Well, I do.

It closed a month after I moved to Yagnub - I know because I equipped my kitchen there, pretty much (including the Kettle Mafia business, which I know with your memory you'll remember). And I was in Yagnub for 11 months, left last October, so it's been empty about 19 months, if the new gaff opened last month.<BR/><BR/>I think.<BR/><BR/>I'm avoiding work again.

I think some women behave very badly and the odds are all stacked against men at present.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-55930103830645383772007-06-27T10:20:00.000+01:002007-06-27T10:20:00.000+01:00Nope, not a jam making man, though I keep thinking...Nope, not a jam making man, though I keep thinking about it.<BR/><BR/>Poor Al's friend having to comfort instead of being comforted!The Boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06052411992134880131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-68928757531258042112007-06-27T10:15:00.000+01:002007-06-27T10:15:00.000+01:00It happens, once in a while, however carefully you...It happens, once in a while, however carefully you test it. <BR/><BR/>If it's just a few jars, I eat it runny (also goes well with plain Greek yoghurt and maybe a touch of cream, to make ice cream). But it doesn't keep so well, so if there's lots of it, bung it back in the pan, add some liquid or powdered pectin (if you go for the powder, mix it carefully with a bit first or it will go globby) or some lemon juice and reboil. It won't taste quite as good, it'll be a little darker and have a more cooked flavour, but it's quite all right..<BR/><BR/>Not that I'm an expert - anyone else have an opinion?Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-81751658036961615852007-06-27T10:06:00.000+01:002007-06-27T10:06:00.000+01:00We may have to talk about this re-pot thing.

I think there's room in the town for competition - I know plenty of people who used to go over to Harleston to visit the factory shop there. It's a big shop to have been empty for two - or is it three? - years and I'm glad it's open again. <BR/><BR/>I'll have to email you the name - can't talk about people, they might not like it.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-25195184326976704142007-06-27T09:40:00.000+01:002007-06-27T09:40:00.000+01:00Blimey, it's all go in Yagnub, isn't it?So who's s...Blimey, it's all go in Yagnub, isn't it?<BR/><BR/>So who's split from who?
