I had nasty accident today but I'm ok.
I went horse riding and let's just say it didn't end up quite as planned.

I got on the horse ok and started out slowly but he started to speed up and we were going faster than I was comfortable with until we were going as fast as the horse could go!
Have to admit I was terrified!!
Then the worst thing ever happened - I fell off and caught my foot in the stirrup and the horse was dragging me around in a circle.
It wouldn't stop, it just kept going around and around.

Thank God the store manager at Tesco's came out and unplugged the carousel.
How many of you actually read that all the way through?
If you did, copy and paste and give someone else a good laugh.
Thanks Jimmy da Blacksmith ;)

Chillies n Garlic The English names chile or chilli are borrowed from Náhuatl (native Mexican), where the plant’s name chilli allegedly derived from a root meaning red.

It is not related to the country name Chile, which is supposed to derived from the Quechua word meaning end, because today’s Chile marks the southern end of the Inca Empire.

Another theory links the toponym to an Araucanian term depth referring to the coastal lowlands as seen from the Andes.

There is con­siderable zeal in the discussion whether the spice should be called
Chile
Chili
or chilli in English.
The form chilli is probably closest to the Náhuatl original, and it is the preferred form among historically minded USians and in Australia.

The word chili has come to mean almost exclusively the Tex-Mex-food chili con carne in the USA, but is used for the spice in British English.

The variant chilly (also the adverb of chill) has become obsolete; it bears connotations to the British Colonial Era and sometimes appears in brand names of products that go back to the first half of the 20.th century.
Lastly, chile is the name of the spice in contemporary Mexican Spanish, and it is also quite popular in the USA.

To make things worse, chiles are often referred to as peppers in English, which is of course a never-ending source of culinarily fatal misunderstandings.

Clafoutis or Flaugnarde.

Clafoutis or Flaugnarde. 19th Century.The clafoutis comes from the Limousin region of France, and while black cherries are traditional, there are numerous variations using other fruits, including red cherries, plums, prunes, apples, pears, cranberries or blackberries.

When other kinds of fruit are used instead of cherries, the dish is properly called a flaugnarde.

A traditional Limousin clafoutis contains pits of the cherries.
The pits contain amygdalin, the active chemical in almond extract, so during baking a small amount of amygdalin from the pits is released into the clafoutis, adding a complementary note to its flavor.

Recipe

60g cup all-purpose flour
30g Sugar
Salt
3 large eggs
Vanilla pod (or extract)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
4 fl oz milk
1 1/2 pints Black Cherries

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°.
Butter a 9-inch gratin dish.
In a bowl, whisk the flour, sugar and a pinch of salt.
Whisk in the eggs, vanilla, butter and lemon zest until smooth.
Add the milk and whisk until light and very smooth,
Pour the batter into the gratin dish and top with the cherries.
Bake for about 30 minutes, until the clafoutis is set and golden.

Serve warm #Clafoutis #Recipe
