Welcome

It's more than half way through February as I sit writing this and looking out of the window the snowdrops and crocus are in full bloom with the daffodils not far behind. The temperature today is a balmy 13.9C – a warmer day than some in July – but not unique for this time of year. And so with the lengthening days and occasional warmer weather one's thoughts turn to the garden and the upcoming flower shows of the season.

One of the first that I very much enjoy visiting is the Edinburgh spring show of the Scottish Rock Garden Club held in Fairmilehead Parish Church hall. To see and smell these first little beauties of the season is such a delight. Another of the same ilk is the Haddington Garden Club's lovely spring show in the Corn Exchange in late March followed by the RCHS (Caley) Show in the Fletcher Building at the Botanics in Edinburgh. Do go along to one or all of them – you won't be disappointed!

It was very sad to learn of the demise of Ayr Flower Show due to council cutbacks and we need to be aware that all events like this are under great pressures to carry on both financially and physically. Our own Show at Musselburgh – now the biggest in East Lothian – relies heavily on the public turning out to support it both as visitors and exhibitors as well as helpers. All communities in Scotland are facing the pinch in public funding and in order to try to carry on we need as many people as possible to contribute to the effort it takes to produce.

So please support us and other local shows in the area and if you can lend a hand so much the better.

Look forward to seeing you on the day!

Lindsay Morrison

President

SCOTTISH MACAROON BARS (suggested recipe only)

4 oz potato (you need a dry potato)

16 oz powdered sugar (more or less as needed)

dark or milk chocolate for dipping

finely shredded coconut for coating

1. Boil the unpeeled potato until ready. 2. Drain, peel and mash the potato and allow to cool completely. 3. Begin adding some powdered sugar, about half a cup at a time. Don't fret

if the mixture becomes gooey, because it will, just keep adding the sugar and mixing well, and soon it will have a fondant texture.

4. Add enough sugar so that it comes together and is very stiff. 5. Prepare a baking sheet (which will fit into your freezer) with waxed paper. 6. At this point, you can roll the macaroon mixture into small balls and

flatten them, or for the traditional style, shape it into a rectangle on the sheet and then place in the freezer for about 4 hours or longer.

7. Prepare the coconut, by placing it on a baking sheet in a preheated oven for 5 minutes. Stir the coconut and continue to monitor closely as it will turn brown very quickly.

8. Remove from the oven when it is a nice brown color; cool and mix with an equal amount of untoasted coconut.

9. Place in a plate which will be a good size for dipping the macaroons. If you made a rectangle shape of macaroons, cut them into your preferred size and shape.

10. Keep in the freezer until ready to dip. When you are ready to finish the macarons, melt the chocolate. Dip each piece into the chocolate, and immediately coat with the combination of shredded coconuts.
