Much as I hate to leave in the middle of things

. . . whilst sitting in the garden. (Anyway that's illegal)

Perhaps you should move back to England?

The law offers us no impediment to sitting in our gardens.

Plasterer has made a good job of covering up the mess left by the electrician but the tiler has just 'phoned and said he can't get here tomorrow and is now booked until October so would it be OK if he does a couple of hours each evening next week ~ and if it isn't OK? Find someone else. So it looks like he'll be here on Monday evening

Nick sweetie shouldn't you be scraping dinner together?

[Nick]

All over. Cottage pie, mixed veggies, my special fruit salad, coffee, CHEESE (including Goat) and those Spanish almond biscuit thingies

OK?

Yet another reason to add to the list not to visit Chez Nick!

It is semi cooked fruit salad since you ask. No wee involved. Normally.

Semi cooked? I almost think the wee ingredient sounds better!!












Seriously though what do you cook?

Take a selection of fruit. In this case: bananas, peaches, plums, apples, pears, oranges and grapes.

Peel, core where necessary, remove seeds etc. Put all the trimmings into a pan of water with some honey and boil for about 20 minutes. Strain it and pour the HOT juice on the mixed up fruit (in a bowl obviously!) and then whack it into the freezer until it's chilled. OK?

No plums in mine thanks ~ I'm allergic to them .... otherwise all sounds fine. Does it come with generous quantities of clotted cream?

[Nick]

If you wish. We didn't bother (= I had forgotten to buy the ice cream)

[Bar Wench]

That sounds rather pleasant actually, I imagine it would be pleasant with a dollop of cointreau or it's ilk too.

Tempting to add alcohol when there were three kids eating it, but thought better of it. Some white wine is added sometimes. But not wee.
