Everyone’s dressing recipes are so healthy so here is a kiwi classic that you will love or hate.

Tinned sweetened condensed milk, malt vinegar and dry mustard powder, mixed to taste.

It is totally unhealthy but evokes childhood memories of summer salads made with sliced iceberg lettuce, tomato and cucumber.

All these trees were planted since 2010 so they are relatively young

Here are a few to start with.

Will take some close ups of the branches later.

I hadn't heard of Pi day until reading this post.

Baked a pie yesterday without realising the significance of the date.

A precedence has been set with a sheet having been approved in the second submission so will we allow Hal’s submission of another sheet and/or qualify the definition of a blanket to say that the blanket ought to be heavier than a single sheet and roll back Nicole’s submission from 2 years ago and mark Hal’s submission as incomplete?

Would this BB benefit from a clearer definition of what constitutes a blanket?

I think of a blanket as a covering that provides extra warmth with more weight than a sheet.

If it is cotton, would it need to be heavier than a single sheet, ie quilted or padded to provide the extra warmth and weight.

Having said that, would a single layer of polar fleece fabric be considered a blanket?

Would the sheets that have been submitted need to have their submissions rolled back?

Christopher, what have you done?

I am noticing conjoined vegetables now!

Meat pie with reconstituted foraged mushrooms, homemade pastry, homegrown potatoes, beans and kale.

Made a tart for dessert using plums a friend gave us.

No room left to eat it after dinner but it'll keep for afternoon reas and can always take some to work to share with my colleagues.

So odd, I have never encountered conjoined fruit until the peach in the above photo that is growing on one of my stone grown trees.

I was given some homegrown plums and flatto/donut peaches today and guess what??

Yes, another conjoined peach.
