Futtocks Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Just bought a stovetop espresso jug, something I haven't had for a few years. I found one that was well discounted and was queuing up to pay when I spotted some (also discounted) Le Creuset espresso cups, so I ended up spending more after all. These are they, pretty much life-size. I got an orange one, so now I have four espresso cups, none of which match.

Futtocks Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Are they enamelled cast iron? Ceramic, as far as I can tell. But they look good and are nice to drink from.

Futtocks Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Just bought a bag of cobnuts, which I haven't had in about 20-30 years. Naturally, the nutcrackers, which I remember seeing in the kitchen only the other day, have vanished into thin air. As they always do...

Bearman Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I called into Glocester services on the M5 the other day. I think it's owned by Westmorland Farmers that run Tebay services on the M6. In my experience Tebay has easily been the best services on the motorways. They specialise in local produce and it's like an upmarket farm shop. The new Gloucester services claim that most of the produce was sourced within 30 miles of its site. I assumed that certain products might be shipped down from the other site when I spotted "Cartmel Sticky Pudding" for sale. On that basis I bought some Cumberland sausage which I've just had for my tea. Unfortunately I was disappointed as it wasn't anything like real Cumberland sausage. Other than that they do have some lovely stuff albeit at quite fancy prices. As an aside the best Cumberland sausage from outside of the Lake District area that I have found is Tesco's Finest. They seem to have a pretty traditional recipe. Ron Banks Midlands Hurricanes and Barrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cocktail: Paloma (tequila, lime juice & grapefruit soda, in a salt-dipped mug) Main course: Mole Poblano (chicken, rice and beans in a rich dark sauce - no moles were harmed) Dessert: Pastel 3 Leches (layered cake made with condensed milk, evaporated milk and double cream) Lively for a Tuesday night, no piped music but a noisy happy buzz.

Ullman Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Just tried a bottle of Iron Maiden 'Trooper' ESB. Not bad, actually. It's more than acceptable, the cask version is pretty good too. Just enjoying a bottle of Andechser Bergbock Hell. I think it's my new favourite beer. "I'm from a fishing family. Trawlermen are like pirates with biscuits." - Lucy Beaumont.
