I'm with you on that Jan he does do us lots of favours and is always on hand, I don't know how he manages to do so much for us and do his job as well, Jem the Gem:D I've left some sugar free jellies and large pot of cream in the fridge. Maybe the girl's have stopped laying because they're going to moult is that what (was it SD) said would happen ? Also sorted my paper basket today so left a pile of magazines on the table, sorry just normal weekly mags no smut, although some juicy stories and dirt dishing.

A www dropping in the shed for a whole hour of magazine reading tomorrow ..
I have not read a magazine for years .. What a great idea ..x
 
Packets of jelly in waitrose .. £99p sugar free .. Very nice .. Left a few in the cupboard something for the Sunday treat ..
 
Thick, hot steaming custard more comes to mind as I sit down the garden......bit chilly....gawd knows what's going on over t'other side if brook....sounds Luke a gang trashing something.....ooh, sirens, may be right....:mad::mad::mad::mad:
 
Hi Ladies, a couple of weeks and the pumpkins will be ready, have put some more straw round them to protect them from the cold and wet, yes we can over winter them in a dry cool place providing they are on a bed of straw or a couple of bits of cardboard and out of the frost, a covered veranda or the garage is fine if the temp is going below 0 then cover with straw or an old towel to stop frostbite, I've found old jumpers/cardies/woollies are ideal for this.
Animal feed delivered and the bins are full, have had a good look in the coup and no sign of mites on the chickens but have powdered the place anyway better safe than sorry, they are beginning to look a bit scruffy so moulting is underway but they should be over it in a couple of weeks and egg delivery will be back,
Had some of the jelly with a couple of those wonderful cake/biccies and cream so yummy, have washed the pot and put it in the carrier bag ready for reusing. later ladies.

Ooh, in that case I'll sort my old stuff out....favourites where zips have gone and don't warrant a new one yet still can't bear to chuck them...usually end up as "decorating" clothes.....for the amount I do will last til am 90.....;) but will I? ;)
 
Mayb we can have a pumpkin party when a few are ready.....scoop the flesh between us and make all the food using pumpkin as main ingredient....start looking for recipes and pin them on notice board as you find them.....
 
I love pumpkin soup, thick and filling, just pumpkin and onions cooked together then add a dollop of cream when served oooooooh yum.

Never eaten pumpkin, is it like squash? My DIL can make amazing Halloween things out of them but she's never cooked it either so I thought we could use what she cuts out to make something tasty

Spicy pumpkins .. Just cut in cubes like potatoes .. Only if you like spices ..
Garlic ginger .. Fresh tomatoes ...
Cumin seeds chilli powder
Cumin power coriander powder ..
Bit of water in the pot when things get cooking ... All very nice .. There are many variations .. That's the basic .. You can adapt ..
Takes only a few mins to cook ..
Serve with a lite bread .. Or something of choice ..

I to love soup ..
Pumpkins .. With sweet freedom .. The low sugar of maple syrup , would work as a desert ..

Really, I always thought it would taste a bit bland but if you can make a sweet tart well.... on the other hand it's probably high carb:banghead: bought some plastic short tumblers today and filled them with crushed meringue, whipped cream & raspberries...Eaton mess with raspberries they're in the shed fridge, ingredients only ran to seven so it's first there gets them

Pumpkin is nice sweet .. I would use sweet freedom , and cook the pumpkin like mash .. Then eat it warm .. I wouldn't worry about the pastry ..
Shot glasses , what a great idea ..
 
Hi all I just thought I'd let you know. If It does not have a drill some spanners and a few nails . It's not a shed
