The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

It does. I've been dipping in and out. Under normal circumstances we'd have gone to Victory Park today and then dashed to Ewood to watch the Mighty Rovers sadly...........

From the chippy?

I have a couple of cod fillets in the freezer which will go well with chips tonight.

I brought two nice pieces of cod whilst I was in the market yesterday, they'll be lovely for tea tonight.

Desperate times require desperate measures.

Presume mine will be around the same. Goes on inflation or retail price index or something I think?

My sausages must have smelled nice as Miss Molly was hovering at my elbow! Didn’t give her any as they were a little spicy and I haven’t really got into the habit of giving her much anyway. They just become a pest if they get used to human food.

How dare you call my Molly a pest? She has left over human food ( only the safe ones) and she had a chicken leg before ( without the bone) as well as dog food of course. When it comes to her own food, she tends to eat it a bit at a time.

Boiler men have gone and we have a warm and cosy home again, and there is lashing of hot water, no more boiling kettles for hot water for washing and washing up.

Mrs P makes a very good chicken soup @Dave7. Onion, couple of carrots, stick of celery, chicken carcass in a large pan, cover with water and simmer for hours. Skim off any scum which forms.

Keep some chicken shreds to add when serving. Serve with orzo pasta, parmesan and black pepper. 😋

MrsD just cannot stand boiled/simmered chicken carcass. Just one of those weird things. Shame really as I used to enjoy it.

I am presently cooking rice pudding in the oven, trying to reproduce the home made rice pudding my ex-mother in law used to make every Sunday, in the 70's. It was the best rice pudding I have ever tasted but I still can't match it. She must have had a special recipe.

My old Mum used to make a mean rice pudding. I can never replicate it.

I tried it 3 times recently.
My Mums was special.....nice and creamy while still being moist.
Mine came out way too dry......tasty but dry. Each time I added more milk and reduced the time. Still wasn't as I recall and still too dry.

Yes, I well remember the home made rice pudding my late mother used to make. A tin of Ambrosia creamed rice is not in the same league
