Black pudding in recipesI bought a black pudding over the Christmas period on a whim (one of those - oooh, long time since I had that) - thank goodness it has a long shelf life but that expiry date is fast approaching and it is still sitting in the fridge ... My only experience of black pudding is a cooked breakfast (bacon...
Re: LL's Gardening DiaryIt must be a winter thing where I get itchy fingers and want to start sowing stuff even though I am not in a position to take on a gardening project! The seeds I bought a couple of years ago before I took ill are still viable (ornamental grasses and wildflowers) and some are best sown in autumn or l...
Re: Soda Bread.Surprisingly, there were not many posts about making soda bread when I searched DTL except this one posted back in 2012! So I thought I'd revive and add to it (I haven't tested these recipes by the way but they all sound interesting ...) To hopefully cut a long story short, I found some dried cereal...
Re: Shall I or shan`t I? I have been repeating Gracie, Gracie to her on many occasions. You can "speed" up the recognition by also rewarding her when she responds (lots of praise, "good girl" and so on, and even a little treat the moment she looks at you when you call her name ... nothing makes a dog quickly learn new tric...
Re: Getting back to painting & drawing I understand what you say abut the lion's eye not looking right but when transferring something from a photo to a drawing I would presume (but would not know) that adjustments have to be made due to the change of medium. In the first sketch I had not included the closed eye but made it look similar...
Re: Getting back to painting & drawingYou may recognise the lion from the quick sketch I did. This time with a bit more detail (in the photo, the right eye is partially closed but it doesn't look right when drawn): https://images2.imgbox.com/dc/8d/cbEh6dfL_o.jpg The next one is a face mask. I am getting on with some sketches of things I...
Re: Baked Beans I'm sure you'll perfect the recipe to how you like them.
Re: Shall I or shan`t I?{hug} oh that is great news Spreckly. I'm so pleased for you. I am a bit apprehensive, never having had a dog on my own. Ted had dogs from a young age, and was familiar with potential problems. But I will just have to cope. I felt the same when I got my dog Pepper as all our other previous dogs had ...
Getting back to painting & drawingIt's been nearly 30 years ago since I last did any serious painting & drawing (and even then just a couple of commissions of family/friend's pets using pencil or charcoal) and before that, art in high school (... 47 years ago) so it's back to the drawing board )run( (doh) and get a bit of practice i...
Re: Tasty soup recipes? I have always found that a good curry or chili tastes better the day after it has been made. No idea why! It's do with the volatile oils in the spices, ageing and our senses of taste and smell. Volatile oils are made up of molecules of different sizes - large molecules are less viscous than smaller...
Re: Tasty soup recipes?I thought I'd just check that I hadn't already posted the recipe elsewhere on DTL and came across this topic of tasty soup recipes which was posted some 11 years ago. Just had a look of previous posts and thought it worthwhile adding to it for others to see the earlier recipes. Meanwhile, this next ...
Re: ... and so it begins I remember back in the 70s there was a campaign against coloured toilet rolls and my first thought was 'will that mean more bleach in the rivers instead?' I have often wondered what had happened to the coloured toilet paper - I just presumed they had got out of fashion and it was cheaper to produce...
Re: ... and so it begins. Deep sea mining Another environmental disaster waiting to happen is deep sea mining. Most mining has been on land (and we all know how destructive that has been to the landscape / toxic by-products of refining) With promoting electric vehicles to replace carbon emitting fuels, many of the precious metals needed fo...
Re: Another cracker jokeI'm not usually good at cracker jokes but I think I got this one - an esca-pea.
Re: Shall I or shan`t I?{hug} I can understand how it feels - when I lost my dog after 15 years, I remember how empty the house seemed. Not just missing the attention of her company but little things like feed and walk times were absent (surprising more than expected), or noises (breathing, snoring, moving around, squeaky ...
