Morning
Nicos I've only dried apples using my dehydrator they take around 7 to 8 hours.
This site says between 8 to 18 hours for plums, there's a big difference between the two times but dehydrator instructions are as vague.

Of to fill the slow cooker for this evening meal.
Enjoy your dayLocation....East Midlands.

Good morning all,
It feels quite cool but its dry and the tempo is 14 degs,
Off to church shortly and then g son is coming for lunch.
No plans for the dsy other than to enjoy it.
Have a good day all.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.
You will find yourself a partner,
In the glory of the garden.

Afternoon all.
Got no get up and go today after last night. Live band in the end, not tapas,which are next week apparently. I've got no idea what's going on, just do what I'm told. Got home at just after 4.00 am. Been dragging myself through the day ever since. The band were pretty good and I didn't drink any alcohol (driving home afterwards), so must just be the late night. No idea how I'll manage four consecutive ones...
Anyway, my main achievement of the day is to bake up a bag of 'protein bread' from Lidl, bought by Mr Snoop. The oddest bread I've ever made. The instructions weren't very clear. I presume it's intended for people who go to the gym rather than people that bake. Anyway, I poured the dough into loaf tins and it did rise. It's now in the oven. At a guess, it'll come out like pumpernickel bread as it's a 1000 g bag (of which only 25% is wheat flour) to 920 g of water. The instructions include the comment: may weigh less after baking due to drying.
Not making any Danish pastries. Way beyond my capabilities today.
Have a great rest of the day, everyone.
P.S. I'm a sherbet pip kind of gal. You could barely get 6d's worth in the bag, there were so many of them. And after a bit, they made your tongue sting, so you couldn't eat them and that made them last even longer. Never much of a fan of sherbet lemons, though, or sherbet fountains.

Morning all.
Very quiet here too this morning. Mr GF is having a lie in 😴and I'm being very thoughtful and quiet🤫🤐😇so far.
I am however going to make some pastry in the food processor shortly. Should I close the kitchen and bedroom doors?😇 or not👹?
We've not actually got blue sky here but it is sort of whiteish and it isn't raining!

Good morning all.
We were having a little bit of a lie in as it's a bank holiday here.
No need for the breakfast tray Nicos but thanks for the offer.
We plan to go out later, destination yet to be decided.
Enjoy your holiday Rary, you deserve a rest.
Have a good day all.
And when your back stops aching,
And your hands begin to harden.

Morning all.
Didn't set the alarm today, so a very late start. Not helped by me lying in bed thinking about chocolate eclairs and how to make them... I'm pretty sure I'm putting on weight just with the idea of these things, no need to actually eat them.
Anyway, Mr Snoop likes the weird high-protein bread and it is actually quite tasty, though most definitely not bread. I don't consider pumpernickel bread bread either, mind. A small piece is more than plenty.
On the cards for today, a bit of paid work followed by a tidy of the kitchen. Haven't done a proper tidy for a while and it really shows. Just as well we never get unannounced visitors. Covid also means that people are used to sitting outdoors.
Maybe Rary took some of the smiles with him, Bren In Pots. Loads to go round, though. i spotted a few trying to keep up with some bee eaters this morning but not succeeding. Good fun, though, all that aerobatics.
Have a great day, everyone.
