Rum and Raisin Banana cakes. Mandarin marmalade. I’ve been making all sorts of odd mixtures of jam and Quince paste. At Probus they give them out for Birthdays and as prizes. People donate small jars and excess fruit and I add something . I recently made mixed berry and rhubarb jam, and added Muscat to the Quince Paste. At meetings they openly discuss what they have tasted and are delighted with the unusual mixtures. I’m surprised.

Katie, have just finished ‘ A Spanner in the Works’ by Alice Anderson. Highly recommended. Now reading ‘Educated’ by Tara Westover. Have read 1/3, not liking it at all.
Men coming to finish Garden Room. Cleaner also coming.

Cookie, lovely way to spend a day.
Today, Tai Chi, book club and lunch and GS and friends for Dinner. White frost last night. Beautiful sunny morning. 3 loads of washing before Tai Chi. Crazy!

This Bread and butter pud was lovely. I’ll be buying an extra Panatone next Xmas to make this again. The recipe prepositions weren’t correct. Easily remedied. Also very easy. I used a tin of cherries.
Making chocolate cakes for pud tonight.

Found a large piece of Panatone leftover from Xmas. Made a bread and butter pudding with it from a recipe that had grapes added. Also coffee liqueur.

Soup, veggie and chicken. It has a funny texture. As the TMX was busy making Quince Paste, I cooked the veggies in a saucepan and used the Bamix to mix it. Make one really appreciate the TMX.

Hi Mab, I ended up in hospital with Vertigo. The gave me Stemitel. Always fixes it for me. Hope you are ok.
Getting ready for visitors. 3 lots over next 3 days. Feeding them the same meal. Spag Bol, salad, garlic bread, fruit salad and cream puffs.
Yesterday saw the Dr following blood test. All good, much to my surprise.

I’ve been making some strange jam mixes. The feed back has been amazing. Today I’ll try a different one. Quince and Red grapes. The Lemon, Carrot and Cardamon is quite nice , although my favourite at the moment is plain Mandarin Marmalade.

The young people loved the Beef in Stout. What an easy meal. Takes 1 1/2 hours to cook. Also made No Fuss Baguettes into garlic bread.
Made Brownies, served with Ice cream.
Tonight I’m having Salmon and fried rice. Steamed vegg.

Cookie, glad you are enjoying your little holiday.
Last night GS helped me understand my heating system. The house is zoned. I can now control the system easily.
