Dinner tonight - or last night.

It was pretty good!

And just the easiest soup to make. Must do this again while there's lots of asparagus around.

breakfast for supper again

made some pancakes with apple chunks
real maple syrup
crispy bacon

fennel crackers with summer sausage and marble cheddar

foraging for some kind of fresh fruit or veg

after our swim we went out for breakfast this morning , did some shopping - including some shopping at the "golden rooster" danish deli .
decided a cold lunch was in order : fresh sourdough bread from pan chanco , gooseliver sausage , two kinds of smoked ham , "zwiebel-mettwurst" - a soft , salami style sausage with onions , butter and cheeses , lots of tea .

added a banana for potassium !!!

pizza and beer (I am having to go simple these days )

these are so nice and fennel-y

a big hit here in the south west

Ooh, I love fennel! (Like the fennel & pork sausages made locally ...)

Am yet to come across it in a biscuit, though .....

Sounds great!

now for a late night/early morning sandwich

houmous (not sure how you spell it) on granary bread

Hey, Endy!

hey Olga

Here's hoping we get more reports of your culinary efforts, Endy.

Good to find you in the kitchen, Endy

Truth is - since i gave up the cigarettes - FOOD!!! oh my god! - i just can't tell you.
I've been smoking since i was 11 - so it's like i've NEVER tasted half this stuff properly before.
I have to be careful or i will put on weight.
Thing is though - i've decided that quantity can not make up for quality - unless it's garlic of course - i could eat garlic butter on toast with red wine until...
well, i won't go there

Cheers to you, Olga and EhBeth

I know, I know, Endy!

Congratulations on staying off the fags. Not easy at all!

flavour flavour
savour the flavour

garlic for you

onions for me

~~~

how to explain my thread about fried onions?

yer makin' me miss workin the bar.

Nothing like a hot grill and fresh onions...

(don't miss the goons though...)

ehBeth - i found your onion thread and i understand

Maybe sometime, when i'm more awake i will come over there and talk about veggies - i'm no expert and i never follow any recipes - but i'm beginning to find cooking almost the highlight of my day - it certainly is nothing like writing, but still so creative

Hey - thanks EhBeth - i've been missing all those cooking threads

Olga - about the smoking... i still get the urges but when they come (rarely now) i just tell them to 'sling their hook' (what ever THAT means)
Truth is, i need to budget now (don't we all) and i wouldn't want to spend the extra few quids on cigarettes ever again.

Hey Rockhead - i worked the bar in a pub in London for a year when i was just 'around' 18. i wrote something about it once, don't know where it would be though-buried in a thread somewhere i guess

Hey - the insomnia is beaten at last -I'm off t'me bed now

have a peaceful one

Waves to Endy!

Strange day and strange evening. Early evening I was busy putting up curtain rods and hanging drapes (let's see, 52 11/16th" + 30" = 82 11/16" but the other rod holder would be at 83 1/8", so I have to move that holding screw down 7/16").

And I was not up for even the mildest cooking. So...

part of a bag of salted peanuts in the shell, and cold milk with cocoa and cinnamon, with ice, and pellegrino: sort of like a chocolate soda.

very simple lunch :
hodgpodge , some asparagus and musrooms , wieners from the mennonite sausage maker , V 8
