Nothing special. Was working a bit late at work with 'Lightning Tim' so we had shop bought chicken Kievs, some mash, carrots from the garden and sweetcorn.

I fought with my sister when we were teens, but both of us outgrew that.

She went to TCU, and I went to a really good state college. She set me up with her sorority sisters. All of them both pretty and smart. We had a bit of a snip last week, but no harm done. She knows I'd give her a kidney, if she needed one, and I know she would do the same for me.

You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family.

I'd happily rip his kidney out. And his wife's.

Joint effort tonight, but mostly Craig. I prepped side veges and veges for the pilaf. Craig did everything else. Hogfish fillets with crab Diablo stuffing, rice pilaf with onions, celery and mushrooms, and zucchini and carrots on the side. I made a piggy of of myself and ate my whole plate!

I've mentioned the dreaded Hamburger Helper on here before; tonight, I made a from-scratch version that's much, much better:

To be serious, I scroll through these glorious food "porn" pics and realize how reliant on carbs everyone is. Since I lost the 50 kg's aftermath of my cancer treatment I remained stable up to Covid. In March on the advice of my best friends daughter (genetics boffin) and My godson ( biology boffin) I have done a lot of time in self isolation.Hence I put weight on. The low carb diet works for me. The only craving I have are in my dreams. A bacon and egg butty with HP sauce. The bread must be toasted white processed crap. mmmmmmm !
Last nights grilled pork escalopes, grilled peppers in balsamic and Hvar evo, sliced tomato and avocado, mushrooms.

Maybe you can appease her with that other manufactured delicacy, Velveeta.

BTW, not to make you too jealous, but I've actually been to the SPAM Museum in Austin, MN.

Mate I am frightened to google Velveeta, It sounds like a female depilation product ?
SPAM Museum !!!!!!!!!!!! I feel like the holy grail has been found. Do they arrange pilgrimages to this mecca of meatiliciousness ?

Lovely - although I prefer untoasted white processed bread. Its the contrast between crispy bacon and soft bread.

Its the contrast between crispy bacon and soft bread.

I do understand the attraction of the textural difference when not using a runny fried. I find if the bread is not toasted my chest looks like an exploded Cadbury cream eggs.

Chicken Kolhapuri which is now my favourite Indian chicken curry having surpassed Bratfud Bangla.

The chicken was particularly tender, possibly because I mistook baking powder for bicarbonate of soda in the velvetting. Also, I reduced the cooking time by 5 minutes.

It was also relatively mild until coming across the virtually raw chopped green chillis, of which there were quite a number.

In a heart beat. Bravo.
