Palmers Green Station To Get A Double Upgrade
After visiting Alexandra Palace station and the Yard Cafe, I took a Hertford North train through Bowes Park and on to Palmers Green station.
The station needs refurbishment and it is getting step-free access and a branch of the Yard Cafe.
The Yard Cafe At Alexandra Palace Station
My other reason to go to Alexandra Palace station was to look at the Yard Cafe inside the station.
It was certainly worth a visit and I agree with most of what has been said about the place in Trip Advisor.
Every cafe should have at least two different gluten-free dishes, as this one does; lasagne and cottage pie. I shall be going back to have some lunch.
If Modern Railways had an award for best small cafe in a station, this would be a contender.
What Can I Do With This Cream Cheese?
Every time, I cook my favourite salmon, I use a small amount of cream cheese.
What Can I Do With This Cream Cheese?
But then I end up with a load of cream cheese, that by the time I need it again, has grown a thick fur of mould.
Any ideas, please?
The best so far is to use a cheese like Roquefort, from which I can reserve a small portion, when I have it on toast for a lunchtime snack. But I rarely remember to buy it!
I hate waste! How much food do people living alone, throw in the bin, because they don’t have enough mouths to eat it all?
Virgin’s Better Offering On The Way From Manchester
In the seven hours I spent in the Manchester area, things improved.
All allergies were explained as they should be.
I also got two cups of tea and a Pepsi from the very good steward.
The ticket collector said he’d come back to collect my First Class Supplement. But he didn’t!
So I got it all for the price of a Standard Class Ticket.
Compare this with the outrun.
Virgin’s Poor Offering On The Way To Manchester
I travelled First Class up to Manchester and this was my snack offering.
Virgin’s Poor Offering On The Way To Manchester
It was obviously not gluten-free and there was no allergy information on the packet, as there should be now.
Compare this with the return.
Nigella Seeds In Waitrose
I took this picture in the spice section of my local Waitrose.

Are these the reason, that the celebrity cookery writer and television presenter has grown some good-sized melons?
Serial Cooking – Ham, Potato And Fenland Celery Gratin
This is another Lindsey Bareham recipe from The Times
It was different and I quite liked it. It was also rather nice warmed up in the microwave the following day!
London’s Best Restaurants For Allergy Sufferers And Gluten-Free
I’m just putting a link to the list of 10 in last night’s Standard.
They missed out my two favourites; Vozar’s in Brixton and Arbutus in Soho.
But that makes a dozen.
Cake Anyone!
I’m not a cake connoisseur by any means, but I just had to put a link to Borough 22, even though I haven’t seen them for real, had a bite, or just a sniff.
As Marie Antoinette said “Let them eat cake! Even coeliacs and others with allergies!”
Premier Foods
Because of the reports like this one on the BBC, I have just crossed Premier Foods off my list of preferred suppliers for my kitchen.
I didn’t like Marmite anyway!
