I make my own steak and ale pie, it's a recipe I knobbled from somewhere else and adapted it to suit me. I don't do pastry though, I cheat and buy it frozen. My pastry is like concrete, or so my mum says |

Really crammed full of steak and it's huge, all at a decent price too. I'll remember the Anglers Arms Dave, well it's not a name I'm likely to forget is it |

Its a great pub with superb food, eat outside if good weather like we did last year. About 1/4 mile walk from Haverthwaite steam railway station. A good day out on the boats and train with a cracking meal in between. The Unicorn in Ambleside, 50 yards from the Rule, is excellent for steaks too |

Woke up too what looked like someone had maybe hacked my computer to use the Skype feature on it also. Still can't get into some of my links like earthbopping.net. Verizon rebooted my phone also. As you know it has an computer built into it also. Went and got my sister...took her to Shari's Restruarnt, she said she wanted chicken fried steak..she can't eat regualr steak, has no teeth to do that with and won' t wear her dentrures. Bought her some clothes, gave her 20 dollars, and made her an strawberry crream cheese cake for dinner tonight and noodles afredo with chicken and spinach and top the creamy mixture with chicken tenders, and she has flakey buttermilk biscuits...put liitle picks around the outside of the cheese cake that says happy birthday and in interior center pick with ribbons of all colors. Pit her clothes into an bag that had all kinds of things on it ..like "live it up!....Have an great day!...so forth.....Sang "Happy Birthday on the way home and it's done for another year, she got an card from one of the church folks also. So, am takign it easy now. Last nogth stayed up until 2 am reading an Virginia Hisotrical Society booklet on line...the lady that made thsi book really landed into anther person most professionally about doing genenalogy and what yo do if you want it be professionally done. First thing is stop adding things that sound like something else. You would of laughed your head off...he said something about this person's "mansion house" like the ones in old merry England, his legacy name...and she said....this guy must be blind and not know the truth about what houses are like over there in England for "mansions"....as she said, she had never seen any in Virginia the caliber of the castles and manors in England...ever. He sited the house wih 28 rooms, and she said she had the house plans before her and couldn't count more then 15 rooms total, i fthat... and of those 8 of them were bedrooms. Big house it was but hardly an English styled "Manor House".Anway, she just ripped this fella to shreds...and you have no idea how I've felt like doing that also reading some of the things others have written through the years. Like she says also...they never leave an way to dispute an thing they say either to them personally. Thye imply things that are not truthful either...rather then giving evidence of the reason why they say something in particualr. At any rate, I finised with reading about witches" over there also along with some of the accused names. I think most of them might of been the "beguine" ladies movement though...and no doubt "Quakers" took off afterwards...while the witches were casting spells the Beguine and "Quakers" simply felt that one doesn' t need church rituals to commune with God. So it is that one of the Langhorn's had the wife of Elizabeth Dandridge...and this is part of the first family of George Washington's wife. Rather or notits the truth, hard telling they supposedly closed up their books on their family legacy. The family makes an possible third person thatwe could be related to...besides the Lucus and Larcome kin...though I must admit..I've never seen Larkin anything other then Larkyn in England. So anyway, I guess I can now proceed an bi tmor eon teh writing, I found some more about people involved with the East India Trade Company...though I've never heard of it mentioned as that, it was the British East India Trrade Company from Wikipedia. Anyway, hubby now home, it's making dinner time, talk later on. Day went quickly!. |
