Crumpets are kind of like yeasty pancakes, but toasted, and English Muffins need to be split and then toasted. Muffins are a thick dense batter you can cut out into rounds, and the crumpets need to be spooned or poured into molds, but both are baked on a griddle pan. Thanks for the prayers! Also for your well wishes Monique! The safety for the car was not as bad as it could have been for a seventeen year old car. We need to replace the shocks at the back, so while it is a bit much at over £300 it is not as bad as I was worried it might be! xoxoMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-77340291144415070162016-09-01T13:34:59.664+01:002016-09-01T13:34:59.664+01:00I love many of your favorite things Marie..fingers...I love many of your favorite things Marie..fingers and toes crossed for the car!La Table De Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04358539954508050792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-17119711205722703672016-09-01T13:24:23.620+01:002016-09-01T13:24:23.620+01:00Your toasted crumpets look like what we call Engli...Your toasted crumpets look like what we call English muffins and I do love them with butter and honey on top.

What a way to spoil a lovely meal out! And just when things were going well too. (((hugs))) I will probably be making my Christmas Cake and Pudding soon! Love and hugs. xoxoMarie Raynerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407913432222377267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-16025893383346681722016-09-01T09:12:46.817+01:002016-09-01T09:12:46.817+01:00Good Morning Marie.
I have prayed for your car. ...Good Morning Marie.<br /><br />I have prayed for your car. I hope it passes everything and that your purse strings are given a little rest. I am saving for my car registration and it is almost a fortnight's money. That is huge bill for me.<br /><br />Today has been a strange day. I took mum out for fish. She loves fish and really hasn't been very well this winter. To today we sat in the sun and feasted of freshly cooked fish and salad. We generally go to this shop or should I say this family run shop. They have always treated my allergies seriously. But today within minutes of finishing my bottom lip started to swell, the roof of my mouth felt like it was lacerated and I had lumps and itches all over. Thankfully there was a pharmacy or chemist as we call it next door and I was able to control the reaction with over the counter medicines. Foolishly I have eaten dinner as my bsl was low and my mouth is on fire. Time for more tablets as the itchies have started too.<br /><br />But after that I went to buy my usual supply of pills and to pick up something I had ordered from a local shop. I fell in love with a flannel quilt there. I am thinking of a way to save for it. Sadly I don't have any flannel in my copious stash. Then my regular quilt shop lady sent me a text so I went to that shop too. Lots of pretties in my day and only some little things were bought. I was very much in control. I am reminding myself I need spending money and airfare home from my Queen Mary trip.<br /><br />Now onto your post. That white quilt is exquisite. Wouldn't it be a slice of heaven to snuggle under it? Enjoy those precious snuggles and cuddles. They are so important for us physically and mentally. My mother doesn't like pasta. I just ate the left over pasta from Wednesday night. I love the stuff too. The smells of Christmas are similar in our household. We even have some hurricane lanterns that I fill with cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise etc. and the put candles inside. It looks lovely at night. It really is time to steep fruit and begin cakes and puds. It is way too hot to eat them but we do Yorkshire style with cheese and cake.<br /><br />God bless your day darling girl.Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15283293507101152512noreply@blogger.com
