    With relish, or not..

    Relish is some kind of chutney, isn't it.

    Cakes with chutney? Novel, but why not.

    And 'with relish' also means 'with great enjoyment' - see what I did there?  image :- D

    I'll get me coat.

    Thanks Geoff I will have to do some juggling, I saw a clip of Cuckoo, I always find it annoying when someone has to play a doormat to get a laugh......

    .............unlike Flo who does it with skill.

    image aw shucks, Kate

    'playing a doormat' reminds of a little boy in my class who came in after break with footprints all over his coat. Mathew, says I, what have you been doing? Well, miss, we was playin' Aladdin and I was the Carpet.

  • My OH uses spam for fishing bait. All this talk of school meals take me back.

    Years ago, about 35 to be precise, I was a cook/supervisor for school meals. We used to cook about 200 lunches a day. In those days everything was prepared from scratch using only fresh ingredients, nothing could be repeated twice in the same month and if you had flour in the 1st course, you couldn't use it in the pud. The only thing you could have in tins was spam and baked beans. All the potatoes, veg etc was fresh. Dried peas allowed when you had fish which was twice a month. It was quite a job to work out a menu. I left to have my daughter and soon after that school meals changed to what we have today. For some children it was the only hot meal they ever had.

    Enough nostalgia, what's for tea is the next question?

    I honestly used to enjoy my school meals. But saying that, I eat almost anything, and did back then. image

    Same here Becks. Apart from tinned tomatoes. I've always liked rice pudding, semolina and tapioca so I suppose that helps.

    Dean, you little tempter! I love irises, I might just have to have a look at those offers.
