The kitchen looks like the Wreck Of The Hesperus
I've been busy preparing my entries in support of the new Flower Show.
I've made a couple of novelty animals out of veg and fruit, baked buiscuits and a fruit cake and am presently waiting for my Quiche Lorraine to fly free of the oven. I will boil my egg entries and pick my flower entries tomorrow.
Tonight I'll pop up to the Hall to arrange my " art" entries.
Mary and I called up to the hall to see how the preparations were going, and everything looked calm and sorted . I am intrigued to see how many entries come in.
Those biscuits wouldn't make it to the show if they were here!! Good luck with your entries!!
ReplyDeleteThey have lost their sheen because I put them into the fridge
DeleteCan't wait for the Blue Ribbons!
ReplyDeleteWe will see what Terry comes up with
DeleteThe vegetable dog's head looks just like Mary! Spooky really.
ReplyDeleteIts a lion lol
DeleteI knew it was a lion!
DeleteI thought a moose. LOL.
DeleteWell - I never knew that Mary was a lion. I thought she was a Welsh terrier!
DeleteIt looks just like Parsley the lion! x
DeleteThat's the idea
DeleteWhy was Parsley decapitated?
DeleteA corner of disarray in the cottage? Slovenly witch.
ReplyDeleteI'm so ashamed
DeleteYou have no shame. You wear Crocs. QED.
DeleteI shan't say anything about making Quiche Lorraine a day in advance and serving it cold. It would only add to my popularity on these pages(poor me).
ReplyDeleteWhat's that aubergine and satsuma thingy? I am intrigued by its seeming simplicity.
Congrats on the biscuits - for a moment I thought they were burgers (made with minced pork).
Good luck, may the best concoction win,
U
Looks like you have been having fun, enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI have and thank you for the postcard x
DeleteHe He - you should see my kitchen and I'm just doing the teas!
ReplyDeleteKaren...i know...you got the bum deal
DeleteI love Parsley the lion 💕
ReplyDeleteOh Parsley the Lion ! I love him and hope he wins though you may need to restick his cheek and add some whiskers !
ReplyDeleteFruit cake looks good and I love the lion.
ReplyDeleteI love you veggie animals. Parsley for the lion's mane was an inspired choice. Close-ups would be nice.
ReplyDeleteIve used him before. I just wanted some extra entries
DeleteNo matter what, you are having fun. That is the prize.
ReplyDeleteNo pressure to do anything else too lol
DeleteJohn- what is that satsuma doing to the aubergine?!x
ReplyDeleteThe satsuma is a snail climbing the abergine of course
DeleteI'm very pleased to hear that x
DeleteI thought it was a rather odd robin sitting on a log.
DeleteGood job your not judging
DeleteEnjoy the Flower Show.
ReplyDeletecan't wait to hear your report on this year's festivities!
ReplyDeleteWhat did the aubergine ask the Satsuma?
ReplyDeleteDo you speak Mandarin?
Boom boom
Deleteit sounds like a much more relaxed flower show for you this year! love the lion.
ReplyDeleteYes... no responsibility
DeleteI think they're all brilliant and I hope you win lots of first places. :)
ReplyDeleteThe kitchen clean-up can wait.
Hugs!
Good luck! Your veggie art looks particularly creative!
ReplyDeleteI am multi skilled
DeleteI love the way you always hide behind everyone else 🤣 !!! XXXX
ReplyDeleteYouve noticed
Deletea kitchen is a satisfying place in many ways after a baking session! All the best for the show
ReplyDeleteThank you chuck
DeleteFingers crossed everything goes well for the new committee. Are you willing to share your boiled fruitcake recipe? It has a history of its own on your pages.
ReplyDeleteNo have a look on the flower show website it's there
Deletehttp://trelawnydflowershow.blogspot.com
DeleteThat's an unusual boiled fruit cake recipe, I've never seen one before that had tinned pineapple in it, but I suppose it adds a little more moisture. The boiled fruitcake recipe that I use has alcohol in it.
DeleteGood luck.
ReplyDeleteMy kitchen looked a right mess after doing the toasted coconut chocolate icing covered cake for our show - and it didn't win anything.
But you've still got to beat my 2x firsts, 1 second and 4 thirds!
Bring on the contest sister
DeleteLooking yummy! Best of luck with the contest and the flower show.
ReplyDeleteBarb
Your edible entries look very tempting and I love the butternut lion. Good luck tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteCheeers chuck
DeleteBoiling your egg entries sounds like a euphemism to me. So, just when you thought your Trelawnyd village life was over, here you go again. Let that be a lesson to all of us.
ReplyDeleteI'm no type running the show, just playing
DeleteGosh impressive entries John I would have a hard time not eating the cookies before the event. Take lots of photos.
ReplyDeleteI made 15
DeleteOnly 5 left
Good to read you are up and running again in the flower show John - life is going on and you are participating. Great news.
ReplyDeleteWatch this space to see if I win anything
DeleteOooh, and a plate of cookies (sorry... biscuits) just for me!
ReplyDeleteFat bastard peanut biscuits smothered in chocolate
DeleteI've just died and gone to heaven!
DeleteMostly John, good on you for taking part! Many of the small fairs around here are dying out because no one wants to participate.
ReplyDeleteRemember I am going head to head with my nemesis. Terry
DeleteBert Fry and Joe Grundy...
DeleteExactly !
DeleteYes right then, I will get into the competitive spirit.
DeleteHe shall rue the day, he took on John Grey!!!
Have fun - and good luck.
ReplyDeleteLove the Lion, very clever and the snail was a bit of magic too. I have no imagination and would find it very tricky to come up with novelty veg anything! Glad you are having fun..... these last few posts have been very much lighter; I'm very pleased for you... hope you win!
ReplyDeleteJo in Auckland
Love your entries. They look to be prize winners. What a fun event. We have a big fair ever year, but I never participate. I do enjoy seeing what others enter, as well as sample lots of goodies on offer. Good luck John!
ReplyDeleteCali G
So everyone has to make the boiled fruit cake from the same recipe?? How does one judge the results--they should in theory all be identical. Or do people cheat? This is a mystery of Welsh Village Life for those of us who live in upstate New York...
ReplyDeleteAnyway it's all wonderful; thanks for the look in.
Just heard that terry burnt his...im already in the lead
DeleteIt all looks delicious - good luck! And I love the lion and the snail - I miss the online contest you ran!
ReplyDeleteOoh, those choccy biscuits look delicious. I'm sure I could demolish the lot in a few minutes. Good luck at the flower show.
ReplyDeleteGood luck 🙂
ReplyDeleteLove the butternut squash! Do you eat your creations?!
