You didn’t even get any of your cake :scream:

No. There’s no kind of English custard over here like that. I would say a custard over here is like a flan. Not a sauce. A more solid substance like a pudding. But not a Yorkshire type pudding.

The times I been over there I would rather a huge jug of the custard and the heck with the cake or whatever.

We stayed up in Matlock? Derbyshire? Once with the boys soccer team. At Lea Green and each dessert they always had a pitcher of custard on the table. It was so good.

On a separate note the boys sure got a kick out of the “Spotted Dick” on the specials board in the pubs. I guess they were 12-13. Fun times. Really was.

Ya that really sucks. I hope you didn’t actually need them in your recipe. Avocados can be so hit or miss. And they aren’t cheap.

We have 28 chickens. For my week of farm duties, dependent on the time of year, I get 5 to 15 dozen a week. :chicken: :egg: :egg:

We can. At least I can, like at Whole Foods or Sprouts. Or even the big grocery stores market it. But it just isn’t the same. You can market or advertise anything on your label over here and it doesn’t have to be true.

“Local” is still relatively commercial egg operations. I like my happy free-ranging girls. I don’t like the families I co-op with. :smirk:

Oh it was good! Wish I could actually cook like this tho lol

It doesn’t get sadder than this. I buy only green and store in a paper bag until ready - and still I get this sometimes.

@Dazercat I wanted to tell you that my Lupita is happily enjoying her home cooked food. We have tested it and she just won’t eat her regular food now without the added bonus. I am absolutely okay with that, it’s healthy for her and it gives me something to do.

thank you!!! I have long argued that hummus (and gf crackers, veg, apple, whatever) is a good, well-rounded breakfast!
And hey, when I was still working from the office, it just kept my colleagues more than a safe social distance away! :laughing:

Watched Goodfellas and made spaghetti and meatballs.:spaghetti: I couldn’t have the pasta, so I ate meatballs on a gluten-free baguette. I wish I had remembered to take a plate picture. We were too hungry!

Managed (barely) some baked salmon with shallots and grape tomatoes. It’s tasty.
