I don't know what's happening with photos today and I usually like to see my formatting as tidy as I am able to make it but today it just feels like I have too many other things to do than faff about trying to make some very rudimentary photos look tidy.
The photos are the ones I have taken to keep me accountable for my Month of Beans Project. I'm doing well, not finding it a chore at all and there is so much potential in beans I could probably eat them every day for a year.
Sydney is super warm and sunny today, the breeze is warm and carries the scent of jasmine. I regret planting jasmine years ago, it's far too invasive and I am not really capable of keeping it in check but just on these few gorgeous smelling days, I let go of the regret and soak in the perfume.
Hopefully I'll get a few administrative tasks done and then be able to go outside and top up my vitamin D for a while.
I hope you're doing well, where ever you are in the world!
I don't have anything against beans. I quite like them but unless I ask my cooks to cook some, I never really have them.
ReplyDeleteBeans and lentils feature strongly in Indian cooking, I bet they could cook you some banging beans!
DeleteGlad you are enjoying the beans! And I never answered you, but I do keep a small jar of bacon fat next to the stove, but most of it is stored in jars in the freezer
ReplyDeleteThe reel I saw suggested that the houses with bacon fat by the stove are the ones with the best food!
DeleteYou have to keep some right by the stove to add that wonderful smoky fat flavor as needed. I cook bacon in the oven, usually 3 or 4 pounds at a time and put it in the freezer so we can grab a slice or 2 to nuke as needed/wanted. So most of the bacon fat goes into the freezer, as does the bacon. Cooked bacon has a very long shelf life, and I am pretty sure the frozen bacon fat will last almost forever. The cool thing about it is I can let it sit for about 30 minutes, scrape the softened fat off the top and easily replace what has been used from the stove top jar.
DeleteGood that your Month of Beans is going well. I must remember not to plant any jasmine! As for vitamin D, I take a tablet every day, seeing that there's so little sunshine here.
ReplyDeleteIt's likely that jasmine would be less rampant in a cooler climate. I'm supplementing Vitamin D at the moment, I was doing well and then i spent more than 6 months never seeing the sun and it wasn't good for me
DeleteYumi's are made in Melbourne, so I was always pleased to eat their entrees. Including beans.
ReplyDeleteI didnt know it was a Melbourne brand. They have done well, theres a good range in every supermarket
DeleteI'm glad you're still enjoying the beans!
ReplyDeleteAs for the formatting - this is why I have issues moving back to Blogger - it's so temperamental.
Yep, I take a vitamin D supplement too.
Sx
I've never thought Blogger was bad but then I've never used anything else.
DeleteVitamin D supplements would be essential in your part of the world
Well done on your month of beans. I used to do a lot more with them but now stick to the old familiar beans in tomato sauce on toast, a childhood favourite.

Beans on toast is classic and unbeatable!

ReplyDeleteExcuse me for being so brusque Kylie but what volume of gas have the beans caused you to emit this past month? Enough to fill Sydney Opera House?
ReplyDeleteNot as much as the hot air you talk!
