  1. Do you have raisins? Sultanas are golden raisins, combined with the regular raisins they make up 68% of the mix. I have a similar recipe that only uses raisins and is quite tasty.
  2. I understand the curfew but since your druggist is not within the allowed travel distance exceptions should be made. Also, the fact you combined two acceptable reasons for being out into one trip rather than multiple journeys is also to your credit.
  3. Hmmmm, I didn't think you could do it with this one but maybe redemption is possible.
  4. I'm well aware of your stance on things piscine. I just didn't mention it as I didn't want to encourage your behavior.
  5. Concord grapes are considered "slip skin" as it's easy to separate the flesh from the skins and they have large seeds that are easy to remove. You might want some sugar to help things jell. In addition consider pressing some of the grapes for juice. You can "can" the juice in glass quart jars like you might tomato juice for use throughout the year.
  6. Or more likely begin to indulge ...
  7. Concord grapes were very common in the northeast US. The grapes are round and a deep blue purple nearly black and have a rich flavor. They are typically used for jams/jelly, juice, pie and occasionally kosher wine. When I was a kid Welch's heavily advertised that they used concord grapes for their products. The lighter variety were possibly Catawba grapes. Catawba are common in the Finger Lake region and are used for jams and juice. There is also a red variety used to make New York Rosé wine.
  8. I was being kind when I said I do not care for rhubarb. My true response is more along the lines of Val's opinion of fungi as a foodstuff.
  9. Is it bad that the first thing I thought of when I read chicken adobo flautas was flatulence?
  10. Hoping all goes well B.
  11. As do five other large cats, all are doing well and expected to recover. The tiger was the first one tested.
  12. I think your cottage may be larger than my house. I really like the b/w photo.
  13. My maternal grandma made homemade grape jelly and grape juice from concord grapes.
  14. What a terrible thing to do to an innocent bunch of strawberries. As I've stated before ... I do not care for rhubarb.
  15. Blackberry jam is one of my favorites, actually it is my favorite as it's the one I typically have on hand though orange marmalade runs a near second.
  16. I approve his sartorial choices.
  17. Were they steamy sex scenes, if so perhaps your computer decided to censor them.
  18. Hour long showers? What in the world was he doing ... 😯 ... never mind that, more importantly just how big is your hot water heater?
  19. My dear bro it doesn't matter if things are out of sight you're still out of your mind 🤪 Mum and I house cleaned her garage yesterday.
  20. Anyone else notice the mostly empty bottle on the counter?
  21. Oh yum, molten ... something 🥺
  22. Can you file for unemployment?
  23. Drat! It's still Lent no brownies for me.

    The Interviews

    I'm enjoying reading these chapters as much now as the first time. This is an excellent story.
  25. Perhaps if you massage them your toes will loosen up ... 😯 ... you didn't mean your toes did you?
