[alanfavell]

The carrots will see you right...........

 

Promising peeps do astound at times, I'm still hopeful for flour .......update on Monday.

:rant:  :punishment:  

 

 

I'm sure The Third Man couldn't get flour round here. 

[dapleb]

Ughhhhh this is getting serious!!!

[alanfavell]

I'd try the dark web, but the flour is probably cut with a more readily available powder

[dapleb]

I will be back to bookers on weds maybe.....do we need to get the 16kg bag?

[alanfavell]

Thanks, but no. I've got someone on the case right now .

[Studley Ramrod]

Better having too much flour than none though Al.

My local supermarket seem to have more chance of bread mixes in stock now but still no flour.  Made a nice Rye loaf yesterday to finish for lunch today, and will do a Donker tomorrow.  No issues with cheese supplies, and bread and cheese is good as cake in my (possibly controversial) opinion. 

[dapleb]

Is that donker as in belgie donker? As in dark?

[ChrisG]

Yep, goes nicely with a bottle of Kasteel Donker :drinks:

Possibly ?................ Possibly ?  That's blasphemy that is !

He can say this kinda thing now he's moved a safe distance away...though cheese is doodicious!

[ChrisG]

Don't dis the cheese!

 

Fortunately I have several bakeries and several cheese shops within walking distance.  As a farmers son I've never been keen on towns but I have to say I can see the attraction of living within walking distance of food shops and restaurants.

 

Besides, the Mrs has just used a chunk of our remaining supply of normal flour

 

[Studley Ramrod]

Looks very appetising Chris.  I can see the attraction of getting married.

 

I do like cheese too, a nice roule and lots of ritz biscuits is my current addiction.

[dapleb]

Sorted now favs?

[alanfavell]

Promised for Saturday Dappers - when a guy at the local backstreet garage sister knows a.................you get the picture I'm sure.

 

I have been told today that More Reasons (9 miles each way from here to the nearest store), are Baggins flour at 60p per kilo in their own plain brown wrapper. 3 kilo limit

 

Topbox ready if Sat. is another no show (may go tomoz anyhooo).

 

 

Can't a man bake a biscuit?

[dapleb]

Sounds like you are nearly there!!

[alanfavell]
