Maybe you have a point. Still it was a nice meal. Allan And....that stainless steel tea set! Sheer nostalgia!😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Touristy but tasty. served on English written paper. wonder what the language police would say if they saw it. 😉 disclaimer, i am for the preservation of the French language in North America, but it should be done organically, and choose you battles.

Betty LaRue Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 We’re having a balmy day today with bright sun. Love the autumn season. I weigh myself every morning, and if I ever see as much as a two pound gain, I get right on it. One or two days will fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this dish was at a non-Italian bistro on the corner of Mulberry and Grand, the heart of Little Italy. It lasted about a year. Basta. They forgot the tartar sauce for the fish. A must-have for me.

Rather grateful they weren’t served with my beloved fish & chips. I eat peas maybe 3 times a year and am very neutral to slightly “don’t care for” about them. I’ll buy them occasionally just for variety. If they go with anything…they go with meatloaf and mashed potatoes, which causes me to rather like them. mushy peas wasn't has bad as i expected. I like peas, but raw straight out of the shell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand to be corrected but that looks like what we call cod goujons in the UK. Maybe a little bigger than the norm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love raw peas too, I eat them fresh from the pod at the allotment, but for much of the year they are not available. That's when the tins of mushy peas come into their own, along with the compulsory vinegar. Strangely enough we hardly ever buy frozen peas, unlike frozen corn which is an important constituent of fish pie. So this evening I cooked a vegetarian biryani, We had a small squash to use, onions and a courgette. I needed some more green stuff so picked some spinach leaves. Incredibly I then found a recipe for squash and spinach biryani. The recipe called for an exotic mixture of spices, but I settled for a tablespoon of garam masala, a teaspoon of ground ginger, and some chopped garlic. The finished dish was then topped with yoghurt. The result was Ok, more a work in progress than the finished product, but we both cleared our plates, so no disaster - which is just as well as I made enough for two meals.......

Betty LaRue Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 Beautiful warm day, so this evening I trimmed another of my Althea bushes, then began working on my huge burning bush. A great feeling of accomplishment to have it done, but I used hand nippers and now have a broken blister at the base of my thumb. It was nearly dark by the time I finished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Crean Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 The other day I saw an offer from Adobe for new clients...40% off All Apps as a new customer. So I went on the chat from the CC dashboard and managed to negotiate a 20% discount as a long standing client using the Photography Plan. I pay annually in October so they will discount me the balance of what I've already paid for the year ahead and re-bill at the discounted rate from today. They also said this would be my new subs going forward! Happy days!!!😁 On another note just had 8 images from the same shoot reported as a sale, only upper mid $, so my total nett mid low $$; but nice to see a set like that sold. I'll put them in the sold thread as I'd love to see where they were published. Phil 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Richards Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Just ploughed through my back catalogue and found a decent number of pictures I took in Italy that I've never uploaded. Going to go through all my RAW image folders and dare say I'll find a lot more useable images. Nice job for when the weather is not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing much to say… except “hi”… 😇 I guess the ban was about the size of the fish in the fish n chips. It seems a very touchy subject in the UK nowadays. Who stole my fish is the bestselling book title in current Christmas sales apparently. This is an animated review. After that I initially found some solace in the video that the Youtube algorithm chose for me as a follow up. But nor for long. And after this Youtube served me with Dunning Kruger. Obviously. Now I'm watching cat video's. Oops that's a spoiler. wim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
