Filthy dinner tonight!
Gourmet burger kit from a local hotel.
 
Inspired by The Late Night Gourmet burritos, did my take. Selfmade Barley&chia Surimi, lamb lettuce,mayo wraps. Deeelicious👍👍👍

The second and third were enhanced with peanut butter and my homemade pickled onion , ah. Splendid. The sourness contrasted the sweetness of surimi very nicely.
The barley flour has such a divine caramely smell.💞

Am not good at wraping the one end the proper way, but was too hungry to fuss too much.
Kid liked it too.

I'm hoping you said, "IDGARA" what you (whoever said that) thinks of me." I hope that it wasn't someone in our forum? If so, hoping they are no longer with us and hopefully that door hit them pretty hard on the a$$ on the way out.

Which is the attitude I shall take on that if someone were to say it. And since I am agnostic (but not an atheist), definitely count me out on WICCA and Satanism.

I wonder what happens when she sweeps her porch with a broom? GASP!

No, it was a former neighbor from a few houses down the street and it was 8 or 9 years ago before we downsized. I was President of our homeowner's association and she came to the house because she had a question about something. We were standing outside talking and I guess she noticed my huge rosemary plant, plus all the other herbs and plants, and asked me out of the blue if I practiced witchcraft. I kind of stammered a bit because that's just not something you expect and finally told her no, that I cook a lot and prefer to have my own herbs and that we liked having fresh lettuce and veges fresh from the garden. She said something along the lines of okay, that's nice, but then apparently she was going around telling people that I was practicing witchcraft since it eventually got back to me. She was from 1 of the Caribbean Islands.

My DD is a wiccan though with an Egyptian slant. There's a certain name for that practice but I don't remember. I even made her a very nice Book of Shadows for Christmas 1 year. Ones like she wanted aren't cheap to buy ready made, though not exactly cheap to make either. No idea why she got into it, but she did. There are pics of the BOS in my album. It's nature oriented stuff, what you put out comes back to you, not Satanism at all.

What are your interest/hobbies - besides cooking

I wasn't implying anything about Satanism being involved with growing your own herbs, LOL. I was merely pointing out that I am agnostic.

I wasn't sure. There are a lot of people that think anything Wiccan is devil worship. Her ex-husband's family, though not him, are staunch Catholics and it didn't go over well with them when she got into Wicca.

I am all about people doing whatever makes them happy as long as they aren't causing harm to others or themselves.

Edited to add that I should have used a broader brush in my earlier post and just said any form of organised religion instead of just using two for examples.

One of the women I work with is Wiccan. When I worked in the office, she'd frequently come by my desk and give me a little blessing for a calm/easy night when I was on-call. :)

Both MrsT and I, while not Wiccan, do really enjoy visiting prehistory spiritual sites when we travel, like Newgrange and things like that, so whenever we do that we bring her back something natural related to that.

On-call still stinks, though. Maybe it could be a whole lot worse... 🤔

I am absolutely pro-positivity. I have had friends and family pray for me, doesn't bother me a bit. I welcome that!

I find it interesting that my favorite SIL is Buddhist and a yoga instructor, which kinda clashes with my brother's quality control engineer brain (he is a complete atheist). It works for them.

I guess we got a bit derailed here, LOL. I am on the second rise of baking a nice loaf of bread. I decided to combine AP flour and bread flour this time. I am still relatively new to baking bread, the first several loaves were strictly AP flour, and the last few loaves were using bread flour. The bread flour did make fluffier and higher loaves with a great texture. We shall see if the mixture of the two (about half and half) still achieves reasonable results.

Since we're sharing, if I had to be labeled, I guess it would be agnostic, in that I don't give a 💩 one way or the other regarding a higher power, I just don't care. If Jesus came galloping out of the sky tomorrow, I'd just point him to the local praise church on the corner and tell him, "They're expecting you there." :laugh:

My bread today is a bit substandard. I've made this recipe several times with spectacular results, but today, for whatever reason...nope.

Yeah, at the end of the day, I have to reflect if I lived up to my own standards or not. That's what is important. I do try to be kind and just to others because it's the right thing to do. I have a hard time with that sometimes (hey, I am human, after all). It's a work in progress.

Maybe it has something to do with humidity and temperature change? IDK enough about baking bread to give you a valid answer, you've been doing it far longer than I. Guess I had better go check my loaf.
