[lace-chat] Re: [lace] To our Aussie and NZ spiders
Dear Liz, Thank you for your thoughts on our ANZAC day celebrations tomorrow. Fortunately one of the bigger services in Adelaide will be held just round the corner from where we live. We will be going to the Youth Vigil service at 8pm tonight then attend the dawn service in the morning. Sadly heavy rain and thunderstorms are forecast for early morning tomorrow so best I find my raincoat and waterproof shoes, items that don't see much light of day in this fair city, the driest city, in the driest state of the driest continent. Cheers, Shirley T. - 10mm of rain overnight and this morning. On 24-Apr-15 3:01 PM, The Lace Bee wrote: Dear gentle spiders, In a few hours it will be dawn in Australia and New Zealand. As the sun comes up on the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli landings I hope and pray that the spirit of ANZAC lives on with you all and that the dawn services take place without incident. Just a little over 20 hours from now, I and my DH will be watching the sun rise here in the UK thinking again of you all and are attending the National Arboretum to pay our respects.

Re: [lace-chat] Re: [lace] Re Susan of Tennessee
Nice to hear from you Tamara - don't believe you've posted for such a long time. I used to enjoy your 'play on words' - made me stop and do some research, other than lace. :-) Lorraine Hatcher was asking after you the other day. Cheers, Shirley T. - Adelaide, 27C today climbing to 34C by Wednesday. I guess summer hasn't finished with us yet!!

Re: [lace-chat] Teacher?
And it will become even smaller in 2012 when we will be hosting the international convention for the amateur radio group 2012 YL International Meet and in 2014 when the international lace organisation OIDFA conducts their convention and meets here in beautiful downunder Adelaide, South Australia. Hope to meet up with lots of you then. Cheers, Shirley T. (VK5YL) - Adelaide, South Australia where there are signs that spring is in the air. Strange how these things happen isn't it?? snip Explaining to that group how I knew Shirley (2 different hobbies), another lady emailed to say she was also interested in the other hobby... just goes to prove how small the world is! Good morning! I've met a lady in the Cedar Rapids, Iowa area looking to maybe start making lace. Are there any teachers out that way that are interested?

Re: [lace] Re: [lace-chat] Pease pudding
Hi David and other curious people :-) , David in Ballarat wrote: G'day Shirl, Thanks for the memories and now I must go check out my Mum's cookery book for the recipe of the pease pudding and stottie cakes - haven't had them for years. If you find them, could you send them over please. Sound scrummo and I've often wondered what they were. Thanks David in Ballarat I've found the following recipes - now to search for the stottie cakes Recipes enjoyed by the Geordie folk (North East UK) PEASE PUDDING Two Optional Recipes Recipe 1 Ingredients: 250 gm of diced bacon (no fat or rind) Salt Pepper 475g (about a one pound pack) Split Peas Method:(1) Place Split Peas in large ovenproof dish. Cover with Water 475g of split peas to every 2 litres of water add salt and pepper to season. Allow to stand over night. Add small pieces of chopped bacon (not the fat or rind) into mixture. As to your own requirement, remembering this is a split pea rather than a meat recipe. Place middle shelf of oven, Gas Mark 5 150C - cook until set. Until this reaches a nice medium consistency (not too thick ot thin as once cool it sets even thicker.. When cooled place in refrigerator. Chill and serve with, salad or - with cold ham sandwiches or even with Roast Potatoes and beef with Gravy. Many grown up's today will remember waiting as children, for this being made, and then eating it hot, pasted onto fresh bread and butter. PEASE PUDDING Recipe Two Ingredients: Large Ham Shank Salt Pepper 475g (about a one pound pack) Split Peas Method:(2) Place Large sized ham shank in large cooking pot cover with water. Bring to the boil, then drain the water. Replace with new clean water, and bring back to the boil. Remove the ham shank, break off very small pieces of the meat into your stock. Enough to your own taste. Not a lot though as this is a split pea recipe rather than a meaty recipe. Add the split peas (475g to every 2 litres of water) turn heat off and allow to steep for 4 hours. Next bring back to boil and then simmer, keep stirring and checking, as you only want the mix, to reach a nice medium consistency, (not too thick or thin) as once this cools it sets thicker. When cooled place in refrigerator. Chill and serve with, salad or - with cold ham sandwiches or even with Roast Potatoes beef and Gravy. Has many other uses.

Re: [lace-chat] Dating after sixty (lace-chat)
Hi Helene, Helene, the froggy from Melbourne, who's sick of the heat. Why can't we exchange with some of that lovely snow you're having in Europe and the US, I don't know!! I do, I was talking to a lady in Ingersoll (near Toronto) this morning and she said that the temperature was minus 9 degrees F with a wind chill factor taking the temp to minus 32 deg F. The back lawn was covered with 2 feet of snow! and she was sick of 'cabin fever'.

Hi All, especially the Oz spiders on this list, There is about 65mm (in the last 24 hours) in my bucket outside and their is concern about the Patawolonga River flooding down at Glenelg, a suburb at the coast in a direct line west (approx 8kms of the City of Adelaide). It is fantastic to have so much rain - I don't think I've seen as much rain since we moved from Melbourne to Adelaide 13 years ago. Our local park will probably have ducks on it in the morning.

[lace-chat] Pigs not Cows
Hi Ruth and all, Yep, you are correct Ruth, we have bronze pigs in the Mall in Adelaide. I've got no idea why they were made and installed but they are a talking point with visitors. Don't think that pig reaching into the rubbish bin has ever found anything to eat though. :-) We do have the Mt. Compass Cow Race though - hmm, its only about half an hour down the road from me, maybe I should go to the next event and report back to you all.

Re: [lace-chat] More Good ole days
Hi Spiders, This reminds me of a couple of weeks ago when I was in General Trader (a super-duper kitchen shop) buying a new sauce pot. An elderly gentleman came in asking for a larding needle. I wonder how many remember those? The *young things* behind the counter had no idea what he was talking about and I just smiled. He saw me smile and said 'now there is a lady who knows her cooking' :-) BFN, Margery. PS Bathbrick? I have no idea ... I think it was a form of sharpening stone?
