It's now 3rd January and we'll still be trying to eat up the leftovers from 31st.
Yesterday I had some green salad (leftover), cherry tomatoes (leftover), blue cheese and goat cheese (leftover) and some potato salad (new), followed by a large slice of chocolate cake (leftover).
Today, my wife's friends are coming over to play Canasta, so they'll get lasagna with crepes (leftover) and apple/olive oil cake (leftover).
I might just consider making something new tomorrow :laugh: :laugh:

Making chicken soup for Mr SSOAP as poorly food for poorly people dictates 😂
As per usual struggled to get fresh tarragon, none in Sainsburys or Waitrose but Morrisons had one pack left! 👏
Think I’m going to have to consider growing it 🤷‍♀️

I grew some a few years ago. It tends to shed a bit. Hard to keep alive here as an indoor plant because we don't get much sunlight in northern Ohio.

Probably better off just drying it. My DH doesn't love it so I don't use it as I often as I'd like anyway.

Keep in mind it needs 6+ hours of sunlight a day, which might be difficult to achieve indoors anywhere.

I don’t like it much when it’s dried, it alters it too much for my enjoyment.
Apparently it freezes well 👍

Hope the pickled mushrooms are going to make it into the current recipe challenge (and the pickled raspberries you mentioned elsewhere).

I'm not a huge fan of pickled anything tbh. The acidity is too much of an issue with my geographic tongue, so I've always shied away from anything with vinegar in or on it (there is a long list of strongly alkaline and strongly acidic foods I struggle to eat because of it). When I was younger even yoghurt or strong cheese could trigger my tongue and it can be that bad that I've been hospitalised (it was a heatwave at the time) that I can't eat for days on end and the time that hospitalised me was so severe I wasn't able to drink plain water either. Luckily I've found ways of managing it better now after it was investigated by Guy's Dental Hospital. Whilst there was (it may have changed) no treatment it responded to it does respond to long term higher than average zinc levels in the diet. It has to be oral zinc though, not a tablet.

That's awful. I don't like pickled anything on it's own, though I have no health-related reasons. I like some foods with pickles blended in (tartar sauce, potato salad, that kind of thing) and I love capers (in a sauce or with salmon and cream cheese on a bagel), but that's really about it.

I quite agree. How sad you can't enjoy pickles, SatNavSaysStraightOn
I, on the other hand, absolutely adore them. I can eat them straight from the jar.
No pickles today, however; only leftovers from 31st!
