The message
from "Ophelia" contains these words:

Cut beans and put them into just enough boiling water to cover them.
Bring back to the boil and seeth for two and a half minutes. Cool the
beans in the water and put beans into freezer bags. Add the water you
blanched them in, knot bags and freeze.



gosh it is many years since I heard the expression 'seeth'


*AND* the 'e' dropped off the end of 'seethe'.


Yes I did notice

You'd be surprised at
some of the words which I've kept well-oiled these last mumblety-mumble
years, and what what certain tools about the place are yet yclept innit.
