I'm with Mo on the Jersey Royals with butter on.....No taste quite like those potatoes.It's a pity they are only with us for a short season.They do nothing for my OH so I think there must be something wrong with his taste buds!
Jackie,my neighbour tells me that if you drain all the brine off tins of new potatoes,and just boil for a couple of minutes in ordinary water,they taste delicious.Never tried it but it might be worth a go,unless,that is, you do that already.

Hi Mick
I will have to put Gippsland on the list for the next holiday maybe.
Have done the Great Ocean Road, been to some of the Snow Mountains and have friends that we have stayed with in Wodonga a few times. But never got to Gippsland.
We are trying Tasmania this time as we have never been there before and I always enjoy Sydney so going there for a week also.

Must try Gippsland though especially if they have some nice spuds and Butter lol. (OH and Mick lives there too lol)

Our potatoes here in the West just don't taste the best. I have to buy tins of English New Potatoes but even then they don't taste as good as the fresh Jersey Potatoes we used to get in England.

Oh well you can't have everything can you.
Regards
Jackie

"Ya can't beat a bitta butta on ya bread" :O)..butter is a natural product.

I'm with you Mo,butter on toasted teacake delish! and then no need for fattening Jams

OH has his Flora Pro Activ, so do I on sandwiches, but when it comes to toast and toasted tea cakes I like my butter. OH has just jam or marmalade.

3.30pm every day a nice toasted tea cake with butter and a pot of tea. Smashing.

Also Jersey Royals with butter on. - Scrumptious.

Lol Mick..... dunno about Jackie.... I'm on my way, lol!!

Hi Daff
Thanks for thinking of my hubby
He is great thanks
Got over the major surgery now and is back to near normal. Well as normal as he'll ever be lol.
was a bit of a worrying time for us but as long as he knows his limitations all should be OK

We are now looking forward to that long awaited Holiday in September. We are off to Tasmania and Sydney.

Wonder if I can get any nice New Potatoes over in Tasmania lol

Have a nice day
Regards
Jackie

I agree Eldrick that one molecule away from plastic does sound OTT,but to me nothing tastes like butter,and my mother who was diagnosed with a bad heart in her 20's ate butter,in fact when she was in her 80's I was getting her 1lb a week,and she lived till she was 92....and she wasn't fat.She also cooked chips in lard or dripping.She did eat loads of vegetables though.

lol Ann... I have similar at home and enjoy it....... it is very rare I have the butter these days..... but it is just so scrummy in certain circumstances, lol!!

I am practising my Penny lope Keeth cutglass as I type, lol

Eldrick... what a fine figure of a man you must be, lol!!

Strangely.... I was slim before I gave up butter..... am not now though, lol!!

Sorry Daff, you had to have Benecol when you came to me!!! I love butter too. always have it when we go to the Canaries and when we go to daughters as she only eats butter.

don't forget to put on your lady of the manor voice!

My pet theory is that you can eat as much butter, suet and lard as you want as long as you drink plenty of beer, whisky and red wine.

It's done me no harm at all, fit as a flea. Still a 54" waist like I was when I was 40.

Yessssssssss!!!!!!

I knew it wasn't true:))))))))))))) LOL

lol Eldrick... I have venison, lamb and beef in the freezer....... I am not keen on cream!! Except on Cornflakes... but rarely have them.

I love suet dumplings in the winter with a thick beef stew........ but don't have them a lot, so I don't restrict my consumption.

I don't eat butter cos I switched to the olive oil stuff after my stroke 20 years ago... and butter is a real failing of mine!! I love it!! By the bucketful! My son once pointed out that I had a little bit of bread with my butter.... I am greedy with it, no half measures.. so it is easier to not have it!! Except as a very very special treat.

Love

Daff xxxx

I did Jackie..... I use Welsh butter though... it is similar to NZ butter, too!

I promise to think of you next time I have them, lol!!

Nite nite... how is hubby, by the way?

Love

Re the one molecule away from plastic and other stuff in that story....amusing but not true! Another internet sponsored urban myth.

Butter is good - so is full cream milk, suet puddings and red meat :-)

Ohhhhhh Linda... I used to love those Reggy lunches!! The food was soooooo good... I am drooling at the thought!!

Love

Why did you do this to me?
One thing I really miss is English New Potatoes
Especially the Jersey variety
We just don't get Potatoes like that here.
And of course that yummy Danish Butter was the best.

Will go to bed now craving for them
Hope you enjoyed them anyway.
RegardsJackie

Ah! well I succumbed to butter today too...been out to a Regimental Lunch (another story) and had salmon and they brought round a lovely lemon and butter sauce. Yum then the meal ended with cheese and biccys another of my failings so when I get weighed tomorrow will have put on but what the heck it was LOVELY!!!!

Linda x

Oh dear Susan.... so, no marge, no fish or pork cos of the worms........ you'll not be left with a lot to scoff soon, wmsl!!


Must go and get ready to do the *prospective employer* bit!!

Do you reckon twinset and pearls is a bit OTT?
