Description: An ex-pat in Cyprus - enjoying the sunshine in winter, estivating in summer; everyday living, and some of the quirks of the country.
On Monday, I made some strawberry jam, although I had not been planning to do so.
Long and rambling version
Some of today's children, I'm told, have no idea that cakes or pastries can be made at home 'from scratch' (a phrase we learned when we lived in the United States for a couple of years). Some folk, and not just children apparently, think that tomato sauce for pasta, or various kinds of curry sauces come only from jars.
