They’re working to a tighter budget on ingredients and time, so the filling will be minced. Hand chopped gives a better texture. The seasoning will be a pre-made spice mix, not freshly ground, and will probably have more of the cheaper spices and less of the expensive ones.

They’re not as good as home made ones.

@height8 I’m working on that. This morning’s outing to a coffee shop required me to work out how to edit actions in Drafts. I’m sure it’s changed since last time I used it. Also, must turn of autocorrect on the phone because the note that turned up was nothing like what I was trying to type. Maybe I should have put my glasses on.

  • Look at to-do list
  • Do the things

To do:

  • make biscuits
  • preserve lemons
  • I’m sure there was something else, but I can’t remember what it was.

I use a thermometer when I make green tea. Everything else is either boiling or guessed. I don’t care enough to replace this one before it reaches the end of its natural life.

Aside: I’ve never managed a succesful repair of anything with Sugru.

Pig’s trotters are simmering. Step 1 of pork pie for the weekend.

@height8 Yes, ours lifts off an electric base. It is very convenient.
