Double Cream.

riverwalk my latest issue of The Garden (RHS magazine) came wrapped up not in plastic as usual, but in an envelope which they claimed was made of potato starch & therefore compostable.
I’ve put it to the test
I doubt it would be strong enough for bin liners but I’m a glass half full person and tend to the view that technology might just rescue us from the effects of global warming.

Yes Jane there are claims about certain bags being biodegradable but from what I know they're not truly biodegradable just break up into tiny pieces, but they're still there!

If someone has a better solution do please let me know!

You're quite the one for saving the planet. What a hypocrite

Gosh!
Where did that come from?
I don’t use nespresso things but I understood that the pods are in fact recyclable.

As for Brabantia bin bags, the point about them is that because they are thicker and stronger, they never split, so you don’t get the contents of the bin bag leaking into your bin.
This means that the actual bin needs less cleaning = less use of cleaning sprays.

Is it possible to buy bin bags that biodegrade when they go to landfill? I’ve never seen any.

What I have found is that compost caddy liners which claim to be biodegradable don’t actually biodegrade in the compost bin and appear apparently unchanged at the bottom of the bin, so I have given up using them.

I have to watch cholesterol and sugar so cream is an occasional treat with dessert. I so look forward to having it on my porridge next morning.

What a hypocrite

GabriellaG54 I think you're mixing me up with someone else.

You can't get proper double cream here down under. Just "thickened" cream. Not the same! I was more upset though, when I found Bramley apples don't exist here! People use Granny Smiths for any cooked apple recipe. Most upsetting.
So my Sunday special of a family apple crumble with double cream (our treat of the week back in the UK) has bitten the dust.
And no more "proper" applesauce with pork!
Sorry for hijacking cream thread with my cooking apple woes ?

Un-recyclable Nespresso pods, un-recyclable bin bags. Pfft.
What a hypocrite.

I love cream. In coffee☕ in my once a week cake treat ? on porridge ? and hot chocolate ?? and indeed, in some soups ??...just a swirl ?

had a mooch around, and bought Brabantia bin bags
Brabantia bin bags are so worth it, aren’t they?
Like double cream

I think I'll put a couple of drops of vanilla into this cream I've in the fridge.
From now on I'll whip smaller amounts at one time.
Or eat more of it

No offers at Peter Jones - obviously I don't look in need of a cake!

Dumped my used Nespresso pods, had a mooch around, and bought Brabantia bin bags ..... I used to lead quite an exciting life, don't know what happened!

I will have to buy extra thick double cream in future, as I like to spoon out cream rather than pour.
I had some (lots) of cream on porridge the other day, it was
Super delicious!

I have a JL card, love the coffee and cake!

Oh double cream on meringue shells!

Ooooh I got some double cream yesterday to have ( as a dip ) with the enormous strawberries, only 6 in the punnet !

I'm just off to Peter Jones - will report back if I get any inappropriate offers!

My stern face is well-practised riverwalk

I hope you put on a stern dentist face Jane when turning down the offer.

In August I took DGD(9) to Peter Jones for school shoes and she was given a voucher for a free ice cream! Nothing wrong with an ice cream as such, just seems an odd thing to give in the childrens' shoe department.

Whipped double cream is halfway to butter. That's how my aunt used to make butter. then the buttermilk separates out.

Riverwalk dessert is the treat of the day, along with the wine of course.
I don’t have snacks and I haven’t eaten since we finished the Christmas cake several weeks ago.
Yesterday I was in John Lewis and the ‘partner’ urged me to get a JL card on the grounds I’d be eligible for a free cake once a month.
It occurred to me that that's almost as bad as dishing out free cigarettes and in years to come might well be regarded in that way.

Cream!!! I remember cream!!!

I had a creme brulee about four weeks ago.

Mind you, I don't look like someone who foregoes puds! Something not quite right here.

Dessert every day!
Yes, we know how to live in Northumberland Riverwalk

Dessert every day!
