Not gravy. I think that train is still running.
Yes that has always puzzled me also as there is absolutely nothing wrong with admitting you do not understand.
People are afraid that others will think them foolish, but in fact to fail to understand and then get it wrong is foolish.
Oh no - I love flaked almonds sprinkled on my breakfast. I will be gutted if the food police lock them up and throw the key away. I shall be gluing myself to the road in protest.
Yes, you are right @Annb. This is especially true on our training sessions. We would be throwing money down the drain if we didn't fully understand, especially as our courses are not cheap.
OK you can have an exemption - maybe I'll add Cumberland sausages or fluffy (this is how to spell cardboard) Yorkshires instead just to make up the numbers What are flaked almonds doing in mincemeat anyway? sorry Delia. I can eat whole almonds but flaked ones are just wrong.
I can't eat almonds, flaked or otherwise and always make my own mincemeat (without sucrose, but with plenty of fruit) but no nuts at all. I don't think they belong in mincemeat. I'm with you about Cumberland sausages - so long since I had Yorkshire pudding that I can't really remember what they were like. I do remember being given the task of mixing the batter for an aunt but I don't remember tasting it. I preferred the dumplings my mother used to make (cooked in gravy or on top of stew).
This is a keto beef stew - works best with Ox cheek imho - and dumplings recipe we have made. I was drawn to this as I like dumplings baked, or a separate suet crust topping as we do. Steamed puddings and soft dumplings were on my avoid list from an early age. For some reason mum always made them on Thursday. Since I wouldn't eat them my grandfather would always find a pretext to drop in at meal time.
Thanks Ian.
That looks like a very tasty stew. Ian.
It's very English to admit your wrong, now in the States the American birders find it difficult admitting they are wrong and if there is something hard to ID they pretend they can't see it.
It's been dry here yesterday and today, Lamont.
You have have to be careful with stew Ian! If I remember correctly someone sold his birthright for some stew.
I have a live and let live attitude with cyclists, they are not too bad in Cumbria. In Wigton some of the youngsters ride on the wrong side and the paths are too narrow to use in places. Their parents should make them wear safety hats, but many don't.
This was yesterday morning - RNLI were not interested, better things to do.
Beautiful abstract reflecting the menagerie that is your garden
