They are a sort of a standalone kitchen unit. There are three more in the sheds if anyone is interested but all need some restoration.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the baking.

Of course for me, being so keen on walking, I'd have to go to the shop on the opposite side of the street from where I'd parked.<BR/><BR/>And Carrie - I'd like your recipe for sweet potato pie as I love sweet potatoes.

I did one once from scratch but I think that's one of those things you only do once in your life just to say you did it. You can get pumpkin puree at Sawers if you are in town. Most recipes you find on the net will be for a deep pie tin instead of the tart tins. <BR/><BR/>If you want to make something akin to pumpkin pie that is supposed to be lumpy looking, I have a recipe for Sweet Potato pie which is lovely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102969.post-1131535776586312172005-11-09T11:29:00.000+00:002005-11-09T11:29:00.000+00:00We got our turkey every year from Noel Stewart, an...We got our turkey every year from Noel Stewart, and tended to use that butcher. Sometimes we went to Kearneys, and it was equally as good.

Can you recommend a good Portglenone butcher. <BR/><BR/>As for young ladies in tight, starched white lab coats spraying perfume - didn't see any. I don't think they'd have wasted scent on us as we were a rough-looking crowd having just tramped around the Forest for more than an hour. They might have sprayed some Jeyes Fluid on us to kill the smell of squirrel dung.Nellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14527285652038975147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102969.post-1131525870002326462005-11-09T08:44:00.000+00:002005-11-09T08:44:00.000+00:00Portglenone retro?

Though I hear that Costcutters rebuilding is now finished. And the Credit Union is getting a facelift too. What next? Aikens gets escalators? And young ladies in tight, starched white lab coats spraying perfume at you when you walk in?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
