Eugh! A miss? It's like missing a viral infection that has cleared up. Even wee Jimmie Sturgeon is funnier than them.

Lucky she never bought you a tart.I find the green bits left on the strawberry on fruit tarts to be irritating. However Aditi if making a fruit salad leaves a couple of strawberries with leaves on the top “to make it look interesting”. I am not convinced. Whenever Aditi went up to London for meetings she always seemed to be near a Patisserie Valeriie and bring me a cake.
I'll get my coat.

The rind of a stilton is just the dried crust of the cheese, same as the skin on custard or the crust on a loaf of bread. Why do these have to be discarded?
I don't waste the skin on Kiwis (the fruit, that is, not the humans) its just roughage.

I'm not a Stilton expert but on occasions when we have owned it too long it has felt slightly slimy and if I dont like the texture I really don't mind consigning it to a bin. Cheddar on the other hand I just cut the mouldy bits off and eat.I'm curious as to how your stilton doesn't 'keep'. It is by nature mouldy and is best drunk with a spoon! Its outer crust is just that, a crust and is also edible. FYI, most French keep their cheeses on the dresser and not in the fridge, similar to the way we used to keep bread or fruit.
Regarding 'blown' tins, no I will also give them a miss.
Dried fruit does deteriorate if it's not sealed in a vacuum or nitrogen-purged container.
As I said originally, look at the contents of the package and use your common sense (if such still exists); if it don't look right, or if there's something moving then to the bin with it!

Either will do. Johnnie Walker red label or blue label. Has to be drunk from the bottle in a brown paper bag whilst singing about the highlands in the style of a drunken pub singer.

Stilton may keep for years in a mountainside cave but it don't in my fridge John.
Whilst packets of dried foods/cake mixes may seem ok after their dates I am unsure whether they perform properly.
As to tinned stuff, my parents found some tinned meats under the floor of their first house. When opened years later it certainly wasn't edible.
I kept a tin of baked beans (the spelling changed from beans to beanz in 2008. 3 years ago I threw it out because the tin had opened part way down.
Dried fruit deteriorates.

As Mum is in hosp awaiting her op I took the opportunity to check the use by dates in her food cupboard.
Some were back to 2013, some 2014 and most were 2017 or 18.

Just read on the Auntie website of the Dutchman who laid down for 3 hours on an explosive device that he had dug up whilst gardening. The Dutch public have been warned that "it is strictly ill advised to lie down on explosives."
Well theres a thing!
I wonder if the Dutch gent had a plan B?

Ha, I suspect haggis night will soon be upon us. Bagpipes will be blaring and, I really like this bit, whisky will be swilled.

Don't know if this is of use to anyone. This guy has more ads on FB.

Mum had a fall in early Nov and the scan yesterday showed that the brain bleed had increased to some extent. Neuro surgeons want her to go to Derriford, Plymouth asap tomorrow to see her and decide a course of action.
Birthday takeaway meal just finished but I'll cancel the couple of whiskies later until another time.

My wifes email account, recently infected by an email from a friend, sent a spurious email to an online marketplace where she recently made several purchases. They replied to the email saying that they could not understand the email but were making a full refund.
I was a bit dubious about it but this afternoon the refund arrived in our account. Just wish it had been one of the larger purchases she had made.
