Greetings to you all.
If you have read the last post you will know that she took Goaty mum Debbie two bottles this morning, one was dark red and slender, the other was brown and fat.
The dark red colour bottle was requested by the recipient herself.. she was offered an apricot coloured one but said "that she was very partial to a Slurp (stick around, the word is catching) of Kirsch!"
And on Ellie's Dairies Blog this morning Debbie wrote about having an hour in bed with Marmite, who is a cosy cat not a mug of the strong stuff, and a slurp of Sal's homemade Kirsch.
Bob, her uncle, would be very proud of his only niece.. for he was a Master Brewer of all manner of deliciously scrummydumptious drinkable things.
She is particularly pleased with this batch of Kirsch for the colour is dark velvety red.. it is from a batch of home-grown Stella cherries that she forced to become sweeter and darker by covering the trees in a tent of nylon! It raised the temperature and the cherries, which are normally a pretty red, went completely black! Brogdale Nurseries, from whom she bought the trees, were fascinated and vastly amused by this when she showed them the photos.
The cherries and the vodka soaked for three years, the smell is divine and the taste, well.. Slurp is indeed an excellent word to describe what people think when they taste it. There was a secret ingredient added which shall remain a secret.. nope.. Beaky's sealed.. and no, it was not sugar or vanilla but it does make the liquer have a wonderful smell and a certain je ne sais quoi taste!
She is back from Marylebone, she waddled home for these two foodies had eaten several scrumptious things. First up were the dumplings with the chilli-billy sauce.. yum.. then a cup of good coffee and then the stall holder left her minding the 'shop' only to re-appear with two scones.
Oh.. heavens-to-Betsy.. proper scones, not those light-airy-fairy-taste-of-nothing ones, these had substance and were filled with a thick slab of double cream and strawberry jam.. not a crumb was left for even a poor pigeon and, I regret to say, she licked the paper it had come in!
So you see waddle is an apt word with which to describe her walk up to Oxford Street, mind you, she was carrying a goodly amount of swag, some cheese, a bag of Pak Choi, three pints of raw goaty milk and a wondrous selection of Kilner Bottles, the like of which she has never seen before! Found by Debbie in Ashford, Kent and they have a product number on their label so that she can speak to Messrs Kilner to order more!
Yesterday she was given a tub of the same cream that Omer used in today's scone, so today, before she left the market, she swooped on a pile of Bramley apples.. because in the swag bag is a lonely scone.. she thought he would be greatly cheered up by being introduced to an apple pureed with some spices and a dollop of cream.
What do you think?
Now there is Mount IronMore waiting for her attention in the sitting room.. bed linens and some summer clothes which will be packed away. So with a large bottle of Lavender smelling water for the steamy iron and Chocolat in the dvd player.. whoosh.. we're off.
Flap Flap.. Dear Readers.. Flap Flap.. Sorry about the mini print, but she can't get BlogSpot to make it bigger..
