Currently we have limited space and our plans have been significantly affected by the curtilage rules for listed buildings. So our plan to start accepting paying guests from Easter 2011 maybe affected. Please refer to the Visitors Page for full and current details.  Christmas Mess A simple addition to your Christmas menu. Similar to Eaton mess, but more appropriate for Christmas. This the Oswald House recipe for Christmas Pudding which has been passed down from my mother’s side of the family to me. It is no-where as dark as most Christmas Puddings, because it does not use Stout. I have never been a fan of black and/or bitter Christmas Puddings, so this I absolutely love. It has been some time since I posted anything on any of my Blogs. So here is a posting here and I have already posted a new article on my Automation Site. So if you would like to know what has been going on over the last few months here in Westray, then read on…. Here is a rather nice little recipe I picked up while in Inverness in the last week or so. Cullen Skink is a smoked fish and potato based soup that is traditional throughout Scotland. This is my version of the dish to server 4 and not specifically from Westray. A sweet curing for pork to give you a rather tasty ham. A rich and fruity ice cream suitable for most methods available to make ice cream. A good, coarse and typically English pork based pâté derived from a base recipe I found on the Internet and modified to suit my own tastes. We picked our new cat on Tuesday, with Lin going into Kirkwall on Tuesday to collect her. We nearly did not get here. The Cat Protection lady was seriously late. The car was already loaded onto the ferry and Lin waited patiently for Buttons to turn up and managed to get the paperwork sorted out before the ferry left to come back to Westray. A great little soft biscuit that is easy to make, especially helping children to make these. Obtained from my sister-in-law in Norway and loved by everyone. |
