Air fryer news

I used it! After weeks of looking at it and trying to think when to use it my sister decided to get me to cook with it.

I was anxious when u first used a pressure cooker. This was far more simple. Set the heat, set the timer. If things need shaking just set the timer to half the full amount, take the food basket out, shake the food, put it back in and reset the timer for the second half of the cooking. So simple and I didn’t realise that it cooks quicker than an oven!

Afternoon tea at the Quarter

Teatime

I went out for afternoon tea with some lovely ladies. It was a spur of the moment thing but I was really pleased to be invited. It’s not something English people do everyday!

The meal included various small sandwiches, mini quiche, a scone with jam and clotted cream, a mini Victoria sponge and a mini chocolate brownie.

And lashings of cups of tea or coffee (normal or decaff). The result was a delicious and tasty meal.

The Quarter cafe is at the Spode Site at Elanora Street, Stoke upon Trent. I think there is another one in the city centre (Hanley). You have to book the tea you can’t just arrive. Service was really good, the waitress was very helpful.

Friends Thai Restaurant..

Just drawn this sign for my friends Thai Restaurant. Sawadee Thai Taste in Stoke-on-Trent. She has a hand written sign in biro saying she is doing take away. But no one can see it. So while I go and collect a meal I’m going to drop this off.

I think in these stressful times it’s important to help out, even though this is only a little help…

So many small local businesses are going to close with the virus impacting on them. I want to support what I can.
