Love soda bread and also make it for winter soups. I've made tomato, orange and ginger soup for lunch tomorrow and braised some red cabbage with apples for tomorrow's dinner and made red salad with the other half for our lunch.
I like lemons for lemon cheesecake - uncooked so light and fresh on a ginger biscuit base. Yum! Or a proper lemon tart with optional meringue.
OH has restored PC to beginning of Jan state but Chrome is still being shy so that needs looking at.
Wet and windy continues. I'm off upstairs no having done all other jobs except prepare a whole celeriac for baking to have with our boeuf bourgignon which I cooked on Thursday. Sauce and veggies taste great but, my goodness, well cooked beef is very boring. I shall freeze the leftovers for OH to have when he feels the need but my plan is never to cook it again.
LG - a lot of scouse is Irish so maybe it's from there. Horrid, whatever it's origins.

Around here in the East Midlands ( a mining area) I always thought of a "Gob" as being a mouth, as in "Shut yer gob" telling someone to stop talking. Gobsmacked then became so astonished that you couldn't talk.

Oh yum, Dove. I love bread like that. Shame it’s past time for bed here. I’ll be thinkingbabout your bread instead of nodding off.

Whodathunkit? Gobsmacked is derived from a mining term

Spent the afternoon stuffed with soup and soda bread and collapsed on the sofa
