[Night Train]

Hi @Night Train how are you doing?

I wonder if there is room for talk of mud kitchens in a cooking forum.

Well, it encourages the little ones to play cook so why not?

hi @Night Train, how are you

Good, but overly busy. Far too much stuff to do and no time for a rest.

Hello NT - good to see you.

Hi @Shaun, daft idea, can you share threads across fora, so say a thread about food and nutrition in perhaps a cycling forum also appear in a cooking forum under the title of food for sport?
Generating crosstalk, interest and traffic in both sites.

I remain utterly unconvinced that Australia is a warm, hot, dry, arid country.

No, sadly that's not something we can do.

On a different note. My chooks are now 5 in number (and they are not happy about the weather either)

My original 2...

and my new 3

They are here for a retirement (the new ones that is), the new ones and totally free-range over my 5 acres and given that there are no actual boundaries to stop them going further if they wanted to, as far as they like really! that in reality means my garden and veg plot mind you! One is 6 years old, the big black one. The 2 red/brown ones are 3 years old and my 2 , 18 months and 5-6 months. They can lay as and when they want to and I am not bothered about the shape of the egg or if it has wrinkles in the shell - this is often a reason for killing a bird - wrinkles or the fact that the egg is the wrong shape! Plus the newbie black one has deformed feet - another reason for slaughtering a perfectly good bird that can live to being 12 years old. The new 3 were all free to a good home via a friend of a friend of a friend....

The past couple of days I have been getting a bit of a prickle to bake something and not sure why

Sounds all right to me. Chief taster standing by.

You could bake a ginger cake or ginger biscuits for the challenge. Doesn't Parkin have ginger in it?
