Thursday #404?

5 bags of leaves - okay, one is mostly sticks - are out to the curb, so now I can finish making the Dutch Apple cake. Thanks for the peeling help, Richard! And as calories in Thursdays do not count, I will make the custard sauce that traditionally goes on top, if anyone wants it.

Sure - have some! I cut you a big chunk, you can add your own custard sauce, I put it in a little pitcher, so pour away, while it's warm!

Work kept me away from Thursdays, I sure hope I haven't missed out on the apple cake. Do you make the custard sauce from scratch Karen, or is it the packaged kind from England. Either way, I love custard on just about anything.

Sooo, Saturday morning and I would love a strong coffee Richard and a piece of cake if there is any left.

Custard sauce from a package? Never heard of such a thing! And yes, there's still some apple cake - let me warm the sauce a bit, and I'll cut you a piece.

I am taking a mental health day today...

So, I can spend some time with the patrons today!

I am taking orders and thanks to all that have been patient with me!

Excellent - I'll have a nice cup of tea, and will pass you some of the Dutch Apple Cake if you'd like ... how goes the battle? Want custard sauce on yours?

Sorry, it has taken me a day or two to get back to this..........but the custard that I mentioned comes in envelopes and you add sugar and milk to cook it.

I first had it at a wonderful British Pub in Santa Monica, CA called Ye Olde
King's Head. They have a hot apple pie with this wonderful custard sauce over top.

I asked - and it is called Bird's Dessert Mix (for custard style pudding) and it comes from England. I bought it at the grocery store - but it was quite a while ago. I think I should google this and see if they still make it.

They sure do make it - expensive though..........the box of six packets that I have cost $1.59 - but it is a few years old - laying in my cupboard.
