I feel inclined to join you in hiding in a cupboard until around February when we might be nearer the top of the waiting list for the vaccine. Or probably under the sofa, as all the cupboards are full of cake tins, ingredients or cook books!<br />Happy (as you can make it) Christmas to you and yours!!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896642794207631523.post-28743190201016288082020-12-21T23:32:40.853+00:002020-12-21T23:32:40.853+00:00Nut cakes and apple cakes are always going to enti...Nut cakes and apple cakes are always going to entice me to eat more than is good for me and so one that has both is just perfect. I've NEVER found a hand-written recipe in all my years of buying pre-loved books. How do you do it? I made an appointment for Christmas Eve to drop stuff off at a local charity shop but then we went into tier 4 and everything shut again. I'm getting into the cupboard with the charity shop bags and a bottle of gin and I think I'll surface some time in 2021.Phil in the Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15904292856978631382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896642794207631523.post-24861051249760315972020-12-16T13:28:04.898+00:002020-12-16T13:28:04.898+00:00I hadn't thought of that but now you mention i...I hadn't thought of that but now you mention it, I think I will, with a note saying how good it is!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896642794207631523.post-39579576520720492512020-12-16T12:49:03.545+00:002020-12-16T12:49:03.545+00:00When you return the book are you going to insert t...When you return the book are you going to insert the recipe?sillygirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09971787430517830586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896642794207631523.post-69353629923554834832020-12-15T22:58:35.844+00:002020-12-15T22:58:35.844+00:00Angela, luckily all of our local charity shops (we...Angela, luckily all of our local charity shops (we have five in this small town) are now accepting all kinds of donations. People from the Hospice shop have been to the house and taken the large items of furniture that they wanted and a "tools for Africa" charity has been and raided the shed. So, bit by bit we are re-homing all of the things my dad doesn't need and hopefully very little will end up at the tip. That's a very satisfying thought.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896642794207631523.post-245479631360370572020-12-15T17:11:09.144+00:002020-12-15T17:11:09.144+00:00I had that book - it has just gone into a charity ...I had that book - it has just gone into a charity shop box this afternoon. Now I need to find a CS which will take my big box of books. It does seem that everyone has had a clear out during lockdown - and those of us doing genuine house clearances/retirement downsizing are struggling to pass things on!! Our local CS now ask you to [a] say in advance what you are donating, and [b] take the appointment time they give you for a drop off. And many are refusing books round hereAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.com
