Hope you are having a good week - now the most depressing day is out of the
way - what will the media come up with next!!

Just to avoid any confusion I would also like to confirm that the Ryeland

mother!

Barbecued Beef Brisket 

Ingredients:
3 ½ lb beef brisket.
5 carrots, peeled and cut into one-inch chunks.
5 medium red potatoes, unpeeled, quartered.
3 medium onions, sliced.
1 cup of ketchup.
1 cup of water.
2 tablespoons of onion, minced.
2 tablespoons of cider vinegar.
1 tablespoon of horseradish.
1 tablespoon of mustard.
Salt and pepper.

Preparation Instructions:
Mix together the ketchup, water, minced onion, cider vinegar, horseradish,
mustard and pepper.

Place the brisket in a shallow glass baking dish and pour the marinade
over. Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Scatter the sliced onions on top of meat.

Cover and bake for 3 hours.

Add the carrots and red potatoes. Cover and keep baking until the beef and
the vegetables are tender (60 - 75 minutes).

Add salt to taste.

Cut the beef meat into slices and serve, using the juices as sauce - sounds
simple enough!!



NEW ARRIVALS TO ELLENDEN

We were approached Tuesday by a chap from the village of Harvington who was
in desperate need of a home for two hens and a magnificent looking
cockeral.  When David agreed, he asked if we could go and collect
immediately, so they arrived on the back of the tractor and trailer that
afternoon, and are now based at the back of the shop if you wish to visit!

They are currently nameless, so if any children or adults  would like to
enter the naming competition we will put a box by the till- the winning
names will then adopt the hens and the cockeral for a year.  We are hoping
to put some of the eggs in the incubator with the hope we will have some
Easter chicks - watch this space!

Thankyou to all who have sent emails this week - can be very motivating on
a dreary afternoon in January!


Kind regards

Sara
