With sugar, butter and flour I fumble - it’s a great way of cleaning my nails Don’t grumble when finding specks in your crumble ... but I’ll know when I see your face pales! A pure tongue in cheek poem... but we have been given lots of cooking apples and I'm going to make apple crumble!! 10-23-17

Oh crumble is so easy to make just butter rubbed into flour and sugar, but I have seen a recipe that includes oats so I will try that next time:-) hugs Jan xx

You've been making me drool for weeks since you first told me about your apple crumble, but I think I'll pass on the next batch unless you wash those nasty hands. lol Oh Jan, your imagination does run the gambit of adventuresome topics!
