OOhhh bu~~~r - the toe has gorn again !!

Spasms of the tendons !!
- Does anyone know how to put it straight ???

Dea xxx

If they were good spuds, Id have left them in the oven for 10 mins.....I left them for nearly an hour

Not good, but edible!

Hit with a hammer Dea!

I have to say Ginns that I have not had a 'good' potato for years !!

They do not cook properly, they do not taste of 'proper potato' and I am getting desperate !!!

I think I will have to find a local farm which can provide 'proper ones' !!!

Dea Xxx

Thats just what we said, go to local farm

OH just bought his seed potatoes today

he'll plant them later this afternoon, and hopefully tomorrow.

Hope he gets them in before we leave on Tuesday



He's trying a new variety (to us) this year.


We usually grow yellows, and a row of blues just for fun.



They're usually delicious, and right from the back garden :-D ............ BUT over the years, we have a few varieties that we don't grow a second time!



They're very easy to grow .......... I think even I could do it :-D :-D :-D

I hate it ..............................


the arthritis in the toe next to the littlest toe flared up almost 2 weeks ago.

Everything gets inflamed and sore ........ I know what to do ............


.......... but it has now moved to my big toe.



It's soooooooooooooooo painful to walk, and I can't wear shoes!



Had to go to the opera (Aida) last night in sandals ..... which didn't exactly help matters



If I'm not on here, I will either be doing OH's tree .............. or lying on the bed with an ice pack on my foot and my foot elevated. :-( :-(

I've looked at that Etcher thread 2 or 3 times, and just cannot find anyhting that seems to fit.


The image is very clear, so it isn't a mis-transcription.


I keep trying to think what name could ahve been mis-heard as Etcher


or is she married, not unmarried


or is it not her real name, or birth place .......... or ??????????????

Sylvia I have searched on place of birth no name.
I tried freebmd with Etch* and other permutations.
I tried searching for clar* c186 2 in 1891 and checked the marriages for each result and still nothing I feel confident about. :-|

My son makes the best mashed potatoes when he worked in a restaurant kitchen (as a dishwasher) he told the chef his mash was rubbish so the chef says ok u mash them so he did and then had to do them all the time :-) But it bit him in the bum cos his arms were sore and boy did they muscle up ;-)
Dea ouch :-( hope it gets better soon

I'm doubtful if I will have time to do breakfast for Tuesday morning ............ so could someone please pick it up for me????



Then I should definitely be back by Sunday, so I can do next Monday's meal.



We may be back on late on Saturday ....... but it depends on road conditions ............. and there has been some major flooding in a couple of the areas we have to pass through. So I would rather someone else did Sunday's meals as well.





Many thanks ............... and I am sure Dea will thank you as well :-D :-D

Potatoes are very good over here...

New ones lovely with their jackets on.. bit of butter on them and maybe parsley or chives...

Mashed... you can buy potatoes that are for mashing here.. one lot are called agria.. sometimes I put chives.. in with the butter and milk to mash.. Stir in a raw egg and then pop the mash on top of your steak and kidney or mince

One of the plates I take to BBQs... is... I cut up cubed potatoes and bacon sprinkle with garlic or rosemary or both and roast in oil. Giving them a shake around.. or if in a hurry parboil potatoes first.

And I love left over potatoes sliced up and sauteed...

I will do Tuesdays Breakfast... aha ...

Do you want a hotel one, foreign or something I slap together.. promise no shellfish Dea.

Potatoes used to be like that over here Persie, but alas, no longer !!

I used to grow all my own veg in my last house as we had a lovely big garden, plus, I was a lot younger and fitter then.

It was hard work but SO worth the effort :-)

I even grew beautiful sweetcorn - freshly picked and smothered in butter it was 'to die for' - How I miss it :-(
