciabata bread, and I
followed it with an apple.

Thank you. I just wish you could taste it - the whole house smelled
warm and welcoming, and it made a very good dinner. The remains are now
in the freezer for Saturday lunch.


As part of the birthday block exchange, I got a tin of Old Bay
Seasoning: it's wonderful! I have been using it in my butternut
squash soup, and it makes a very nice spicy change from the original
ground cumin. I have also scattered a sprinkle on chicken, and need to
try the burger recipe on the tin. MOST bought burgers are an
abomination and richly deserve Jamie Oliver's scorn, but if I make them
myself, out of proper lean meat, they will be great.

I like my tea strong with a lot of sugar. Sweet tea! :-)

I can't drink it without sugar. DH says it is the same reason I don't like
"his" wine. You know, that dry stuff that sucks all the moisture out of
your mouth.

Tannic Acid.

I like my wine to taste as much like Kool Aid as possible.

We have the same taste in wines. I've got some lovely apple wine
bought from a local winery. They call it a desert wine, I just call
it wine. If you ever get a chance to try a meade, go for it. You
will love the sweetness.
