...but as with all local things there are a million ways of achieving the same thing. The only thing I'd add to that is that after you put the beer in, bring it to a good boil to let the alcohol boil off and if you re oven is not the best, check that it is hot enough so that it is actually cooking (albeit very slowly). Some people say keep it on the stove on a very low heat which I find works better. My oven is rubbish though.
DG also makes a good stoverij (he claims

I was there too, it was grim. But still one of the best days ever
I remember the collective groan that we up and down the coach was we hit the sheets of rain on our way to Oudenaarde from Ghent. Was properly grim and was block headwind on the run in to the finish from the Paterberg.
The next day I was sunbathing on the finish straight in shorts and t-shirt!!!!

That's how it should be though! Feel what it's like to be in the breakaway with empty legs and the wolves chasing you!
This is how nice it was on the Eikenberg - https://vimeo.com/124243689

There's a line to be drawn, and you've done that alright

Quite, when I brought it, the bloke tried to palm me off with the all black one. But I was wise to his game, and had done the research......

Westra e/w? He looked strong first stage of DePanne[Castle Donington Ladies FC - going up in '22]0

I like it, but I can't get a decent bet on with Paddy Power these days (bet limits). I need a new bookieDeVlaeminck wrote:Westra e/w? He looked strong first stage of DePanne
Edit: I just went on to Paddy Power to prove my point and placed a bet on Westra at £5 each way at 66/1. I expected it to tell me I could only bet 0.78p as it did for me recently on Gaviria at G-W.
But no, it didn't. It accepted. Go Lieuwe!Twitter: @RichN950 -
