I’ve managed to fit in several episodes of Perry Mason, two films – Darkest Hour and Four Weddings and a Funeral – and several quiz shows.
It’s not been a bad day, but it’s not one to be proud of, and not really a good use of a day when I may only have around 2,920 left. (That’s based on the Biblical three score years and ten).
That’s the limit of my inspiration today. I’ll have to write an extra-long post tomorrow.
The pictures are from the days when I did do things. Apple juice and Peppermint Creams.
Peppermint Creams
To make or bake anything these days takes a lot of planning. It’s a good thing we have plenty of time! I am going through recipe books to see what I can make with what I’ve got. The peppermint cremes look lovely and all those bottles of apple juice..! Mmmmm!!
It used to be so easy. Shops open 24 hours, virtually nothing out of stock and a huge kitchen to work in. 🙂
If only I’d known…
I keep saying that! 😀
🙂
The apple juice and peppermint creams look good, Quercus!
Thank you. To be honest, the peppermint creams were a lot of work to make something that disappeared almost instantly. 🙂
A sign they were well made and very tasty. 🙂
🙂 Thank you.

Love anything with Hugh Grant in it. That’s no waste of time in my book. And your treats look very tasty – no matter when you made them.
🙂 It’s surprising how easy it is to forget the things you used to do.
Sure would like to try one of your peppermint creams.
When I make them again I will write about it in detail.
The beige peppermint creams would be like Kendal Mint Cake and go very well, I should think.
I did think of Kendal Mint Cake but even though I prefer brown most of it seems to be white.
Tautology makes a change from alliteration 🙂
🙂
Very nice peppermint creams. Maybe you could make some today?
No sugar and no flavouring, but I will try to get some with the next delivery.
No sugar and no flavouring do get in the way! You can crush granulated sugar to make icing sugar but it must be a faff, even if you have some of that.
We have some brown sugar but that is likely to lead to something which looks unfortunate and beige. 🙂
It would, wouldn’t it 😊
🙂 Yep!
Love 4 weddings….
Yes, excellent film. We were discussing how different the script might have been if same sex marriage had been available at the time.
That’s very true, because as Hugh grant states at one point in the movie, it turns out they did know people who had a long term relationship and were reasonably happy
Julia can’t resist looking at me during the funeral scene – she seems to derive some amusement from the words “fat, and terribly rude”. I’m not sure why…
Lol….😉
Those bottles of apple juice look amazing. I don’t actually know what a peppermint creme is, but they look tasty. Buck up. All shall be well again, just not soon. It’s starting to hit me too, but we’re all going to have to work out what we can do to stay sane. Blogging is one!
Peppermint creme is basically icing sugar and mint essence. If someone invented it today it would probably need to have a health warning on the box. 🙂
Yes, definitely time to dig in and do more blogging!
