Choir news
Sep. 9th, 2025 09:35 pmOur 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?
