Plans for today (2025)

I'd like to try that. Closest around here that's not a chicken or a turkey would be a buzzard.

Not sure how comparable that would be but the name ‘Buzzard Burger’ will have the tills ringing

Lots to do today. Cut the grass, harvest basil, plant wildflower seeds for Mom, and make bread.

Ostrich is very lean meat.

Ostrich is very lean meat.

Very tender though, well the stuff they sell here is.

The IPL (Indian Premier League) has been suspended for a week because of the India/Pakistan conflict, so all of a sudden, I've got loads more time on my hands.
First task: cut up all the green mangoes and freeze them for future mango chutney preparation.
Second task: buy some tomatoes and a new vegetable rack for the kitchen.
How do these two go together??
I bought a small container of cherry tomatoes on Wednesday, ate a couple of them, then put them on the veg rack in the kitchen. Last night, the container was gone. Mr Porky had picked up the container, sneaked it out into the garden and eaten the lot.

He certainly looks very sorry he did it

Mind you I realise that will cut you no slack when it comes to a stressed mum with a prem baby waiting at the other end

Right, and her husband has a M-F 9-5 job so that's the only day they were available.

Ostrich is very lean meat.

My husband loves it.

I had a lot of surprise delays in my errand running yesterday so didn't get to the pasta making. But I got that semolina for nearly half the price at Marc's so very pleased about that. Yes AP flour works fine but I like to use half semolina and half AP. It has a better flavor and texture IMO. Light housework today as well.

Mr Porky is like "Have any more please?"

How ironic that there are tomato plants in pots just behind him. karadekoolaid when your plants bear fruit, will he pick it off them for a snack or does he only like the ones that are washed and come into containers?

Didn't sleep too well last night and not feeling 100% when I woke up, so stayed in.
Did a sanity check on my edits to the chocolate cake conversion I did, and baked a test cake.
Time to chill before deciding what to eat.
