Hmmm....

Picked off the older and larger stems, cut off the poisonous leaves and discovered the remaining bits have to be peeled to get rid of the tougher threads, then selected some apples from the fruit bowl, stewed everything together with some cloves, cinnamon and honey, rolled out the short pastry made a few days ago (the only one I know how), and produced this for Sunday afternoon:













Watching the Rugby World Cup, so this is some non-alcoholic solace for South Africa getting hammered by Japan yesterday.

Transplanted the largest one into bigger tyre. It took quite a knock, but is now settling in.

Eventually South Africa won the third place playoff against Argentina, and New Zealand beat Australia in the final.
