fruit cobbler: Victoria plums, nectarines and apples

Making a pudding for tonight's meal.

What I want to say has nothing to do with cooking: Ray just took in our weekly delivery from Sainsbury's and the delivery driver told him that the previous customer's order was 8 of the very large cardboard trays - filled with toilet rolls.

Now maybe I should be charitable and think that the said customer is running an institution of some sort.......

The supermarket apparently is taking on more drivers in anticipation of the onslaught.
Oh dear. Not a repeat of that old toilet roll nonsense! Lovely photo - your fruit looks gorgeous!

Love fruit cobbler. Why do some people want more than anyone else.
September 23rd, 2020  
Well that’s just plain greedy...I could be uncharitable here & say I hope they get the runs!!
Looks delicious Hazel.....a real treat having a pud like that to finish if with!

I would have thought that they would have loads left over from their last panic buying spree.

Nicely captured. And regarding the greedy, some of our stores still have the limit in place in order to deal with that sort of people :(

We were in Sainsburys at old gits allocated time early this morning doing our weekly shop and notice the toilet roll shelves depleted we could not believe its happening again:)

I think the limit will go back on here at some point - what a shame isn't it that it is needed.....

Looks wonderful Hazel will you have it with cream or custard. I received my Sainsbury delivery today and no toilet rolls needed this time. I have been stocking up on the 16 rolls Andrex packs while they have been on offer these last few weeks.

We had custard last night. Maybe Greek yogurt tonight............

Hope the projected onslaught is less than 'they' say.

In the news today: supermarkets are restricting the sale of certain items. What's with loo rolls and flour that folk suddenly need an excess of both..........
