    Odd State Laws!

    Yeps - the shooting Welshmen law applies in Chester too, as far as I know. Being from Chester and indeed owning a longbow myself, I always found that hilarious as a lot of my friends are Welsh and my sister was born just across the border and so is technically Welsh! Another crazy English...

    The Resurgence of Vintage Things

    I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by the Lindy on Strictly Come Dancing - Maybe someone has had a word with them since the Dancing with the Stars debacle!

    What are you cooking for Christmas - your traditional foods?

    A family staple of ours has always been what we call 'Irish Stuffing', something made by my great grandmother from Bantry in Ireland and then made my my Grandpa (also from Bantry) then my mum and now myself and my sister as well! My mum insists on making her own, but my other half's family with...

    Ah well Paisley, if the Lindy sucks at least they did a cracking Charleston already!

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Gosh, I didn't now how lucky I was, having found myself a milkman that delivers in glass bottles! I must say that there is something incredibly pleasant about the little ritual of putting the empty bottles on the step in the evening and bringing in the full ones in the morning. I think that I...

    The Resurgence of Vintage Things

    Following a request on Lizzie's fantastic Vintage Things that Have Disappeared in Our LIfetime thread http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?p=921645#post921645 I decided to start this one... Some things seem to be making a bit of a comeback of late - Carbonated drinks in glass...

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    I do miss a ringing telephone. I have a lovely looking replica of a 1930s bakelite phone that feels right and looks right but some bounder has put a modern ring into it. Very disappointing but it will have to do until the lottery comes up and I can afford the one I want! I do miss the old red...

    Welsh forum Members?

    Not Welsh per se, but here goes! Ancestry on my dad's side is Welsh, born and brought up in Chester, smack on the border (my Uncle's hedge in fact IS the border!), most of my mates are round Mold and Caergwrle and Wrexham so spent much of my youth stomping round there, went to uni in Lampeter...

    end of the month food

    I get paid monthly and yes, things do get a little lean towards the end of the month! My end of month staples are macaroni cheese, stews and vegetable and cheese bakes. Lots of cheese based dishes, basically!

    Fish and chips and other balms for the soul

    Oooooh, I've just heard tell from a friend about a fish and hip shop in Cleethorpes (not too far away from me) where they still fry their fish and chips in beef dripping (beef fat). I feel a daytrip coming on, methinks! :D

    Fish and chips and other balms for the soul

    Lizzie - Glad you enjoyed! It's a little recipe my grandmother used to do and of course the joy of it is that once you've opened the guinness to bind the cheese, it would be hateful to waste the rest of the bottle! lol

    Gin Lovers Unite!

    As I mentioned in the sloe gin thread, I don't like Gordons gin and prefer either Bombay Sapphire or Plymouth for cocktails or with Dubonnet. My very favourite gin for a good old fashioned G&T is Hendricks which to me has a very fresh flavour and is best served with a slice of cucumber as...

    Fish and chips and other balms for the soul

    Lizzie - Welsh rarebit is fantastic when made with guinness instead of milk. Grate the cheese, mix in a tiny drop of guinness, just enough so the liquid binds and maybe a hint of mustard powder, spread it on toasted bread and grill until it bubbles. Gorgeous stuff and amazing flavours.

    SLOE GIN

    I'm not over keen on Gordons, I prefer Bombay Sapphire or Plymouth for cocktails or Hendricks for a good old G&T.

    Fish and chips and other balms for the soul

    Fil - I will say that I am rather more fond of the condiments than the comestible on occasion. I love a lot of vinegar and dollop on the tartare sauce. What can I say, it's a forbidden delight!

    Picnic Ideas & Food

    Binkie: The National Trust do some lovely picnic blankets. We have one of the Celtic ones and it is of lovely thick wool that doesn't let the damp or the thistles through and is lovely and heavy so as not to fold up in a strong breeze. It's also lovely and warm if you happen to start to...

    Of Sheep-Dip, Rot-Gut, and Furniture Polish. The worst of the worst.

    I find Advocaat vile in every way, Malibu is just plain horrible and should be banned and try as I might I really can't get on with Gordon's gin... I'm sure I'll think of something else in a minute now I'm started! :P

    The Cheese thread

    I do love a good Stilton, preferably with port and preferably after a big roast dinner! Stinking Bishop is a lovely strong, runny cheese and I love baked camembert. A good, easy way of doing it is to get camembert that comes in a wooden box, remove the label so that it doesn't scorch and...

    SLOE GIN

    I don't like commercially made Sloe Gin but I do like to make my own. I freeze the sloes first to make them extra pulpy, then add a good gin such as plymouth and some sugar and then let the magic happen! :D The only problem is the thorns on the sloe bushes can be somewhat painful, but the end...
