We all have marvellously clear drives but can't get up the bloody road! Given I'm near(ish) the bottom of the hill I shouldn't worry it's doable for us but going up and turning left is not for the fainthearted still.<br /><br />At work (on the coast) I think they've seen 2 flakes and think I'm joking!Furtheronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903753972242964410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17218624.post-3541410420965564022010-01-14T12:15:14.812+00:002010-01-14T12:15:14.812+00:00Sorry, DD!

I find the song "Don't cry for me Bird and Tina" is repeating in my mind over and over again including the revised lyrics.<br /><br />Its taken me years to stop singing “Mouldy Old Tyre” instead of Mull of Kintyre, and now I am singing Bird and Tina, thanks to you.Devonshire Dumplinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407865033197615356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17218624.post-55128343872012157382010-01-14T11:22:55.082+00:002010-01-14T11:22:55.082+00:00I know Dragonstar!

I've just...I'll be singing that all day...<br /><br />I've just been to all my favourite recipe books - including one that specialises in soups! - and there's not one recipe for pea+ham! There's pea, split pea, cream of just about everything - no pea+ham.

You should see me come up with some really weird mneumonic devices for my students, but we laugh and figure, "Whatever works." Just today I was helping a student try to remember the Swiss word for "fruitcake" (their class is doing Switzerland in honour of the Olympics) and I came up with <i>Uncle Bernie brought fruitcake for our Christmas dessert.</i> The word is . lol I said I was weird! ;)Leslie:https://www.blogger.com/profile/11964698251137788839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17218624.post-46663005701969228552010-01-14T02:20:15.838+00:002010-01-14T02:20:15.838+00:00Whoops, hit "publish" before I meant to....Whoops, hit "publish" before I meant to.

When it looks ready , it is . <br />The ham can be cut up into not too delicate chunks and my grandmother would occasionally add really finely grated carrot at this stage . Her nine children remembered having to finely grate thousands of the things over the years .<br />Not really a brilliant recipe , I must say . But the result was always heartwarming .<br />Hope your uncle loves his soup , however you make it !SmitoniusAndSonatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11210817141287881808noreply@blogger.com
