Starting a big meal with a salad will help. Also, never forget the diet requirements for health, such as my need to limit sodium. Well done.

I did not eat it much, as our family did not eat it, but I did like it. Mind you, there is not much that I don't like eating, as you know. And I liked blancmange.

Organic Cultivation
Good, I am glad that you find the article useful. A useful addition to any organic gardening strategy is rock dust, which is ground granite. You do not need much, just an application every few years is enough.

TY. I don't want to waste the efforts I have made to lose it by regaining it in 7 or 8 days!
Take care and best wishes for the 2017.

Merry Christmas Veronica! I think your post shows that food can be delicious and healthy at the same time if we are a little bit careful.

Thank you.
Having a good Christmas doesn't necessarily mean having a great pig-out of over indulgence. I don't want to spoil anyone's fun but the health implications of the excess weight are disturbing.
Dusty, have a wonderful holiday with ...

Gardening when you are getting older
My mother used to use cider apple vinegar and honey for osteoarthritis in a knee caused by a road traffic accident. She was convinced that it did some good. .

One dessert was junket. This was milk with vanilla heated to body temperature then set with the addition of rennet. It was often served chilled. It was common in the 1950s, but I have not seen it in many years.

Gardening when you are getting older
I've read that organic apple cider vinegar is good for arthritis. I am beginning to feel the pangs of this occasionally. What I've noticed as I age is that the aches and pains of today may be gone tomorrow! So I just wait...
I've missed a ...

There are many cheeses much better than Cheddar cheese, a highly uninspiring choice compared to most cheeses. Mum only used it for cooking .
