I am with a laptop and electricity (luxury) but only for a short period, my time is up. Take care.

Are you suffering power cuts in these wonderful downpours too?

I welcome the rain - but not the lack of power!

So you have never had haggis on Burns night

I always cook it for hubby (and Co) and once tried vegetarian haggis which was a wholly unnecessary gesture as my napkins taste nicer ... But I love tatties and neeps, preferably creamed with lots of butter and coarsely ground pepper ....

But my favourite bit of Burns' night (after the delights of the recital and stabbing) is Athol Brose ... that is the heavenly pud!

Never heard of this one - recipe please?

Is there a laird of Athol? I am sure that I met him a few years back.

There are many versions some make it more drink-like, but here is the one I use, and I sometimes add fresh raspberries to it too

45g Oatmeal
60g Roughly chopped blanched almonds
350ml Double cream
60ml Drambuie / Whisky
2 tbsp Honey (Greek! )
1 tbsp Lemon juice

Basically: whip the cream and fold in the other liquids. Follow with the oatmeal and most of the almonds. Divide into four bowls and sprinkle with the rest of the almonds and some fruit (to make it look healthy ).

Tarrum .... takes 10 minutes. Ideal pud!

Sounds heavenly to me

Thanks O! I will definitely test this one out

[Kikapu]

Also glad to see Niki back.

Thanks Kikapu, I call in occasionally.

Yeah I know, but you don't hang around long enough to "talk" with you anymore.

Take care.

You will just have to attend our next luncheon Kipaku and then Niki will 'talk' honestly!

That would be a very nice idea, SSB. All I have to do is get my butt over to Cyprus one of these days.

You must have had hiccups while you were writing my name.!

Morning Deniz,

Despite having had my morning coffee already, I did not get the "Blame the TC Red" comment.

Perhaps I'm just a little slow this morning.! Actually, no different than any other mornings really.!

Very sorry Kikapu!

Deniz was correct in blaming the TC red - that is the wine I was drinking last night!

We await your return to Cyprus for lunch then!
