Re my post 2955, I have just reread it.

I meant to write that my wife grows herbs in "bots".

Being Finnish, she often confuses "p" and "b", as in "I walked up the bath and washed in the path".

B is a rarely used letter in Finnish, makes for interesting shopping lists.

As an infant at primary school (we lived in a rural agricultural village with a two-class school with just 26 pupils spread over two 'tables') my daughter confused 'b' and 'd' - a form of dyslexia.

Yesterday, Passion Sunday, had the traditional pea soup. This is an old recipe that needs forward planning, so soaked the dried peas overnight from Saturday, + about two-and-a-half hours' cooking on Sunday.
There's rosemary, that's for remembrance. ...

we refer to it as Carlin sunday
The vicar of our last parish in Scarborough (Yorks) hailed from Middlesbrough and his wife always supplied a pan of Carlin peas with plastic cups & forks and a vinegar jar for the congregation after the morning service on Palm Sunday. My late wife thought they were disgusting but I loved 'em!

Earlyish lunch: a hoosh-mi or pilaf of sautéed rice, onion, garlic, sliced almonds; stock, a little mustard, a 70g tin of kidney beans with chili and olive oil, courgette, red and green peppers; with chopped fresh parsley, chives and tomato added.
I'd forgotten about the chili in the beans so was pleased I had not added pepper, and it didn't seem to need salt, being quite tasty as was.
There's rosemary, that's for remembrance. ...

Sounds very much like what I am contemplating building for dinner.

(At last - a recipe that even I can follow)

Gracie Allen's Classic Recipe for Roast Beef:
Set the oven to 220C/428F.
Take 1 large roast of beef and 1 small roast of beef.
Place them in the oven.
When the little roast catches fire the big roast is done.

I could not be bothered cooking tonight ( poor planning ) So a large healthy kebab it was,with oodles of very hot chilli sauce. This meant that a number of bottles of 7.8% ABV Aspalls were swallowed.

Sounds good ma'am! ;)))

Tastes even better I guess! :)

Lunch today: chicken breast sautéed in a Tbs of coconut oil with onion, fresh thyme and some thin wisps of orange zest; broccoli and leek; served with a little butter, a shake of white pepper and a few flakes of Maldon salt.

Will eat the rest of the orange later.
