Notes About The Poem

Please Don'T Grumble About My Apple Crumble

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!!

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!
