An inquisitive old fart with a camera
Home delivery of schawarma, lemeyun (Armenian pizza), falafel, baklava: what’s not to like?
Perhaps the fact that my photo wasn’t detailed enough to get the phone number? But hey. Took about two minutes to figure it out.
…leaving three intact. We’ve been getting a lot of double yolkers lately. Young commercial hens?
(It happens in old hens too, but commercial hens don’t live to be old.)
Total weight 3.7 kg – 8 lbs 2 oz.
Local honey: we live in Atlántida.
Local wine: 33 km (20.5 miles) away as the crow flies.
Almost all our produce, meat, and dairy come from within 200 km (124 miles). No 3,000-mile salads here!
…were not on my shopping list. For the first time in (10?) years we have a great crop of oranges in the back yard.
My first attempt at bread with a new sourdough starter was not a roaring success, so I ended up with small pieces of toast for breakfast (at noon). What more fitting to go along with them than an egg with two yolks?
I’ll have a slice of pizza. Please make sure it’s smiling.
Yes, they actually sell a container for freezing lemon wedges. Perfect for my first harvest of hot chili peppers, segregated pending an expert opinion regarding the heat of each. One “wedge” of yellow is probably about right for one batch of salsa méxicana, but red and green/black? Ya veremos.
…when you spread jam on fresh toast it tastes like pond scum…
…no worrying about whether it’s moldy, because you’ll never be able to tell.
Definitely bolsters my faith in humanity to know that someone, somewhere, thought this was a good idea.
Mid-winter, fresh veggies from the feria (street market) a couple days ago. I threw all this and more into my own bag in order to bring home as little plastic as possible. Most of the vendors just love putting everything in plastic bags.
