Hey! I didn't say anything...
Sorry Pac. Only in the sciences. but for common sense, the girls take it all the way.
Okay, enough of the gender stereotypes.
I'm having a BAT sandwich...BACON, Avocado and Tomato.
Sadly, I don't have two of the three
I'm seeing how much stuff I can fit in my 10" CI skillet right now. And watching the Clint Trilogy. I wish one of these times they'd start them earlier or even reverse the order (it's not like they were a series). I doubt I'll last through The Good, the Bad and the Ugly...
I spent this morning putting together a boxed flower bed. Ready to plant crocus sativus (Saffron). Seems cheaper to grow and prepare my own, rather than spend close to £5 for a tiny amount, which may only serve 2 recipes.
For £5 I've purchased close to 40 bulbs, which if they all grow will produce roughly 2 tablespoons worth of saffron strands....
Labour, that's the reason saffron is so expensive. Back in the middle ages, it was in recipes for everything. Labour was cheap.I planted those in a garden bed in our first house, maybe 10 or so bulbs. They bloomed for a few years, then we moved. The new owners probably had no idea why they had crocuses blooming in autumn! I used a pair of tweezers to pull the tiny strands from the flower, then put them on paper towels to dry before I put them in a jar. Had enough for a couple pots of soup each year.
Procrastinating about getting into the shower. I need to get off this computor & get ready for mass.
Today is our daughters special day that we celebrate every year. 14 years ago today we legally adopted her from the state of South Dakota. It was a closed adoption with no contact from the birth parents by their choice. We always do something special on this day the 21st of July.
