How about you?

 A quick little bit of fluff tonight but these kinds of memes are always fun.




1. Scrambled on sourdough

2. Prawn salad or egg or chicken, lettuce and mayo. Honestly, how am I supposed to choose? I also like banana, sultanas and peanut butter or butter and honey.

3. Hot chips. Followed by potato bake, mashed potato, roast potato, hash browns and potato in curry.

4. Coriander

5. Salt

6. Wooden spoon, wooden chopping board, quality knife.

7. Bolognaise

8. Lamb Shoulder

9. As a kid I always thought it was Christmas if we had fish and chips. Fish and chips was always take-away but Mum made lots of things I still enjoy: pavlova, vanilla nut custard, apricot chicken, Madras Steak and swwet and sour chicken.

    1. Tuna and mayonnaise is very nice, cucumber for crunch 😋
      Nosy? Well I'd say curious....

      Thanks, Neil

    1. Oh yes, lasagne is a winner! Schnitty followed by strudel and cream is also a fabulous choice.
      Good thinking, River

    1. Hels, I'll have smoked salmon and cream cheese any day.
      Crisps are potato chips.
      Crumpet and brie would never occur to me but it sounds very good.
      Thanks for playing along.

  4. 1: Scrambled/buttered.
    2: Chicken and walnut - with a kind of Waldorfy cream
    3: Roasted with rosemary and garlic
    4: Thyme
    5: Not a big "crisps" fan though if I get a certain brand I do find once I pop I can't stop.
    6: A finely serated knife I use for slicing tomatoes.
    7: Oddly, I'm with YP: farfalle, esp with a smoked salmon tomato and cream sauce, garnished with dill. I got the recipe off a farfalle packet. No onions in the base is a big time saver. Umami all comes from the smoked salmon.
    8: Beef. Would B. Wellington count or is that too risky? I've never really successfully made it which I now realise courtesy of THAT trial is because I didn't dry the mushrooms out enough.
    9: An Elizabeth David-ish beef casserole. (Mind you, in my childhood Elizabeth David mostly meant cooking with garlic and wine.)

    1. Hi Marcellous,
      Chicken and walnut sounds good! I have had chicken and slivered almonds, which is delightful.
      Thinking about that trial, I wonder why the mushrooms were dried. Nobody was going to care afterwards!
      The salmon pasta sounds lovely.
      Thanks for playing

    2. If they're not dried the pastry casing and paste become too soggy and kind of fall apart - from memory. It's a LONG time since I had the energy to try to make this. It really is a classic restaurant dish because it is too much trouble for home.

  5. You could also have asked What is your favourite cheese? Except that I wouldn't be able to narrow it down to one. I like cheddar and brie and Stilton and mozzarella. Take your pick!

    1. Great question! Different cheeses for different dishes but there's a special place in my heart for brie

  6. We have much in common - wooden spoon immediately popped into my head - but I think roast potatoes might be my favourite way with spuds.
    Same with Christmas re fish'n'chips when I was a kid!

    1. wooden spoons are just so beautifully tactile, you can't beat them.
      I'm currently eating roast spuds and they are divine.
      Lovely to have you here, as always xo
