No more crap food from April 1st, got an early start on that, found this rather splendid looking recipe for salmon with green beans, mushrooms & sweet taters. Yesterday I hit WallyWorld, Costco & Stater Bros for all the gubbins. :thumbup:
Today I spent about an hour or so following the recipe to the letter. Everything came out looking just like the pic that accompanied the recipe.
The sauce was made from tahini, rice vinegar, fresh ground ginger & honey. :shock:

Couldn't taste a bloody thing. :roll:

Taken delivery of a food parcel. I say food parcel, it's more like 4 bin bags of out of date food blagged by my spawn in law.

Tonight we eat like [s]kings[/s] tramps. :banana-dance:

And what we don't eat, the chickens will.

Just had a flashback to when I was banging a succession of Italian gals when I lived in London around 40 years ago. I had totally forgotten about this

They introduced me to ice cream in a croissant which in Italy would be ice cream in a warm brioche, I'll pause a second for you to imagine that........... It was nice to be doing something "normal" for this time of year.

Asked my kid to clipper my hair. Looked pretty good.

Only a couple of hours later I went to the loo, looked in the mirror where the light is much brighter, turned my head to one side and saw the massive landing strip she'd accidentally given me. :D

Fily has, successfully, achieved several trims for me during the last year.

The most recent one, though, was apparently a good enough likeness to earn me a new nickname.

For those of us with Gluten intolerance all these pictures of fantastic looking cakes are cruel and unusual punishment.

That was an old picture. I have a gluten intolerance and gave it up two years ago. It crept back into my diet over lockdown (pancakes mainly) and then I remembered why I stopped eating it so I'm almost back to zero gluten again :cry:

There are no decent substitutes.

She's after me to buy her a car to learn in.

Trust me, she's being very, very nice to me of late....

I found this today,in sideways,it must have been there a while as I didn't notice it until the tyre wore down to make the threads visible.

Roads are fulla shite. :evil:
