My kid had the pre-Christmas crud, I had the Christmas crud, and now Mrs. GH has the post-Christmas crud. Minor suck, but it's no big deal for any of us, though I doctored some Chicken Noodle Soup as something special tonight for Mrs. GH all the same after cooking a frozen chicken in the Instant Pot, with some secret ingredients... 3 star anise and a fistful of frozen wild ramp bulbs that I've been saving. The latter are POTENT and should clear her head and chest! If not, there's vodka and OJ. 🤣

We could use that here - a little of the crud here as well.

You used the whole bag??? 😲
 
I actually ate breakfast at 8pm. Home made veggie burger, sweet/sour sauce from last week's Chinese, chips and baked beans (which I found in a supermarket yesterday)
Yep, I know, you'll probably think I'm wierd (if you didn't already know), but when I'm on a cooking mission, everything else gets set aside. I'd promised to make dolmades (Greek stuffed vine leaves) for NY's eve, so I pulled the vine leaves from the freezer. I also had to make a pile of mango chutney, because I've got two new partners who are desperate to get my chutneys in the supermarket. I stopped producing commercially in 2016, but these guys won't give up.
I thought 2 pkts of vine leaves might make 40-50 dolmades. It made over 80, and that's fussy work. The mango chutney was a whole lot easier.
Photos later - they won't upload in time.

Dolmades!!!
 
I have 2 grape vines, last year I did use the leaves to make something with ground meat and peanuts, not rice.
