Silly me, I forgot to add that, if you like to spice your caramelised nuts up, you should grind up some chilli and add it to the mix.
We are 'long' on chilli and other spices, because yesterday she went down to the head office of SpiceMakers and collected a box of grinders.
She completed her Christmas shopping as well, for on the same road as SpiceMakers, here are several 'high street' shops.
St. Mary Cray is the local station, this is two bus stops away from these shops and it is easy to get to from London.
She caught a Dover Priory train from Victoria and got off at the third station. She walked down the hill but there are lots of single decker buses that whizz up and down this road.
No, of course, I'm not telling you what she bought as gifts but I will tell you that she was extremely pleased to find some proper, old fashioned thick woollen socks to wear with boots. Made in Italy. For herself.
That makes a change, doesn't it? She's mighty annoyed that almost everything these days is 'Made in China'.
Yes, she understands that they have to have work but at the loss of other people's jobs?
Sir James Dyson and his team of engineers may be very clever at designing machines - she doesn't like Dyson vacuums, all they do is suck dirt, they don't actually brush clean a carpet and please, whatever you do, do not use them on any sort of valuable carpet or rug, for it will be destroyed.
But Dyson products are all made in China, as are Apple and shock horror.. Ikea products!
So to find Italian socks with properly turned heels and toes.. was a delight! Cosy toes, what bliss.
We will be back later today with a recipe that she has had for a veryvery long time, she was given it by Maria la Gorda. She was a dear friend of Constance and was the butchers' wife in the village near to where her parents lived in Spain.
It is an Onion Cheese Ball and it is delicious, in fact, it is SO delicious, I would go so far to call it.. truly scrummydumptions.
But she has to source brown paper, Christmas paper, a box and other exciting gift wrapping supplies and she can't do that whilst taking dictation from me, can she?
So go off and go about your business and we will be back this afternoon with more Tales from a Parrot to amuse and educate you.. get up off the floor, it wasn't that silly.
GeeGee Parrot.
