    A tip regarding the blinds. We replaced all our curtains with blinds a while back now, and found that if you wind them onto the roller the other way round it moves the blind about an inch or so towards the window, which gives you just a little more room, especially useful in the corridor area!
    Loved the bit where the connector flew off and got lost! So like me!!😆
    Stay safe and stay well!👍

    Thank you for your homey weekly videos. John and I look forward to seeing what you are up to each week.
    During this lockdown, it was especially appreciated!
    Instant potato flakes and canned salmon ( bleack) sounds so awful, but I am glad it made a decent meal for you.
    I cook tons of amazing food from many different cultures for both us and another young family that is struggling. The young mom was a good friend to one of my daughter’s throughout school and was here a whole lot! Such a Delightful, creative child, with less than able parents. She now has 3 under three and an 8 year old, trying to be the most amazing mom ever! I am happy to cook them 5 to 7 meals each week.
    I also cook for a sister in an retirement center and often for one or two of my (3) children and their family’s.
    John and I (and Charlie our 14 y/o mini poodle) absolutely loved the video you recommended - windows? It was our church service for Easter!
    Thank you so much for being there for us. Please remember us if you decide to visit Seattle Washington, in the awful USA. We would love to put you up, feed you, be tour guides etc. We are so lucky to live in one of the most beautiful and unique places on earth.

    Brownie! Not a fan of fish....... My partner Tom and I, along with Alex and Shadow (the cats that rule the house) love you both! Glad you spared the egg for a sweet treat. We just spent 4 days isolated in the Maine woods (thanks to 18 inches of snow) with no electric or running water - thanks to a freakish April snow. Happy to start catching up again with the world!

    Hi ladies, thanks for first making me actually laugh out loud with tea, when the blind flopped round !! Second, hopefully to make you smile - we also have no eggs - which is ironic as we actually rescue hens! Sadly our ladies are all too old or too hot to lay! Be safe and be well xx

    Thanks for the update, I’m glad to see you’re both still safe and well. Well done for saving that egg, we’re also stretching everything out at the moment so I don’t have to visit the supermarket very often. Luckily we have plenty of eggs in our family because my dad has 40 hens but I appreciate that would be tricky on a NB! It’s about 30 years since I had smash but I remember with a bit of butter mashed in it was OK so good idea for buying that. Take care and stay safe.

    • @TheNarrowboatExperience
      @TheNarrowboatExperience  4 роки тому

      We are hoping there will be eggs next visit. None at the moment. However, we have been using chickpea flower as a substitute. It is very effective.

    I was cracking up when she fixed the blind. LOL! That was a good laugh. Oh, I just subscribed too. I found your channel from Cruising the Cut's video crossing the aqueduct. I'm happy to have discovered all these wonderful narrowboat videos. We have nothing like this here in Texas & I'd absolutely love living like this. If I can ever convince my wife to cross an ocean to visit the UK, we'll have to go on a grand adventure on one of these. I'm sure you get to see parts of the country that most people will never see.

    When I went winter camping with a dog team powdered ‘taters were used a bunch. Needed to eat half a stick of butter in the meal per person each night to stay warm especially if went to -40F/C. We also had chocolate covered doughnuts warmed under the little tin wood stove. Glad I have a big cellar with a bin of ‘taters left from the garden last summer.

I really appreciate what you guys are doing and hope that you are all well.

    I’m in Canada, I had to look up what “smash” was... we have instant potatoes here too but they tend to be more like flakes rather than powder... glad the fish cakes turned out half decent... I often make canned fish cakes as well, served with peas on the side usually. A quick lemony white sauce is very good on the top... butter, flour roux... bit of milk until thick and add zest and some juice of a lemon after its thickened...

    Hi girls; love your vlogs, keep up the good work. I make “fish cakes” out of anything, and they’re great. Mince up any leftover meat, add fine chopped vegetables (green or red pepper and green onion tops) and fry in butter just like the fish cakes. If you have eggs, fry one and serve on top. Great for breakfast or dinner. I’m going to try it with instant mashed potatoes.

  • @jamessprandel7020
    @jamessprandel7020 4 роки тому +1

    If you like spaghetti, consider stocking up on it. It is very shelf stable, a box of noodles doesn't take up much space, and you can be pretty creative on the sauces you put on it (tomato, Alfredo, chili, etc.). If you think boiling it is too water intensive, you can cook a bunch of it ahead of time (like before filling up on water) and keep leftovers in the fridge for several days (if you have room). By the way, I like your spice rack! It looks like you have a wide range of spices available.

    @teresaseina5627 4 роки тому

    To replace an egg, I used 1 tablespoon of chia seeds mixed with 3 tablespoons of water and let the mixture sit for 15 to 20 minutes or you can prepare it the night before. Mix the chia seeds and water together in a small bowl and let it sit for 10 - 15 minutes until the mixture becomes gel. Chia seeds are shelf stable and great for you. Great for baking .

    • @TheNarrowboatExperience
      @TheNarrowboatExperience  4 роки тому +1

      Thanks for the tip. We will look into getting some of those. I used chickpea flour instead of eggs when I made pancakes the other day and was surprised at how well they turned out.
