Hello lovely cafe dwellers,

I don’t know if this will be helpful - just a reminder (or information if we forgot to say )

On the new forum community Val's cafe will be on its own like Living with Arthritis, so you could have 'Val and Aidens tasty treats' and inside there have Val's cafe and Aiden's Patisserie

Obviously names are your own, mine are just to try and explain my tricksy words

Maybe I’ll go for a bacon and egg breakfast, thanks for the idea - I’ve popped some shortbread biscuits in the tin, we got lots at Christmas, plenty to share around

Love
Yvonne x

frogmorton

Aha! Thank you Yvonne I am understanding now. So the café will be whole 'thing' like chit chat or LWA! Wow! That is BIG :shock:

Thanks for that helped a lot. I liked tooo many ideas

Please do have a 'full English' and thanks for the biccies your tin is still full to bursting from Christmas

Barbara I do NOT envy Niamh's other Nanna :shock: nope I do NOT!! Three kids all at the same time... get me out of there!!

I bet she was hyper post-party bless her.

Glad you enjoyed the haggis. The recipe Kath posted was really yum......maybe we should have a recipe bit in our new café then they'd be there easier to find again??? Hmmm....

Lucy and Charley are doing ok thanks, but it's a long time till 4th for the actual funeral :roll:

Barbara can you sell for me on facebook? Are you doing that on your phone too? I can't type with thumbs just one finger :oops: thumbs don't like it :oops:

Breakfast today is Kath's choice - mushroom omelette:



A quick hello to Joan who will be in next t4591

and I hope mig is doing on and Carol managed that X-ray and pain has backed off a bit.

Love

Toni, I'm liking the way you're thinking. Those who wish to add a recipe can do so. Anyone who would like to add a poem (not necessarily self written) are welcome too. Anyone who has a health tip, the more the merrier. Any pet news or animal news in general is always welcome. Am I sounding a bit bossy here? Sorry. :oops:

Can't wait to see the new emoticons.

HOORAY TO OUR MODS

Joan, Haggis is a Scottish dish using mince (you can use Quorn or other veggie mince) Here is the recipe using Quorn mince:
IT'S VERY TASTY.

To serve 4
400g Quorn mince
75g pearl barley
75g jumbo oats
45g vegetable suet
1 smallish red onion, finely diced
Oil for frying
1 tsp salt
2 tsp ground pepper
Half tsp cayenne pepper
Half tsp Allspice
Half Veg stock cube/tsp stock powder or tsp marmite.
50-75ml whisky according to taste (optional)

Prepare the day before for best results.

Bring a pan of water to the boil and add the stock/marmite and the barley. Simmer for 30mins.
When the barley is nearly ready, fry the onion and Quorn mince in oil for a few minutes. Drain the barley and mix together. Allow the mixture to cool, then add the oats, suet and seasoning plus whisky if using.

If you haven't obtained a vegetarian haggis skin (these can be ordered online) pack the mixture tightly into a heatproof dish and wrap the dish with tinfoil. Or ideally pack into a haggis skin. Or use a "boil in the bag" bag. Allow it to rest overnight or for up to a few days to mature.

When your Burns Supper is imminent cook the haggis through until piping hot by ideally boiling for 30 mins if in a haggis skin, or steaming for 45 mins or baking in the oven for 30 mins if in a dish that can't be submerged

Remembering when Aidan applied for PIP

We’re in a pickle with pip.
Not a sandwich or salad in sight,
the sight of those forms - oh what a fright!
And then the one to one!
Let’s hope the assessor is kind
for a nasty one would be a bind.
So we’ll all be under the cape
to comfort our Aidan
(we’ll take many cakes)
and the pusscats will help,
they won’t even yelp
if someone stands on their tail,
So let’s just make sure Aidan won’t fail

Barbara no this is a different haggis recipe more homemade with lentils not quorn mince.

No need to worry about the funeral yet we are just slowly getting there.


Glad you enjoyed the omelette

Kath the PIP poem was really good and so apt for our Aidan and is.. the cats etc.

Darcey had the girls over for fishy lattes the other day Kari has to serve them and clean up after the litter flicking :roll:

Yes its making sense exactly...a poem bit and so on exactly! Not bossy all. I hope it's really popular.

Thanks for this haggis recipe although I really lived the one you posted before. I've cooked it twice now it's the nicest!

Hi Joan great idea.i am so pleased we're all on board with the ideas for the cafe.

I hope all is well with mig and Carol's knee isnt too sore t4591

Just back from a village meeting in the Church - I had to light the fire I'm freeeeeezing!

