I emailed Chefs today,to ask the steeping time they recommend on Welsh custard.Two weeks at least.
Nice! I would have wondered ..although I think most custards need longer than others.
I was talking to my sister about todays kids, yesterday, and what little sh1ts they are.
We both agreed the cure would be if they all had a father like we did.
A lot of it is lazy parenting Bob and trouble is,that means each generation gets that bit worse.
I couldn't say my parents were exactly strict, but they did make it clear about what was and wasn't acceptable. If we went anywhere ...shops, peoples houses - sat quietly and was polite. Wouldn't dream of touching anything or interrupting an adult conversation. Somehow, they had a way of instilling rights and wrongs without excess pressure or unkindness. In fact, I still miss the 'umbrella' of protective care they gave.
We tried to be the same with our two, and for a large part of their lives, had the influence of my parents too - they turned out rather well
Somehow, kids now are allowed to grow up far too quickly and early without having been taught any social skills or proper behaviour.
For me, there are two things that seem to be missing from a lot of kids upbringing: respect and value. If instilled from an early age, those two attributes go a long way to making decent people.
Good god Terry what you feeding your dog.Shes grown
She's looking lovely isn't she!
Blame it on the smart phones George
Sent from my whoops
Our younger son has two young boys, and they're always subjected to peer pressure, and subsequently come home with demands for things like phones, suffer ridicule when they don't get to play 18+ video games, and become sulky and morose when they can't have their own way. The eldest is only 9.
We think they should have had firmer discipline from an early age though, with threats to remove privileges carried out. We've had things like them running amok through the house and leaping onto furniture, opening cupboard doors to help themselves to biscuits etc., repeatedly interrupting conversations with ever louder voices demanding attention - and getting it!
Latest thing was the eldest hoisting himself up onto a work surface and cracking the glass hob with his weight ..despite being told twice not to.
The other one has more than once been told not to climb up the drawer fronts by using the long handles as ladders!
I find it too stressful - not much of a pleasure at all. To loud, too unpredictable.
Won't be long before the parents are trying to monitor them using computers and smart phones ...I dread to think.
