Today I burnt the honey



The Microwave is a fickle mistress. Sometimes she is great: warming up coffee if left too long, cooking potatoes or sprouts at Christmas,  generally helping with some of the easy jobs in the kitchen.  Today however, I only wanted the honey to come out of the honey-thing, and only warmed it for 30 seconds.....

O dear!

Making sausage rolls after midnight


I was encouraged by the demure chef (((( demure chef )))) to try using the oven. I had acquired some pastry, and had bought some discounted sausagemeat from a local supermarket.  All I had to do was combine 2 ingredients.  Roll out the pastry, and roll out the sausagemeat,then put 1 inside the other.

They wouldn't fit in the tin.

New Year's Day - Look Aboot Ye

 The mist was forming over the weir

There was also a big bird (eagle / heron / albatross / chicken) but it didn't want to stay for the camera.
