When we go to Yorkshire we always bring back a Yorkshire curd tart, they are delicious. I have found a recipe for the tart that sounds authentic so if you never get to Yorkshire you can still try this delicacy. Making the curd doesn't sound too difficult I guess it's a bit like cottage cheese. The photograph is a bakers shop in Bridlington.

 
INGREDIENTS  
250 g (8 oz) curds*
2 eggs; beaten
125g (4 oz) caster sugar
60 g (2 oz) currants
Small knob of butter; melted
A pinch of grated nutmeg
250 g (8 oz) short crust pastry
 

As well as the usual Saturday market in St Albans there was the added bonus of an Italian market. Here are photos of some of the produce they were purveying, a little taste of Italy.

This afternoon Susie, Kim and I went to visit Leanne in Hospital, the Royal National Orthopaedic in Stanmore middlesex.  Leanne had a knee operation, wear and tear, too much karate! This will slow her down a bit, but that lovely hospital food will keep her strength up!!!

Today I went to Daryls for lunch she did a very good Delia impression making lovely homemade soup, flapjack and banana bread, I do appreciate friends, thanks Daryl.
