What did you cook or eat today (August 2023)

[JAS_OH1]

Well I'm feeling low energy so we decided on BLTs instead. Grouper tomorrow night.

The barometric pressure changes from the weather has me fighting a migraine today.

MrsT has chicken cordon-bleu croissant (wich?), with macaroni-and-cheese:

My mind boggles with those combinations. None of those items belong together! What is the red and green item at the back of the photo?

Have I ever, in 57 years, seen anyone ever use one? Nope.

I use them at rabbit island in Nelson and Spencer park here in chch.

She looks rather tanned.

🎶 “She’s brown as a berry from ridin’ the prairie…” 🎶

I'm significantly pale due to being housebound so long plus rain and grey skies latterly.

If Jane Austen has taught us nothing else, she has let us know that proper English girls of good standing should have creamy skin, so milk-white the blue veins show beneath, so I must infer that you are the properest of proper English girls! 👗

Very beautifully colorful! What dressing and what are the little seeds?

Thanks!

Dressing is kefir yoghurt (its like a plain yoghurt but tastes more fermented), balsamic vinegar and Dijon mustard - very low fat dressing. The seeds are poppy seeds.

The only blue veins I've got are on my legs and they ain't pretty! Oh, and the backs of my hands.

 

[rascal]

No blue veins here. I hear they are painful to remove??

Bhajees precooked. No silver beet in garden. Nuts

I remember being a boy and watching all those Hammer and AIP horror movies, all the damsels in distress had marble-white heaving bosoms, veins running across their skin like a map of the Underground.

Affected me for life, I think.

Date and tamarind chutney. 1 each end of the table
