My daughter-in-law was given a copy of Maw Broon's Cookbook for Christmas. I liked the look of it so went out a bought it for myself. It's very funny; as well as the recipes there are some of the strips from annuals.

My cousin sent me a copy of Maw Broon's Cookbook. It arrived yesterday. It's excellent

How about Dad's Boxing Day Fry?

Frying pan, cook with a fair amount of oil, turkey scraps, chipolata sausages with the bacon, any left over stuffing, the left over sprouts, carrots, peas, red cabbage, potatoes or what ever all in the one pan? Fry and tossed until fully heated through, then serve.

Its sounds grotty but tastes superb. Try it, it is top of the pops in our household.
All flavours integrated.

Sounds good to me Ken. Perhaps just a hint of Tabasco and maple syrup would put the finishing touch.

Have you Canadians got so much maple syrup that you put it in everything?
I love the stuff, but the genuine article is just so damn expensive here

My son sent me a book for christmas -"Doric Alive and Kicking' by Deborah Leslie. Its a hoot. I couldnt understand it at first but then I started reading it out loud and I quickly got the gist. I read a chapter and have to stop cos I am laughing so much. Great wee book for anyone missing the homeland.

Dave, the real article is quite expensive here, in Canadian terms but it is plentiful. If you get a chance, try poaching eggs in maple syrup then serve them on pancakes .. ....... . . . . . . .. mmmmmmmmmmm

This is sounding more like a recipe thread than a reading one!
To get back on thread - my "loving" son gave me a book called Senior Moments. I was reading it this afternoon. I recognise some of the quotes; they were on the last forum!

The very thought...........but maybe as a savoury use it's an acquired taste?

What was that, Sandra?

I'm rereading Knots and Crosses by Ian Rankin. This is a new edition with lots of extras. I wish it had been around when I was teaching. It would have been perfect for showing how to write a story.

"Now We are Sixty" is good too, Sandra (apologies if you're not sixty yet!) It's by Christopher Matthew, and of course is a very irreverent take-off of "Now We are Six" by A A Milne. A good 60th birthday pressie for anybody who is broad-minded. (Example - "They're changing sex at Buckingham Palace".)

Books poured in for Christmas including, "Exit Music" Ian Rankin and "So Farewell Then Peter Cook" Wendy E Cook. Reading slowly.

Not sure I understand what "reading slowly" means. Do you read out loud as well, Dave? :wink:

by **sandra muir** » Fri Jan 04, 2008 6:06 pm

Yes, Kate, I've heard of Now we are sixty but haven't read it. I must try to get a hold of it.
