First crumble of the Fall. Bramble and apple. Fruit macerated days ago and frozen ready. Oatmeal topping, which I ground today and chucked in whole oatmeal flakes too. Molasses and just a bit of white sugar. Butter to bind the crumble.
Afternoon tea on a cool rainy day. Crumble with plain yogurt. English breakfast tea.
Continuing mystery why people don't cook for one. Some for neighbors, for handsome son if he visits, to have a little something in the afternoon, to freeze for later. All fresh ingredients, because I'm worth it.
Back to watching Grantchester now. Rewatching.
Did I mention I got the last of the post-it posse done? Completed my outreach to millennials, in good time for them to use the enclosed applications to vote by mail. My bit is done.
ReplyDeleteLately I haven't been cooking at all. Just getting the minimum required chores done every day is about all I can manage, and the house looks post-earthquakian. But none of this has anything to do with it just being one person - when I DO cook, I never feel like it's not worthwhile :)
ReplyDeleteYes, I can tell from your joy in growing and eating your own food.
ReplyDeleteas a matter of interest, have you tried Yorkshire Gold tea? its currently my fave.
ReplyDeleteYes, but I don't like it. No edge to the flavor. Bit dark. I've tried a few teas, Irish Breakfast, some Scottish ones, end up again
ReplyDeleteat English Breakfast. I do like Earl Grey once in a while.
But as the aunts used to say, it's all about the water!
