I've been on antibiotics since Thursday, chest infection.
Pleasure of working in care, cant remember ever having a chest infection..

I've had a week of headaches and feeling yuk with the antibiotic..
No time off but i did have a half day holiday friday.

I'll be hiding at work today, i feel shell shocked after all these headaches..

I hope it clears up soon and you can feel like your normal self once again .

Morning. It is a lovely bright clear start to the day today.

I had a better night's sleep last night but I'm still aching all over.

Im chuckling watching Schrodie inventing new games. I think he is bored! He was on top of a nest of tables seeing what he could knock on to the floor so I threw him his aluminium ball to play with. After a brief chase he picked up the ball and dropped it in to his ball run. I think he has now gone off to drop the ball into one of my shoes!

Sunny morning, a bit nippy but not too bad. The weather report for the rest of the week doesn't look good

Common in these parts many years ago. The good old 'Bedfordshire Clanger'! Apparently the workers in the fields would take them for their lunch. They had meaty stuff in one end and jam in the other, with a pastry divider inbetween to stop the fillings mixing.

I've never seen them commercially made but my grandma made them on oaccasion.

(The posh folks in Hertfordshire wouldn't be seen dead with one! )

Tho' having lived so close, I don't recall ever seeing a clanger for sale.

In the States, the pasty seems confined to the State of Michigan. Signs up, restaurants have them, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Get a few miles into Wisconsin, though, and you don't hear anything about them. Only store that stocks a commercial pasty around here is based in Michigan. Mrs. GA takes a dim view of the commercially produced pasty.

It's probably true that you simply cannot produce them in high volume to a reasonable quality.

True... and I expect the fillings were variable too, as they were home made. The women would have used whatever meat (and jam) they had at the time, and any herbs and spices. I don't know if there even was a standard recipe for them. Any attempt at mass production would be a watered down version of the real thing - just as Cornish pasties are.

Well I contacted Oops and spoke to a human. His response was that my package was still in transit, just like I could read on my tracking . I told him that I would never use them ever again .

He probably had no more information than you.

Very true. Although all I do is the dicing, myself. Mrs. GA controls the process and quality controls from there.