Love

Toni xx

frogmorton

Just nipping in to do breakfast....

I'm starving!

Not vegan but looks rather nice eggs benedict on hash browns

Today I have to get the house back in order and hope it's not raining. Those parish magazines, I meant to deliver yesterday, won't deliver themselves :oops:

One of the neighbours from over the rd might be popping in for a cuppa too.

No sign of Carol _ hope that doesn't mean her knee has been playing up again :?

Miss Sleek has just arrived back from her early morning escapades bless her all chilly of fur but bright-eyed. I think she's been up to Pendle hill and called in to see Tosca. They are watching Love Island later 'binge watching' so I am told :roll:

A quick wave to Joan hope all is well with you Sue and the doggies Did you watch Paul O'grady last night? and Call the Midwife?

Love to everyone else

Daily Poem
(Another memory of our recent past, featuring dear Aidan)

Potterig

Aidan’s in a dither
and can’t think where to start
should it be the ironing?
or in the kitchen making tarts?
Now Toni’s had a frightful scare
and feeling quite afraid
those naughty spids don’t really care
whose bedroom they invade!
Those 8 legged peeples MUST be taught!
We’ll give them jobs to do.
If pottering is good for us,
it’s good for spiders too.



Joan, you are welcome. I chose the Quorn recipe as I know you have used Quorn mince before, and thought it might be easier for you to try.

Toni, Hmm eggs Benedixt, it looks delicious, thank you. One of our neighbours have two cats, a black one and a ginger one. But we haven't seen the black one for a while. But there is a new black and white one suddenly appeared and we've see him/her scapping with the ginger one (who is an original scaredy cat). So we wonder if new cat is a replacement for the black one. I wonder if Sleek has heard any announcements on the Daily Mews.
:animal_busy:

Barbara, I think the Quorn one might be easier as you just add the Quorn mince to all the other ingredients. It's very rare that I post in any other thread except the cafe. Although I do enjoy the word challenges. But the cafe will always be my first love.

Carol, I hope your knee is settling down.
mig, so glad you are still in remission and hope it continues.

Goat Cheese and Spinach Omelette

SERVES: 2
Ingredients:

3 large eggs

300g (10.5oz) baby spinach

2 tablespoons of goat cheese in cubes (or feta)

1 tablespoon of olive oil

Small pinch of black pepper

Recipe Summary

Egg, in my opinion is a nutrient powerhouse. The egg white is packed full of protein while the yolk is a good source vitamin D, vitamin A and vitamin B2.

Preparing spinach is easy. But people often forget how useful nutritionally this vegetable is. Apart from the association with Popeye, spinach; like eggs is packed full of nutrients. It is high in vitamin K, vitamin A, magnesium, iron and the list goes on.

This quick cook recipe (14 minutes) also brings in goat cheese. While it is not to everyone’s palate, many of our members use this on a daily basis. If you don’t like goat cheese, feta can be use as an alternative.

Method:

Boil a small amount of water in a saucepan. Drop in spinach and cook just until wilted. Drain and chop coarsely. Stir in the cheese.

Beat the eggs with a fork in a medium bowl. Add in a pinch of black pepper. Heat the olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium-high heat until hot. Pour in egg. Tilt the egg from side to side. Add in the spinach mixture over the omelette. Continue to cook until almost set, and the bottom is golden.

frogmorton

Kath thank you for the omelette mine's a chickpea one ta v much yummy

now I LOVE that poem very very much it's all about us the ending is perfect made me smile yes pottering must be good for s*****s too

I've had a word with Miss Sleek she is going to check in with Tosca (who reads all the papers) and actually do a recce around your area see what she can come up with. She is a bit concerned if pusskin is being bullied and reckons she might have to 'sawt thins owt'.

Joan I think Scoland are getting some snow for sure I hope we don't I'm scared of driving in it and as Aidan said we all start 'Ninny walking'!

I wonder how Barbara's brother is getting o after his chemo - exhausted I should think :?

No sign of Carol I do hope she's ok with that knee

How gorgeous does our Church look tonight?

Good morning everyone chilly here now think that will be the last rain for a while, but what about snow?? :shock:



anyone got some? Anyone ding 'Ninny walking'?

Barbara I am very pleased your bro is doing ok still I imagine 'they' know what they are doing and the protocol for the trial means a 3 week gap this time :? Lucy had all sorts of gaps it seemed with hers but those who had tumours or breast cancer the gaps always seemed the same (allowing for ok blood results of course). Long may he keep well t4591

Your poor neighbour must be heartbroken Still at least she's over that vile man and only had this loss to deal with. I hope she is lucky and the house the council finally find is in a good area for the kids ((()))

I sit on a stool to cook always Barbara it makes a difference Tip - don't buy the ready made veggie haggis the recipe I PM'd from Kath is far far superior.

