    whaz the difference tween "afternoon tea" or "high tea"?  

    is it the same tea?  

    wanna learn how to make crumpets and fairy cakes smiley

     

    woohoo 3 lotto numbers, usually good for 20 bucks

    Honestly - not a great deal of difference at all nowadays - I suspect it's more linguistic differences than anything else. Although, High Tea was normally arranged by the Lord and/or Lady of the manor, and afternoon tea was more... relaxed.

    Interesting explanation here.   http://www.afternoontea.co.uk/information/what-is-high-tea/

    Not such interesting prices in the featured ads though.

    Another interesting thing is that here, in the Welsh Valleys, the locals will still often say they have dinner at 12:00-1:00pm, not lunch. and tea at 5;30 onwards,  Tea being a proper cooked dinner, so working class high tea.

    Massive house clearance continues... the main bedroom got blitzed briefly this afternoon so that we had space to do the spare bedroom, and now that one is being attacked at a fair old rate of knots.... piles of boxes everywhere for stuff to go on ebay and the like, and we've still got to move it all back in yet!

    Moving from an 8 room ( 3 bed, 2 bathroom,utility room, 2 living rooms and kitchen) house to a small 2 bed cottage helped us with a blitz a few years back.

    ...same for myself in my last move. Have some items in storage for when I get my own place again, but very pared down from what I had.

    ...and that was after a major purge a couple years ago.

    This is our little cottage, 2 beds upstairs, downstairs is all one room (open plan)  kitchen and bathroom built on the back as as single storey extension.

    Just think, when it was built a family with children would have lived there, without the extension, and the downstairs would have been 2 rooms, cooking in one over the range type fire.

    ...already 60º "in the hood" right now on the way to the mid 70s.  Will have to get out for a bit when it warms up more.  Not broke but have to watch the finances so probably only the coffee shop today.

    80s on tap for the next few days (near 90º on Monday). Must conserve (cheap) beer money for then.

My one need is a good porch I can sit on, that way I can buy my beer at a store instead of at a pub and still enjoy sitting outside when the weather is nice.

    We have a paved Patio at the back  and a garden area with lawn and flower beds (which we have added).  Small patch, but easy to look after.   Cottage itself was built some time in the mid to late 1830s.  Stone built 18" thick walls, and then rendered to help insulation.

    Back in my wild days living in Florida as  poor college student we used to make a "high tea" by tramping around in the cow pastures looking for psilosybin mushrooms growing out of dried cow patties (eewwww) and boiling them in water.  It made a very interesting evening.

    Yes,  It's amazing sometimes to think back, and then some people can't understand why History is so fascinating.   This village wasn't here before the 1830s. it was just open mountain land above the valleys. Only thing here was the Penywern Ponds, which the Iron Works used as a water supply.  And then came the infamous Merthyr Rising.  This was eventually put down by troops who had to come from Miles away, the other side of the Brecon Beacons area.  The Ironmaster then demanded that there should be troops in the area, and a Barracks was built to house them,  And as we all know once there is a Barracks, then people need to come and work at the Barracks to support and feed the troops, and they need to live somewhere so houses were built to house the civilian staff. Ours is one of those first houses.

    BEER bread laugh recipe  http://useandcaremanuals.com/pdf/BK2000BQrecipeBOOK.pdf

     

    Getting ready to do some baking, and wondering if your baking soda is still good? To find out, toss a spoonful of baking soda into a bowl and add a splash of vinegar. If the mixture fizzes heavily, the baking soda is still good. If it doesn't, use the rest of the box for cleaning, and buy another box for your baking.

     

    candida?  dont think they mean  Voltaire book. think it was Voltaire. was first time i heard of auto-da-fays and St Bartholomew day.

    I had a friend in the early 70s who lived in a house with his parents and brothers that was built before the Revolutionary War!  It was cool.  It was out in Rehoboth, MA.  Still there, but that family has moved out some years back.

    surprisehttp://www.livestrong.com/article/559453-whats-really-inside-that-cinnabon-classic-cinnamon-roll/

     

    WHEAT GLUTEN (plus Vital Wheat Gluten): As first pointed out in the Caltons' earlier investigation of the Egg McMuffin from McDonald's, wheat isn't what it used to be. Today's genetically modified grains will not only spark an addiction (you'll want to keep eating more grains and sugars), but they will also encourage you to eat an average of 400 extra calories a day. Anther not-so-lovely perk of including this ingredient in your diet: It may cause a leaky gut, which can lead to immune problems and possibly arthritis -- not to mention the risk of developing a roll of your own (aka "a muffin top") from eating this sweet roll.

