I loved the photo of the 4 generations you must feel so proud! :-) My Dad always said to me when I was a child that food tasted much better when it was flung together (grin) than being picky making it a showcase meal. He never bothered with measuring stuff but just a cup of this and a jug of that and I always loved his cakes. He used to cook in the army so meals were rough and ready but edible. Personally I think your daughter's birthday cake looks scrumptious.<br /><br />keep well<br /><br />Amanda xxCrafty in the Medhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15365932964481050936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5300015184443856740.post-3310844683178932272012-10-09T12:35:26.723-07:002012-10-09T12:35:26.723-07:00I love this post.

I made pickled beetroot the other day and it was awkward doing it on the stove top so I was wondering how else I can do them. Thanks for the idea!<br /><br />Take care of yourself Carole. <br /><br />God bless.<br />xxxxxVintage Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16844669942410942778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5300015184443856740.post-29360338921842527762012-10-08T02:11:40.218-07:002012-10-08T02:11:40.218-07:00Those puddings will taste amazing at Christmas tim...Those puddings will taste amazing at Christmas time made with so much love.

We, too, cook ours on the little gas stoves. They are brilliant. They are also available in a higher BTU rating and we have one of those for cooking steak.<br /><br />Another "me too". Just this morning I had a very uncomfortable lengthy discussion with the service that is supposed to assist in keeping dad at home. He has dementia. I am so frustrated because anything I need is against the rules. The lady was not listening which makes it unnecessarily complex. As far as this family is concerned dad belongs in his home surrounded by love.<br /><br />I applaud you and your weekend it sounds just as it should be.Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283293507101152512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5300015184443856740.post-53713392946257797562012-10-07T22:02:50.020-07:002012-10-07T22:02:50.020-07:00Last year Lady Magnon made 2 Christmas puddings.

Luckily she's off to Blighty for some grandson-sitting, so will buy some small ready made ones to bring back.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5300015184443856740.post-47628152232480451962012-10-07T14:15:40.841-07:002012-10-07T14:15:40.841-07:00what a lovely post Carole and what a special daugh...what a lovely post Carole and what a special daughter,mum and grandmother you are,enjoy your day my friend.xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5300015184443856740.post-86865459467294775322012-10-07T12:03:10.139-07:002012-10-07T12:03:10.139-07:00I've had a wonderful time reading this mixed b...I've had a wonderful time reading this mixed bag of a post.
