I hope not but look what lm having a sure sign of change in air 😟

[AgedCrone]

Oooh ! I love crumpets....will get some tomorrow.I think you are right...Autumn is upon us!

[Nsmith13 in reply to AgedCrone]

Very moorishhhhhhhhj lol

[Downtime]

Love a buttered crumpet !

[Nsmith13 in reply to Downtime]

Just had an urge !'!!! Very nice 🤗

[Hidden]

I need to try crumpets as they look yummy

[Gnarli in reply to Hidden]

You just need to ensure they are well toasted. That way the butter and jam, or spread of choice, melt into a gooey delight. Enjoy!

[Hidden in reply to Gnarli]

And salted butter yes?

May sweet chutney

[Gnarli in reply to Hidden]

Of course. I can't stand margarine but it's pretty much down to what you like best. My view is that, if you're going to eat something so calorific, you may as well go the whole hog

[Hidden in reply to Gnarli]

I am going to order food on line today and will try them with local butter. Oh my swollen hands today.

Maybe it is as I washed up so much yesterday. I knew that I should have let child 🧒 labour do it as they love to wash up. Maybe they can make crumpets too

[Gnarli in reply to Hidden]

They're very easy to make but home made don't last as long as shop bought

[Nsmith13 in reply to Hidden]

Potato cakes are nice as well just pop them in toaster , easy to make zena could have a go keep her busy

[Nsmith13 in reply to Hidden]

Have you not got a dishwasher in that lovely cottage ?!?? Better find yourself a good all round helper to do your washing cleaning cooking etc they are usually quite good people who live in rural villages helping each other think another woman might upset zena she is having me time with dad 🤗

[Hidden in reply to Nsmith13]

My dishwasher is just seven and only works part time, I think it is fairy cake day but we have to bury a bubble bee 🐝 first in a matchbox lined with cotton wool and say a prayer 🙏

Honestly I meant bumblebee

[Nsmith13 in reply to Hidden]

Had she got a fairy garden I will put a pic up of mine at bottom of the garden you can put 🐝They will sort it out

[Hidden in reply to Nsmith13]

A huge playroom in the barn

[Nsmith13 in reply to Gnarli]

I've started something now what abt potato cakes dripping in butter lovely 🤣

[Gnarli in reply to Nsmith13]

This rotten disease has stolen so much from me, including my appetite apparently.

[Nsmith13 in reply to Gnarli]

Yes I know it's nasty that's why a bit of what you fancy does you good ok 😇

[nomoreheels]

Nom nom. Well toasted, dripping with butter & a little peanut butter. A rare treat.

[Gnarli]

To be honest, I can't stand crumpets anymore. It's the thought of all that fat. My tastes have cetainly changed a lot recently

[Hidden in reply to Gnarli]

I remember as a child beef dripping on toast hmmmmm

[Gnarli in reply to Hidden]

Oh yuk. They call dripping "mucky fat" round here. The very thought is making my stomach churn. Sorry

[Hidden in reply to Gnarli]

It had a salted jelly and beef taste

[Gnarli in reply to Hidden]

Yup. That's it

[Nsmith13 in reply to Hidden]

Yep that's it on bread toasted , and fried bread after you've cooked bacon yummy

[Nsmith13 in reply to Hidden]

I always use lurpak it's the best

[nomoreheels in reply to Nsmith13]

Nooo, Kerrygold. Irish butter is the best!

[Hidden in reply to nomoreheels]

I only use Devon local produce but will try the others on my next on line shop

[Nsmith13 in reply to Hidden]

I can imagine it's really lovely but lurpak does it for me and when my hands are sore it's so easy to spread straight from fridge I could not spread butter now with RA , just fancy a fairy bun now 😋

[Smiler53 in reply to Hidden]

Oh yum! Loved toast and bread with beef dripping when I was little.

[Nsmith13]

What abt eggy bread or is that posh for French toast ??????? With sugar I'm goin to make pancakes later better get some lemon or maple syrup 🙀

[thelmar]

Just off to add these to the shopping list! Thick butter and raspberry jam are the essential accompaniments.

[Hidden in reply to thelmar]

We made our fairy cakes and chocolate rice crispies too

As for the bee he is buried In a matchbox at the church yard

[VeronicaF]

oh I wish I could eat all that but I have notied unless I stick to plain foods I get more pain

oh how I miss my old life before RA
