It shoots back up to 90 days 1st of Oct I’ve totted up my visits since last October and I have done 101 days this time. I’m pretty pleased with that. I thought the flat buying was going to interfere and it has a lot but I managed more than I thought I would. Expand Flat buying... can I rent it at mates rates... 20 quid a month ok with you?

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted July 5, 2023 Author Share Posted July 5, 2023 Made enough Kedgeree for breakfast yesterday to have it again today. Did extra eggs for re-topping when the first layer was gone. Had fresh turmeric which is rarely available but makes such a difference, ground is fine but fresh is a much nicer. Used a different recipe that I regretted. Spent a lot of time amending it to get the flavour right, then it turned into one of my best yet and because I tweaked it so many times I don’t think I can replicate it heyho. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted July 23, 2023 Author Share Posted July 23, 2023 I normally have a Full English breakfast once every two or three months so it was a surprise to be eating it two days in a row. Yesterday my son appeared and said I fancy a Full English, would you like one? Next thing I know he's been shopping and is serving up the an excellent breakfast for everyone. He really nailed it. Might have to admit to being a tiny bit proud, not many people master getting all the components on the table piping hot and nicely cooked but he did. The bacon was crispy and he even put a touch of garlic in the butter for the mushrooms. I had this small one, everyone else's was about double the size! I did feel like Mr Creosote by the end of it and have to lie down for an hour after 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
