Fried pork sirloin and baked potatoes at a local restaurant. The butter and veggies were seasoned with tarragon (which I'm supposed to hate) but I enjoyed the meal. Taming of taste buds in progress .

Soft serve icecream with discodip. A common snack item here.

Spaghetti with mussels, mange tout and tomatoes. A good slosh of Thai fish sauce in there too.

Discodip! Not heard that word before. A bit like 'hundreds and thousands' in the UK.

Just had some lasagna that I made last night.

Why do you not like tarragon?

I recall tasting Béarnaise sauce when I was little and being shocked when it didn't taste like the Remoulade sauce or Tartar sauce mommy always had in the fridge. The taste of tarragon/dragoon bowled a googly. Another bad experience was years later when taking a bite of ready made pizza and spasming when the oregano had been replaced with tarragon and thyme. Just think when you're super hungry and waiting for that familiar, comforting taste and then you're blown away with something completely different. I still haven't recovered from those memories. It's funny how one or two bad experiences (with supposedly familiar food stuff) have such a big influence.

We've been nibbling quite a lot of salmiak (salt liquorice) candies tonight so I have to drink two cups of tea before hitting the sack. Hotel Comfort () calls me during the night, that's sure. We made some sandwiches with seed & kernel rye bread and Emmental cheese too. We usually have this herbal infusion as "tea" in the evening. With honey. The bread is from a small local bakery. It's sold in most supermarkets in lovely paper bags.

I don't like tarragon either. Always substitute basil


Dinner tonight was crab stuffed shrimp and mushrooms, with puff pastry bites of spicy cranberry relish and brie. Dessert will be pain au chocolat.
