Fresh or coulis. Before you ask, blackberries fresh or baked. Blueberries baked only, as in muffins.

Ok, I have raspberry coulis here, I made it. You would like it I think. I love blueberries btw, my wife planted a bush but we never had fruit this year. We had blackberries growing up.

It's the thought that counts though. No, they don't listen or at least retain. Craig and I have been together over 30 years. He's NEVER seen me eat strawberries frozen or macerated for more than 2-3 hours because I can't stand mushy strawberries. Yet, every single time strawberry season rolls around once a year, we have to go through only make enough for tonight because I don't like them leftover.

Ahem, I knew all of my (ex) wife's favorite foods, candies, flowers and the like. :smug:

Well, in his defense, before the accident and stroke, he used to surprise me from time to time with handmade chocolates, real truffles, and other delicacies from time to time. It just seems to be the strawberries in particular, probably because he doesn't mind mushy ones.

Not picking on Craig. Just dispelling a male stereotype. Kind of like the female stereotype that women can't drive. Oh... wait, my ex-wife wrecked TWO of our cars at one time without leaving our driveway. :facepalm:

We played at the "new" snooker place today for the first time (it re-opened on Monday).

Very upmarket and not excessively expensive. All new (or at least expertly recovered) tables and a very pleasant atmosphere.

My mate butch is picking me up tomorrow and we're driving hour and a half to methven where he was born. He wants to visit his mums grave and asked me for company, plus we always have a laugh along the way. Wife picked flowers from our garden for the grave.
We will have lunch at the Topp Twins restaurant, they are sisters who are both gay with partners and are famous here in nz. Butcher likes to call me his son to people,lol.

National elections today.. I really hope this is the end of 12 years of Mark Rutte (our president). It's time for a new breeze.

And... another 4 years of Rutte and a huge conservative majority win .. Rutte is breaking records being prime minister for 12 years already and getting another 4 to add to it. 16 years of the same president (was) unheard of before him.

The runner up is a woman called Sigrid Kaag this time, from the party called D66. They are conservatives, but less so than the leading party (VVD, led by Rutte).

The COVID passport is definitely coming, this was Kaag's idea.
