WET, WET,WETTER, whow When will it stop,a day in today seems to be the call, so can really sort out my jam making, have reached the stage when i believe I have enough for the moment, but I am when the weather permits me to going to have a go at crab apple jelly, I recall our neighbour a young lassie in the early days when we lived in Ash rise made some and kindly gave us some it was delicous, Close by brixworth their is on the main harborough rd, the remainsof an old orchard, which I have often stopped and picked some very good apples, in days gone by, they would I believe go towards making a very nice "superior type"of the recipe so till then my thoughts are turning towards making more chutney we both made some earlier this with good results,,
so am studying my library book(I have borrowed it since May time) and am renewing it today, my librarian says unless someone else request it then one can renew as many times as one likes,
Take advantage of reading it and the weather, lets make chutney, loved a programme we watched on BBC tv last night called "The great British waste menu" remarkable but sad to realise just how much food is wasted here in Britain just because so much is considered that, it just is not good looking enough, to big, or to small to meet the rigid demands of so many of the major supermarket chains, big business etc, tragic in a world were so many are dieing through lack, what a srange world WE make sometimes very illuminating, the banquet was given to an invited audience of somewhere around two hundred or so, with food that was all taken from supermarket refuse, restaurants.aand even ordinary homes, it was very sad but with much to think on particuarly in these days of recession,where all are looking to cut costs, much food (No pun intended) for thought very very interesting indeed, one of tv's better proggies, tatty bye for now PtP.