Right what shall we have for our breakfast this morning?




That'll do nicely!

Hi to Joan I'm sure you'll be in soon. I hope you don't have snow ((())) Charley is trying to write some words to say at their Grandad's funeral.

Love to everyone

Daily Poem

Your Daily Dose Of Debt
by Kathleen

Tired of all those credit cards
and loans that you can get
to help you cope with all your bills?
Your daily dose of debt.

Do you have a store card?
Or did you say "No - blow it!"
Are you sick of people asking
"What's in your wallet?"

When you take the dog out
for a visit to the vet
and he later sends the bill -
that's your daily dose of debt.

Have you planned a holiday
but don't know which is best?
Just stop awhile and think about
your mortgage interest.

Did you take out more insurance
for your personal protection?
It's just one more brown envelope
to add to your collection.

While wading through the junk mail,
how could we forget
that every day the postman brings
our daily dose of debt.

+++++++++++++++++++++++

Joan, Bless you, Holly picked up our few bits this morning bless her. Her dad has been taking Esme to school on these cold mornings. I see them go to the car park and she looks very grumpy. Vay stays home with her aunty and the dog.

Toni, no ninny walking here, it's sunny, but that wind is freezing. I managed to wobble over to Holly's flat this morning. Got in OK, but on the way out Holly had to grab me from behind as I almost fell off the step. :roll: Good job she was strong and quick. It's not often I do that and now I know why. :shock: For goodness sake, it's only like walking about 2 yards! My GP sent the practice nurse to take my blood pressure this morning too, 150/80. It's the first check since she added my 3rd tablet. It's the lowest it's been for years.
Breakfast, anything with egg is OK by me thank you.
I hope Charlie manages to finishher eulogy for granddad. I like this by Christina Rossetti.

"Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad."

Heart breakingly beautiful.

Barbara, I feel so sorry for your neighbour - and you. I wonder what will happen to the house. Thank goodness she has someone to help her out until the council sort something out. Then of course she will have the worry of claiming for Housing Benefit to help pay the rent. :roll:

Sleek, Mew mew purr, I'm not sure which of the two pusskins was being bullied. They both sauntered off in different directions.

Kale and Mushroom Toasted Quinoa Pilaf

SERVES: 4
Ingredients:

120g (4.2oz) quinoa
600ml (1.05 pint) hot chicken or vegetable stock
200g (7oz) sliced mushrooms
2 large handfuls of kale (woody stems torn out)
1tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed (or you can use dried garlic granules or ready made paste)

To season:
1tbsp lemon juice
2tbsp parmesan cheese (or for a diary free version, try nutritional yeast)
Black pepper to taste

Recipe Summary

Here’s a warming, super healthy, arthritis friendly dish to start your New Year with. Quinoa (pronounced keen-wa) is a small seed that is cooked and served like rice or couscous. It is gluten free with a nutty, mild flavour and is unusual in that it is a complete plant protein source, containing all 9 amino acids. It’s quite widely available in supermarkets and health food stores nowadays. I find the flavour best if it’s lightly toasted first in the pan before you add any fluid. If you struggle to find it or want a substitute this recipe will also work well with brown rice but you will need to adjust the cooking times accordingly.

Enjoy vegetables at their seasonal best. Kale is available in abundance in the winter and is a wonderful source of vitamin K which some studies suggest can slow cartilage deterioration in osteoarthritis. It also contains sulphurous compounds that have an anti-inflammatory effect. Mushrooms add a good dose of healthy fibre and folate.

A good tip for using lemon juice when you have arthritis in your fingers, is to pop the lemon in the microwave for 10 seconds before cutting open to squeeze. This makes it much easier to extract the juice. If you don’t have a microwave you can also just roll it on a board firmly a few times before slicing.

Method:

Put the quinoa in a pan over a medium heat. Let it sit and toast until it begins to pop, then remove from the heat and stir in the olive oil, garlic, hot stock, mushrooms and kale.

Cover the pan and simmer until all the stock has been absorbed and the little white edge of the quinoa seed has separated from the grain.

Fluff up the quinoa and season with the lemon juice, parmesan and pepper. Serve immediately or allow cooling at room temperature. Enjoy as a warm salad.

