Must have been a patient man indeed!



The grandad I remember best would have been 135 in November. He was 70 when I was born and he lived long enough to see my firstborn. A grand old soldier he was.



I have been 'on the go' since 7.00am and am now taking a well deserved break by doing my messaging on here! :-D

Its my paternal grandads birthday today....He would have been 109 if he was still alive..
Still miss him,he was a cuddly loving,listening grandad with all the patience in the world for his granddaughter(meee).. :-D

Hello Gracie!

Isn't this the wrong time of day for you to be on here, or am I getting confused again? :-D

VERY nice to see you anyway!

How is your 'little one' ?

Dea x

hello everyone, hope you have had a nice weekend.

Had a nice quiet one, the football team I follow has made it into the Grand Final (huge event if you are in Melbourne)!, then went for a tour at an open day of a new emergency call taking facility, very swish and then polished the afternoon off by ordering a new dresser so I can finally display the china I have collected over the years, and a bookshelf.

Glad Sylvia is on the mend and Persie the breakfasts sound really nice. :-)

Well guess you can have a large morning tea...

I am off to bed. An hour has disappeared out of my life and will have to wait ages to get it back again. ;-)

:-\ :-\

I could eat it all right now

I liked the look of the food at Kitchen Sheffield.. Gins ... that's why I put some on the menu.

I see Ja...x more on FB or looking for rellies for people than I do on here... and then she keeps different hours from the rest of you.

Thanks Jonesey - those trial details ARE interesting aren't they??

I would be interested to hear if you find anything - must try and have a look myself if I can find some time.

Dea Xxx

Pers I had

TOMATO AND GOAT'S CHEESE TART
BLACK OLIVE TAPENADE, HERB SALAD

I dont like goats cheese but I always keep giving it a go....this was so mild and yummy

I cant remember what my mains was called but it was a pasta but looked like pastry folds fillied with stuff in it....it was amazing

JB had

DIXIE'S THREE LITTLE PIGS
CHEEK, FILLET, BELLY, APPLE, ONION GRAVY

Dea we went out early so were only in the place for a couple of hours although the others had been in the pub from 4pm! And the good thing is that it is only down the road so we can walk

And the wine was fab too

Apricots and peaches with a hint of spice

Dea,

I took a look at those gaol delivery records on Ancestry that you provided the link to. As you said, very interesting. Those accused seem to have committed offences ranging from attempted buggery to murder including just about everything else in between. The judge did indeed appear to have his lenient wig on that day. More facts will probably have been reported in the newspapers of the day. When I get chance I will take a look.

Thanks to Robert and Persie. I will pass those tips on to my son.

OOhhh - thank goodness you added that correction Persie! - I have just searched through my kitchen for any sign of three little pigs hiding away in there but could find no trace of them :-D :-D

Lovely breakfast again - I will take some of everything please (except the pig's cheek, which is VERY popular in Spain, but not with me :-|)

There is enough here to keep me happy ALL day...........................

Thanks Persie,

Dea Xxx <3

Plate........crumpets..................yum.............coffee........hot........gulp......

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>gotta go.....tain't my day of rest...........thanks Persie.



Where's our ja...x ?



You okay sunshine?

You can have a lie in on Sunday Breakfast is served, I hadn't forgotten I was rustling my bustle getting it ready:

From Kitchen Sheffield :

Toasted goats cheese with plum relish.

Three cheese & potato pie with spinach, and walnut dressing.

Dea's three little pigs - cheek, fillet, belly, apple, onion gravy.

From Kitchen Persie:

Torte rustica alla ricotta.

Layered toasted panini or flat bread with hummus, roasted tomatoes, crispy bacon and chopped coriander. Add to this baby veges, boiled eggs and creamy feta and you have Sunday Brunch.

Pan fried falafel, or chicken or lamb pieces, warm pita pockets split and spread with hummus.... Stuff with falafel, salad greens or tabbouleh and garlic infused yoghurt or chilli sauce.

Couscous with asparagus and toasted pistachios.

From Kitchen Dea:

Platters of fresh hams and cheeses

Fresh scones, strawberry jam and clotted cream

Crispy bacon, Eggs, any which way you want them , sausages, grilled tomatos and mushrooms, fried bread

Toast, crumpets, danish pastries, croissants, (gluten free bread if required)

Errata : should read " Dixie's three little pigs"
Not sure how such a mistake occurred.

Cereals, coffee etc on the counter...

Persie
:-) :-) :-)

I'll give the snake venom a miss thanks anyway Pers!

I think google is wonderful, I no longer need a medical dictionary. You need medical knowledge if you read Kathy Reichs. It has been an invaluable insight into other books I have read as well.
I have a great reference library but with google I don't use it nearly as much as I used to.

I am watching a chap getting the venom from cobra snakes... don't think we will have that on our cornflakes thanks. Don't normally watch afternoon TV..ooh yuk now I am looking at snake bites...

The other night was watching A & E and had to laugh, one of the triage nurses had to ring someone to say she had discharged someone (ie ticked them off the schedule) before she had seen them. Reckon I could do that no probs.

More fun than trying to retrieve balls out of your gutter.. now that would be painful. ;-) :-S

Our clocks have changed so at the moment I am exactly 12 hours ahead of the Brits and three hours ahead of Eastern Australia... never know what I am with WA and they don't even change their clocks.

Persie who will probably raid Dea's kitchen as she had such a good supply of food yesterday. :-)

Pers.................youve forgot to leave breakfast ;-)

One non-sauce option is to mix in red pepper flakes and minced garlic (or garlic powder). Adding some oil and vinegar to taste will achieve the pepper and garlic flavor of the chili bean paste. Adjust your portions from what is called for using chili bean paste, as you can achieve more with less with red pepper flakes.

I am not that smart I got it from :
http://www.ehow.com/list_7366269_chili-bean-paste-substitutes.html

It has other ideas about how to make it with shallots as well.

Does anyone know the equivalent of chilli bean paste?

Sylvia do get well soon.

You are missed.
