Snow Hill Posted October 17, 2021 #26468 Share Posted October 17, 2021 5 hours ago, zap99 said: We had a meal in America. It was a car themed restaurant. The side of fries came up in a car hubcap. They have big hubcaps, but there were 3 of us. As regards the tomatoes, down south we have a tomato crisis, all to do with lorry drivers, I think. A third of a tomato is a third too much as far as I am concerned. I would not complain as I am not allowed to. Upsets some folk.🍅🍲 Didn’t realise there was a tomato shortage we have been living off our 6 tomato plants in the greenhouse since late June, coming to an end now having to pick the not quite ripe ones and ripened them next to the bananas in the bowl, probably a week or so left of home grown tomatoes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham. It looks amazing Graham. Here it was a "get rid of it" day so a random traybake. It tasted OK but wouldn't rush to do it again. I much prefer what you had even though I could have only eaten a little of each I would have really enjoyed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have been on her in the Med now😢 Avril I think we should as well 😕Is that the Eastern Med trip, with a new (to us) port in Greece - Gythion, or some such? Really have no thoughts of resuming cruising at the moment I typed that yesterday but haven’t been able to post or add likes. 🙄. Ho hum So excuse if I seemed to be ignoring Nice looking roast beef Graham I roasted a big chook for the first time in ages. There are nice smells through the house 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
