Belmont Stakes today. Will Big Brown win the Triple Crown?
Those that cannot afford to pay “twice” because it is twice as you pay probably more than you would for a adequate insurance package in tax each month are faced with having to battle with the system. Again very often those who shout loudest and threaten letters of complaint or worse such as involving the local press seem to somehow get appointments and treatment much quicker than those who are patient and wait their turn. Also as I said earlier there are ways of bucking the system if you pay for the initial consultation but starting at 200 to 300 dollars this may not always be possible if fund are tight. Also you need to get a letter from your GP if it is the first time you have seen the consultant and not all GP are willing to give you a letter to buck the system and sometimes will actually charge you for the letter.
Well you ahead of me I have never tried making one but I will search my Fanny Craddock cookery course books tomorrow which I would think will be your best bet for a recipe.
I normally buy 8 of them from the local supermarket for about 80 cents.
When I say I have never baked a naan I mean from scratch or a mix I buy them premade in a packet where you just pop them in the oven for 7 - 9 minutes to warm and slightly crisp.
>>something must have been wrong,
Well, the Derby is a mile and the Belmont is one and a half miles. If the horse is a “miler” - they fade quickly at the end.
I didn’t hear anyone talking about that before the race, but it is certainly a factor.
Had a wonderful lunch with you Raven. Hot and noisy, but very nice! Thank you.
Dog, I'll try to stay birthday-vigilant thru October, okay??:-)
Good morning, Molly.
Dems fear the Liberal Curse Times...awwww...Let's DO hope the "curse" is working this year...
From what the jockey said, ‘didn’t have a horse under me’, it appears for some reason Big Brown had an off day.
And so disappointing about the race yesterday!
Am going out early to work in yard...will be stiff and slow tho...
Good Morning. Rain clouds are looming to our West. The horrid winds of the past couple of days have really done a number of the garden. There’s a weeks worth of work out there, and I don’t have a week to give to it.
They love it. There are plenty of shade trees for them. Our vet reminded me one time when I was concerned. She said, “remember they are Arabian.” LOL
IG, some years are tough in garden-land...dry, too wet...too cool...too hot...LOL! And it all seems to take more and more energy!
Yes to the MORE energy comment.
Good Morning !
sorry I couldn’t join you for lunch - the conflict with memorial service was just too close timing wise. Glad you were able to get together.
The lawn here grows & grows. I dont cut it in high temps.. And it is going to be high temp the next several days.
Raven if you are still in town & available this PM a group called SHOUT is performing at the Hudson Square. They are a pretty Hot oldies band & not the norm for our outdoor/free concerts. Starts at 7.
Hope you all have a great Lord’s Day.. busy one here!
I got all ready to plant my Texas Blue Bonnet seeds this spring, tillacum, but then read up on how deep to plant them....and was dismayed to learn that they should have been planted in the FALL. Will they still be viable for planting THIS fall? I was so looking forward to seeing them blooming in my field and yard.
Glad to know that the money plants are up. You're be beating them back next year...they're very prolific! LOL
I found a recipe on the BBC website which says it makes 18 crumpets. Unfortunately could not get to my Fanny Craddock cook books as they have been moved around during the taking bits from one room to the other. Need to get cracking on that clear up.
Ingredients
450g/1lb plain flour, sifted
½ tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
2 tsp/1x7g sachet fast-action dried yeast
300ml/½ pint warm milk
300ml /½ pint warm water
vegetable oil
4 crumpet rings or 7.5cm/3in plain pastry cutters, greased
Method
1. Place the flour and salt into a large bowl and stir in the sugar and yeast making a well in the centre. Pour in the warm milk and water and mix to give quite a thick batter. Beat well until completely combined and cover with a tea towel or cling film.
2. Leave in a warm place to rise for about an hour until it’s a light, spongy texture. Stir well to knock out any air and pour into a large jug.
3. Heat a non-stick frying pan over a very low heat with a drop of oil. Wipe the pan with kitchen paper to remove excess oil. Sit the greased crumpet rings in the pan and leave to heat up for a couple of minutes.
4. Pour in enough mixture to fill the rings just over halfway up the sides. Leave to cook until plenty of small holes appear on the surface and the batter has just dried out. This will take about 8-10 minutes.
5. Remove the rings and turn over the crumpets to cook for a further minute or two on the other side. Sit the first batch of crumpets on a wire rack while continuing to cook the remaining mixture.
Note remember British and American pints are not the same British pint = 20 floz not 16.
So happy you two had lunch together. Was it yummy?
Just got back
