If we were having coffee…or even a cup of tea…we would talk about baking, about this fantastic seasonally appropriate apple and cinnamon cake from Tilly Pamment’s The Plain Cake Appreciation Society and how every cake we have made from that has been excellent.
If we were having coffee…or even a cup of tea…we would chat about how cold it has been in the early mornings, and I say have you seen the forecast for the King’s Birthday holiday weekend? And you say no, and I say it looks like some warmer days are returning. You say oh good!
If we were having coffee…or even a cup of tea…we would mention the situation in New Caledonia over the past two weeks. I say I must listen to this podcast on the situation, and you say yes it looks interesting, and we agree that Deb of Deb’s World will have to cancel her long planned holiday there.
If we were having coffee…or even a cup of tea…we would turn to lighter matters, and you would say you had finally bought this to scoop out pasta or other things. You say it looks useful, and I say I hope so – we will see.
If we were having coffee…of even a cup of tea…I would ask you to stay for dinner. I have made a big pot of soup, filled with split peas, celery, carrots, cavolo nero and a few frozen peas for colour. You say that sounds lovely, and when I tell you there will be cheese and ham toasties on the side, you say even better. So we sit down to dinner and a glass of wine and more conversation.