    SUGAR: As noted earlier, a Cinnabon Classic Cinnamon Roll is a straight-up sugar factory. Inside, you'll find four different types of the insulin-spiking ingredients: brown sugar, powdered sugar, high fructose corn syrup (glucose-fructose) and molasses. The worst part is that these sugars will rob your body of crucial vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, chromium, magnesium, zinc and copper. To top it off, high fructose corn syrup infamously may not be triggering leptin, your “I'm full” hormone. In other words, you'll want to continue to stuff your face even if your stomach is completely full.

    ..wow that's really neat.  I'm one of those who loves history. 

    I often spend my a fair amount of time cruising historical sites on the net.  Always something interesting and unknown there to find.

    For example, following my interest in aviation history, I recently discovered a former US airline (Capital which used to fly out of  my hometown of Milwaukee) had tendered orders for fourteen British built DeHavilland Comet 4s in 1956. It would have made them one of the first to offer domestic pure-jet service in the US.

    Capital's mainstay in the 1950s was another product of British aviation, the Vickers Viscount turboprop and they had a unique relationship with British built aircraft manufacturers. One of the other aircraft types that caught their interest was the Bristol Britannia and when the model 301 prototype embarked on a sales tour to the US in 1956, it was actually painted in Capital livery.

    (A rare photo, as after it returned from the 1956 tour, it crashed in November of 1957 during a test flight and was destroyed, the probable cause being faulty wiring in the autopilot)

    Interesting for an airline that had it's home office in Washington DC.

    Sadly in the late 1950s, they found themselves in a state of financial difficulty (partly due to heavy handed CAB regulations that prevented them from expanding service along with a labour dispute) and were finally acquired by United Airlines in 1961.  Before then, they were the fifth largest airline in the US.

    whaz the difference tween "afternoon tea" or "high tea"?  

    is it the same tea?  

    wanna learn how to make crumpets and fairy cakes smiley

     

    woohoo 3 lotto numbers, usually good for 20 bucks

    Honestly - not a great deal of difference at all nowadays - I suspect it's more linguistic differences than anything else. Although, High Tea was normally arranged by the Lord and/or Lady of the manor, and afternoon tea was more... relaxed.

    Interesting explanation here.   http://www.afternoontea.co.uk/information/what-is-high-tea/

    Not such interesting prices in the featured ads though.

    Another interesting thing is that here, in the Welsh Valleys, the locals will still often say they have dinner at 12:00-1:00pm, not lunch. and tea at 5;30 onwards,  Tea being a proper cooked dinner, so working class high tea.

     

    Where I grew up (Kent) it was definitely breakfast - dinner - tea. The midday meal was called dinner, and the evening meal was tea. There was no "high" or "afternoon", it was just what it was. Dinner, at what I might now call lunch time, was reinforced by the dreaded institution known as "school dinners", paid for every week with "dinner money". Sunday dinner was always a roast - beef, lamb, pork or chicken, with all the trimmings. Tea varied. Most days it was something cooked, be it just beans on toast or cheese on toast, fish fingers etc. Followed generally by bread & jam, or cake. Mondays was usually leftovers from the Sunday roast - cold meat with boiled potatoes, and a bowl of crisps. And of course, a cup of tea. If we had people round, there might be ice cream or trifle too, and the "posh" French stick, with cheese & pickled onions instead of just regular sliced white.

    It was always referred to as "my tea" or "your tea" - as in, "I've gotta go, or I'll be late for my tea"

    Happy birthday for yesterday, Kulay! A lot of this thread seems to happen in the wee small hours, so I tend to miss it. :(

    First plane I ever flew on was a Comet 4. Dan Air, London Gatwick to Naples Capodichino. February 1977, one week after my 16th birthday. First foreign trip, first time away without supervision, first time up a volcano, first time with a . . . actually, there were a lot of firsts that month!

    First plane I ever flew on was a BAC 1-11  200 series,  the bus stop jet, which had thrust reversers.  We had expected to fly out on a turbo prop, but our plane broke down so we went on the jet instead.   First flight, very nervous passenger I was, and in order to slow down enough to get into Jersey airport they used the thrust reverse in the air,  It felt like the aircraft was stopping in mid air, very scary for a nervous passenger.  The pilot had warned the passengers, but it was still scary. We came back on the turbo prop though.

    Very often a plane can either go down or slow down, but not both at the same time. At least, not without throwing out the anchors. Fun that!  devil

    Yes.   That was way back in 1967, so the one eleven was fairly new aircraft then,
