..and I am having a sugar rush!

It's great! I am getting so many jobs done!

It's definitely the way forward. ??? sunshine

How did I guess this was you jings? Nip round and clean my windows while your in the mood!smile

Alima Fri 04-Mar-16 12:31:58

That's all we need, Jings on speed!

Just don't have coffee as well, jings you'll be uncontrollable grin

Lucky there's none in the house (deliberately as I love it so much!) or I'd be eating some by now! I 'kindly' finished jars ( and replaced them!) when staying at my daughter's. I like the thick cut Oxford, and Roses Lime best but any is welcome! There was also an almost empty, before I got to it, jar of Waitrose 'Warming Ginger Conserve' which hit the spot. Luckily I couldn't open the apple jelly a friend brought her from France, I don't think you can get it here.
That Paddington Bear knew what he was doing!
I think I'd better go and get the Slimming World leek and potato soup I made yesterday, and push the Nutella and honey to the back of the shelf ...

Alima Fri 04-Mar-16 12:47:00

No Elrel, once you get the sugar rush from the Nutella and honey you will whizz around and use far more calories that way. That is the answer!

Ah, thank you Alima! I had a Nutella moment on Pancake Day. I thought a light spread would be nice but the jar was in a cold cupboard. Wanting to eat the pancakes while still warm I hacked out chunks and rolled the pancakes around them. Mmmmm.

Nutella on anything is really good ?. I also like marmalade with ginger in it. Unfortunately (or fortunately) I can't taste anything at the moment, so its all rather wasted on me ?

I had a thick slab of toasted home-made bread with marmalade for lunch too, jings. Unlike you I've run out of housework energy though after a really good clean of the bathroom this morning.

BTW I read an article the other day that said kids don't have sugar rushes. If that's true I expect it's true for adults too.

Anya Fri 04-Mar-16 13:53:28

Toasted and home-made !!! Did you make the marmalade too bags?

Yes, I read that article and thought 'they ought to see GS1' - mind you I also read an article by the Flat Earth Society last week hmm

Mmm.....marmalade sandwiches, yum.

nanaK54 Fri 04-Mar-16 16:00:06

Marmalade - oh yum - shame I haven't got any, I might well have joined in

hildajenniJ Fri 04-Mar-16 16:12:38

Don't much care for marmalade, but I've just eaten two tubes of Parma violets! A large bag appeared on my kitchen table, and as nobody else likes them I thought I'd better have some.grin

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 04-Mar-16 16:22:01

I have now moved on to apricot jam. hmm

Ana Fri 04-Mar-16 16:23:37

Inspired by this thread, I bought some Rose's Lime Marmalade (had forgotten all about it!) and hae just had some on toast...lovely smile

Tizliz Fri 04-Mar-16 16:49:03

Rose's Lime Marmalade, haven't had that for years - probably since I left home at 17! Want some now, will have to look out for it. OH likes thick cut Oxford which I hate. We have some American marmalade a customer sent but it is very sweet.

I can't believe that children don't have a sugar rush. Give them a can of pop and they are off. If I had all three grandsons at the same time it was banned.

jings the moment I saw the thread title I knew it was you!grin

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 04-Mar-16 19:27:50

Ok!!! hmm grin

Am I the only one who likes her food? grin

jinglbellsfrocks Fri 04-Mar-16 19:31:07

I read somewhere that this is one of the best marmalades you can get. reviews sound good

(Get mine from church sales)

Jalima Fri 04-Mar-16 19:57:49

I just made a Victoria Sponge, only had lemon curd to put in it not raspberry jam. It was one of jingls earlier posts that started me thinking about it grin

We've only had one piece each so far.

I rarely eat marmalade but DH likes Lidls (thank goodness).

Stansgran Fri 04-Mar-16 20:54:38

I've just bought some home made jam from the green grocer's shop in Lanchester. It is delicious.ill send some to you Jalima but it will have to be virtual jam.

Elrel Fri 04-Mar-16 23:21:56

Ana, Tizliz - I'm not on commission for Roses Lime marmalade but glad to be reminding people how good it tastes. Enjoy!

Elrel Fri 04-Mar-16 23:23:19

Jings - thanks, I'll try that reduced sugar one!

Willow500 Sat 05-Mar-16 06:28:08

Mmm thick toast and lime and lemon marmalade or lemon cheese - sadly not eaten bread for 3 weeks now and really miss my toast sad
