Anyone here have a kitchen stored in the basement of the RV so that larger cooking projects take place outside?
I note, that I am amazed by what I don't need!
Just wanted to pop in and say hi! This thread goes so fast that I cannot keep up with it. What bits I do read, it sounds like everyone is having fun.

Wow. A fire... hope no one was hurt and all is ok...
Keep us informed on the situation and your upgrade. We miss hearing about the "project"...

Wish we had time this trip to get to Whitstable. I wonder if we saw the Thompson shop last time and didn't recognize the name. I'll look up the Felicity Wishes books. Thanks.

Well when Son Of GC comes around and DW and I cxan make it and someone brings enough Taliskers then maybe we can have a real live mutant Karaoke Contest. One of the best ones I was involved with was at our local pub when we lived in Victoria. All contestants names were put in one hat and an equal number of song titles put in another hat. The MC pulled a name and then pulled the song they had to sing. Funniest night of our lives that evening. Learned I could sing Holly Holy by Neil Diamond passably well.

R U an RV Mutant too?
B&B in Faversham:
Our door on the left:
These are Kentish cobnuts from the local farm store:
I had to ask what they are, how to peel them, and what to do with them. Rather recently-picked, these will dry down a bit more to make prime snacking. It turns out they are a variety of hazelnuts or filberts.
Martin says, "nuts to the nutters!"
Sue says, "Cheers!"

Larry rented the flat above as a surprise to me, and I got to meet her. I did buy some of the books, as they are hard to find in the US.... But Martins grand might well know of them.....

Sue if you ever make it to our place I will present you with a miniature Filbert (Hazelnut) Tree for you to take home; either potted or in the shell.
Last year we picked about 40 pounds of the things before we offered the balance to whomever wanted to come to pick them. Super tasting Christmas Time snack and locally grown.

Thanks; we will take you up on that! They were always part of our winter-time, evening in front of the fireplace, routine. Nuts and popcorn.
I actually bought a small hazel tree (4, actually, but only one survived) several years ago. It's only now beginning to show signs of fruiting. They don't need 2 to tango, do they?
Come to our place and we can load you up with black walnuts. Most years the squirrels get the lot, but sometimes I collect and process some too.
Coincidentally, our place is called Walnut Hills for all the trees my great- and great-great grandparents planted there. I have Grandfather's hand-cranked corn sheller to remove the hulls and Daddy's hand built cleaning drum to remove the remaining hull dust before cracking.
See? I couldn't go FT. Too much stuff and too much history. The roots run too deep. OTOH, PT is easy!
Cheers!
Sue

I checked with DD, and while she doesn't know those books, she is interested. Her daughter is a bit young for Felicity, but Dandelion the rabbit...! He looks just the sort! I've only seen one picture of him and love him already.
Thanks for the link. I will share it with Jo.
Cheers!
Sue

Glad to have you pop in. Please do so more often!
I hope that fire was the steak and not the whole kitchen! And no one injured in the making of the film!!!
Keep in touch.
