I did not know you could eat nasturtiums!?!?!? and with a rasp vinaigrette. daaaayum carne.
You need to try it some time. It has a nice peppery flavor. Unfortunately it was my last nasturtium salad until next year. We're freezing at night now.

biscuits mash and icecream, are you into exercise as much as cooking? i'd be like a house end eating stuff like that on the reg.
I'm very strict on my portions. I keep my carbs below 60 grams per meal. I exercise regularly. Running, biking, hiking, swimming and a little weight training.

puts my fish finger sandwiches to shame. :( I only have a half hour to get ready and eat before i got to a 30th birthday tonight, that's my excuse.....
I usually do a lot of the prep work the night before (depending on the ingredients) and just throw stuff together after I get off from work. An old Mormon trick. I grew up preparing the meals the night before Fast Sunday so that "work" was kept to a minimum. I adapted it when my life became very complicated with a hospice patient to tend and a father with Alzheimer's. I had very little spare time. Worked out great. :)

props all round. I prep the day/night before for a lot of meals that need marinated. i guess my cooking style is pretty quick n easy.

i tried the low carb thing ( no more than 20-30 a meal) and did lose weight but unfortunately so did my partner who's only 8 stone anyway, didn't want to cook 2 different meals each night so i've upped my crab intake a bit and we eat almost the same stuff. balancing t is a chore but ho hum that's life.

We're just getting to our freeze too 3c this morning :( strawbs in my summerhouse are having a last ditch effort at fruit still though. i'll try nasturtiums next year for sure. though they spread like wildfire in the garden real hard to get rid of or keep from strangling everything else lol.

I built several box gardens for the nasturtiums. They are completely self contained. I have marigolds around the outside of the boxes. Great bug repellent.

Distilled, peat smoked, malted barley, with limestone water. Properly aged in charred oak. Served in cut lead crystal. And a candle.

Dad was craving an old camp dish we made all the time. Hatch chili roasted peeled and minced (about a cup), 6 cloves of garlic, 1 1/2 tsp. salt, 3 lbs. lean chopped sirloin and pepper to taste. Mix and cook until meat is done. Spread onto a buttered tortilla, roll it into a burrito and enjoy. The beverage was hot apple cider. brrrrr! The dessert was layered sponge cake with bavarian cream filling between the layers and cherry pie filling covering the top which was contained by a whipped cream corral. Yeehaw! I had one tiny sliver. This cake is very bad for my girlish figure.

Once upon a time, I visited Monterey. One of the coolest things I saw was this small roadcut gulch, practically enkudzued by a healthy riot of green&orange. cn

Right now I'm enjoying a glass of local red and making homemade beef stock for some (Guinness) Beef stew tomorrow.

Tonight's dinner was one of my quick go to's; A grocery store rotisserie chicken and steamed broccoli w/ garlic & butter.

:peace:
