Tea? (Part 2)

[Arch]

I wasn't really sure if crumpets were real, first time I've seen someone mention them. I did some reading via internet on them, didn't realize they were similar to but not the same as English muffins, we have those here commercially (but not crumpets) I have never like English muffins as they are dry, chewy and tasteless. When I have a better (cooking) setup I'm going to try making crumpets. I think I would like them with maple syrup (and of course the requisite butter). Some recipes mentioned marmite...... what is that?

In some parts of the UK, crumpets are called Pikelets. In other places, Pikelets are a slightly different thing, flatter than crumpets, but still holey.

Either are best served hot and buttered, and then stacked in a plate on on top of the other, as the butter melts and soaks through, so as you go down the pile they get butterier and butterier...

I like them with honey, or a cheese on top and grilled to make it melt....

Yes we've had 70mph wind and rain all day apparently... not a cloud in the sky and flat calm...

My drywall project for the nxt 3 days
* sigh *
Can't get any more pix to upload took forever just to get the one up

Ooh, are you doing up a house too?

I like toast spread with marmite with beans on top. Or as a drink - yummy yum yum!

As an adult I have never tried marmite, apparently when I was wee marmite would come up quicker than it went down so I am not chancing it

Do tell all Phil

OK I decided to ride to the Sportive & it was then I registered then cycled over to a friends house who lives on Otley Chevin and had a cup of coffee then at 9:30 ish set off on the Sportive.

It was very very hilly more than I had thought I did it in 5:45:32 moving time and there was about 6000 ft of climbing, the route was just one massive hill after another, at one point I did think of bailing when I was faced with the massive hill at Norwood Edge and my rib was very painful but I took some pain killers and had a rest then continued. The day brightened up and I ended up in my SS Jersey and I managed a top speed of 39.5mph though coming down Otley Chevin there was road works so I ended up with the brakes full on most of the time.

Then I cycled home and managed a total of 101 miles for the day.

I must say I am liking actually getting back while there is still food left at the end

I never had a bounty bar for years after an occasion when I was six, when a bounty bar came out of my bottom end not long after I'd just eaten it. I was on the bus at the time!

Pleased to say, I've rediscovered bounty bars and it turns out the squit effect was a one off.

That's brilliant, Phil

Could you please try to convince my legs of this coz they think I have taken leave of my senses

but
I've never liked them and I suspect I'm no longer the lone voice of reason on this thread

Well done Phil

I don't believe it.

It's been damp and horrid all day and now it's blue sky and sunshine here

You never asked what the evening was going to be like!!

Bounty bars are vermin in all things choco.

Coconut is vile and should be banned.

But according to Michael Fish on the BBC, snow is on it's way to the NE

All my brain did was think "What as in whole?"

She never said, but I'll admit I thought the same thing.