Afternoon everyone...waiting for it to be 5pm and then I am lighting the fire I am COLD!!

Barbara your neighbour will be just fine so long as they house her fairly quickly and it's a nice area. I really do not like that man

I think you are almost certainly right that trial has definitely bought your brother more time which is fabulous and will help future people too

Been over to see Kari this afternoon then got back and did a little ironing.

I have fallen too once or twice, but don't plan on telling and Drs :? nope!

Great poem Kath!! I think we can all relate to that :roll: Cheers postie! Weird world we live in all credit less saving...

How lovely that you got over to Holly's Well done you are one determined lady that's for sure. I'm glad Holly saved our poet Laureate! Your BP is low for you? That is good, but so long as it doesn't make you wobbly. Mine is usually 100/60-something. It was 90/60 when I was pregnant until I got pre-eclampsia :shock:

Charley has two poems to choose between and some words of her own (with my help) we shall see what she wants to do and feels she can cope with bless her. I like that one too lovely t4591 t115006

Sleek thinks all is well between those two pusskins Tosca is looking into the missing one :animal_busy: Might take a while :roll:

I WANT that pilaf it looks totally yum and healthy too. Thank you

Joan there has been a church here since the 12th Century 'our' Church 1843-1846

There used to be a pub within the present church grounds!!

We had a little sun and yesterday late on some hail!!

Love to mig and Carol hope all is well with both ((()))

some cake anyone?



Cream cake!

Evening all

The wanderer returns I have been a bit occupied.
After my problem with the knee last Wednesday morning. Went to dr as I said in last post on here on Friday I went to the hospital for X-ray thank for your company under the cloak. The pain is better as long. I take all my doses of co-dydramol each day it gets a bit painful and stiff if I sit with my leg in one position too long so I have to keep changing positions with it. I have been sleeping with a cushion between my knees if lying on my side and under my knee when on my back and I am not getting up with as much pain in either my back or my knee. I have now brought one of these special knee pillows. Only got it on Saturday so we will see how that goes. I am now waiting for a appointment date with the physio. I am still asking for ramp on bus so still taking it fairly easy. As in 10 days we will be going to Ramsgate for our youngest GD 18th Birthday party on the 8th. Of February and we will be coming back home 2 later. So I have fingers firmly crossed that the knee continues to behave.

Our eldest granddaughter has at last got a house out of the council which is great as she was in a really bad place before That was damp and always cold. She has moved to Minster which is the next station on the line after Ramsgate where everyone else is . It is about a 10 min train ride. It has 3 bedrooms and not 2 so Lillie now has her own bedroom. And the other 2 are in together. They moved yesterday.

Thank you all for your good wishes with the knee and only time will tell.

Toni Hope all goes well for Lucy and Charley at their grandads funeral. No ninny walking here it is cold and we are still a bit damp but none of that horrible white stuff.

Kath I love the poem pottering a lovely reminder of Aidan and the cafe.

And wow the cafe on its own part of the forum with different areas that’s fantastic thank you mods.

Well that’s exactly Done for tonight must have a little potter as been sitting for quite a while now better get up and move.

Love and sparkles to you all t4591 t4591 t115006 t115006

frogmorton

Good morning everyone

Carol I am very relieved to see you! Just sounds as though you've been busy getting things in order to make your knee more comfortable - very wise indeed especially with the tip to Ramsgate imminent. Hope physio apt comes through quickly for you ((()))

What great news that your eldest GD is getting a property and that it means Lillie is getting her own bedroom bless her. Sounds to be pretty close to everyone else - will she have it for your visit so you can have a nosey?

No snow here so far so no need for any Ninny-walking either long may that last!

Shall we have some breakfast?
French toast - Aidan used to do this for us quite often t4591

Today I am off to our nearby eco shop to discuss recycling for our village with a couple of others. Not sure what the outcome will be we shall see....I already do it but the villagers are interested in recycling stuff the council don't like crisp packets and pet food sachets....

Miss Sleek is still out still trying to sus out the pusskins near Kath's she thinks all is well and has had a word about fighting so we shall see :animal_busy:

Right a quick wave to Joan usually next in after me!

Good afternoon café-friends

back from our meeting about recycling at the eco shop. It was very interesting I think useful in terms of best Kept Village as well. Keeping the village well is also about tidiness and recycling so all good

Joan I was picked up from my door and dropped back off so all good

Thank you everyone is well. Charley's eulogy for her Grandad is all typed up now and printed off just got to get to Tuesday now.

Love to you and Sue ((()))

Thought a slice of cake might go down well?




perfect!
