I used to give points in the Cold Dark Room for mentions of cheese, answers to quiz questions, nice posts etc.
There would be a monthly and yearly winner.
But it takes too much time, so just fun now.

I now own both.
Apparently the jade will climb.
I'm going to try to get it to climb my trellis on the enclosure.
There's a very nice Date & Apple Chutney recipe we make. The recipe came from my aunt decades ago and is really easy. Daughter made a batch recently. It goes extremely well with cheese
1.5 lb Cooking Apples chopped
1lb onions chopped
1lb dates stoned and chopped (dry, old ones are better)
15 fluid oz vinegar
0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 lb sugar
You don't need to be terribly exact on the quantities of apple, onion and dates. "Close enough" will do.
The mix scales down nicely if you only want a couple of jars.
Boil vinegar, sugar and apples until pulpy then remove from heat.
Immediately stir in onions and dates and stir thoroughly.
When cool add spices and salt and stir thoroughly.
Leave to stand for at least 48 hours until thickened.
Put into jars (this quantity fills approximately 5 x 1lb jars)
You can eat immediately. The chutney goes darker with age.

The ios app, the android app or the browser version of TFO?
Hi Adam,
to quote a post of someone must be equal for all in the forum. When you want to quote me, how get you the green bar and "Bee said" with the arrow up at the beginning of my text you want to quote ?
