The Breakfast Club Returns!

[LilyLangtrey]

Good evening, Clunkers!

Welcome to the Breakfast Club where the kettle is permanently on, the drinks flow and the snacks are both self-replenishing and calorie-free.

We start each day with a look at history and a tribute to a brave or inspiring woman. Mostly though, we just chat randomly about current affairs, recipes, life in lockdown, literature, music and anything else that comes into our heads.

Veteran Clunkers welcome. Anyone else who wants to join in the chat - sense of humour essential! - welcome.

Kettle's on ☕️☕️☕️

Ohh.... I think I will move straight from scones and bubbly to cocktails. That looks too delicious to pass on

Be careful and check before using the strawberries Gramgram. I made jelly and put kiwi fruit in it and it didn't set.

Ohhh I didn’t think of that. 🍓🤷🏼‍♀️

Drinks and bar snacks...just the ticket.

I’m a fan of ‘chuck everything in a pot’ dishes at this time of year. There something very soothing about it - comfort dishes.

Reminds me of my nan and mum, good hearty food. ❤️

I have warned MrN no more, only get what I ask for and not what I might want.

Reminds me of what my mum said during lockdown when my brother was doing her shopping. 'He gets things I don't want and doesn't get what I do want'. I mentioned that to a couple of people, and they both said 'Well, he's a man, isn't he.'

😂😂😁 that is so true, he also thinks shopping is just food shopping, not toiletries, cleaning products or anything else that will not go into his mouth.

The worst thing he never puts weight on. 🤷🏼‍♀️😁

Indeed.

I think we are all down in the doldrums, suffering Tier Blues.
