Choir news

[wiseheart]

Our choir leader has managed to cajole back her pet soprano soloist. As a result, the rest of us have been demoted to background singers again. I seriously doubt that I'll last much longer.

At least I managed to deliver another bag of books to the "Book saver" wagon. They were suitably grateful. I hope many people will enjoy those books in the future. I still have more to give away, and since the book saver is on the same way as school, I'll attend to choir practice for a few more weeks. Until I run off of books I want to get rid of.

I've made bread pudding today. Not the authentic British version, just days old rolls, vanilla custard and tinned mandarine oranges. Originally I wanted to give the canned jackfruit that I had bought out of curiosity a try, but they smelled oddly and tasted of old rubber, so I threw them out. Never buying the stuff again!

I've finished another mini pillow case and started the penultimate one. I hope to finish the last two this week and then fill in the cherry pits. I also brought lots of leftover apples from school, so I'll probably make the apple jam during the weekend, too. Two sorts: the spicy ones with raisins noadvertising gave me the recipe for, and the fragrant ones with elderberries. Well, elderberry syrup, actually, but it's the taste that counts, right?

But ... what about the social contact you have at the rehearsals?

I'll have to continue without it, eventually.

And now I have to google for British bread pudding...

I'm not sure the ones I saw in a cooking book — or in Paul Hollywood's cooking programmes — are the genuine item, but they seemed way to complicated to me. More fussy work than I'd be willing to do for such a simple meal.

Oh man. {{{hugs}}}

Well, yes, sometimes one just has to let go of things when they no longer give one any joy.

I adore a traditional British bread and butter pudding but nowadays I never have left over bread. If it's ever offered as an option for desert in restaurants I always order it...even if I have to take it home to eat the next day.

Those things taste just as good on the next day. ;))

Oh — now I want bread and butter pudding. I like mine made with slices of white bread and butter, with dried fruit and mixed spice scattered in between, and then the egg/milk mixture poured over before baking. Sady S2C doesn't like any sort of hot puddings at all :(
