Thank you for your comments. I could have written a LOT MORE in that vein.<br /><br />Anyway, BT texted this morning and will "contact" me later. Since two engineers expressed grave doubts about getting the line back across the river last week, we have gone down and risked life and limb (Health and Safety would have had 50 blue fits if they'd seen us in action yesterday, combined age 132 years . . .) and managed to get a nylon rope across from pole to pole, so all they need to do is tie their cable to one end and pull across . . . We shall see. Back anon, and thank you for being such good friends. I am missing everyone's blogs but can't linger here most days.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-42600336183067760172013-02-16T23:18:27.955-08:002013-02-16T23:18:27.955-08:00I hadn't heard that about re-introducing prope...I hadn't heard that about re-introducing proper cookery lessons into schoills. Not before time either especially since most modern mothers have no cookery skills they can pass on at home.

Good grief, I can't decide if finding out what it IS or isn't (meat) or knowing what has been added (chemical-wise) to most everything store bought is more worrying.<br /><br />Strange times indeed.....<br /><br />Hope to have you back soon!<br /><br />Hugs<br />Issy<br /><br /> Woman Seeking Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14940928888290866843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-68157792745462880632013-02-16T09:16:36.842-08:002013-02-16T09:16:36.842-08:00I so agree about eating local.

No out of season fruit or vegetables. No tomatoes from Mexico that were picked, shipped weeks on the road, then across the border and another week to the store. No wonder fruit and veggies rarely taste good anymore.<br />Seasonal eating is what we should understand. I do buy frozen veggies but rather have fresh when I can.<br /> <br />Hope your internet gets connected soon.<br /><br />cheers, parsnip<br /><br />angryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-78197495986869517712013-02-16T08:23:41.215-08:002013-02-16T08:23:41.215-08:00Hi BB

I too was taught proper cooking at home and at school and they should never have got rid of it off the curriculum in the way they taught it to us. The boys had the option of cooking too and indeed one of the lads did the course all the way through as his ambition then was to be a chef (although I pulled him out of several scrapes with some of the food he did go on to work in a professional kitchen in a very well known local hotel).<br /><br />I very rarely go supermarket shopping - I top up on basic ingredients and only use a proper Butchers for my meat. We are of the same view we would rather a smaller portion of meat and it be tasty than lots of it and tasteless and top up with plenty of fresh vegetables, Yorkshire Pudding and stuffing to pad the meal out and then perhaps a pudding every now and again to really pad things out. I value the flavour rather than the quantity. I only buy peas ready frozen and then freeze fresh veggies myself throughout the year.<br /><br />We too have been watching the Mountain Men programme and are enjoying it too. <br /><br />Take care and I hope the wood splitting /firewood exercise goes well.<br /><br />Love and Light<br /><br />Pattypan<br /><br />xPattypanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533048669555871726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-83555886068737271372013-02-16T06:50:29.595-08:002013-02-16T06:50:29.595-08:00I do agree BB.

Since the horse thing broke I have not bought any meat products in the supermarket - I do all that kind of shopping at my local, very good butcher - where everything is locally sourced. Alright, it is more expensive - but we shall just eat a little less of it to make up for the difference. Yesterday I bought a pound of beef skirt - I haven't see that for many a year, so I shall make a slow casserole like my mother used to make. Just hope it tastes as good as I remember.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-72684970931439314392013-02-16T04:11:34.846-08:002013-02-16T04:11:34.846-08:00Oh that Banner photo of the snow!!!

It certainly is beautiful, but I have lived through too many long snowy winters like that, that I couldn't help but give a shudder.<br />As for lamb,it's not in our stores except maybe twice a year and I do miss itChrisJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550420299395301062noreply@blogger.com
