h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

knocked up a fabulus meal the other night, W loved it... basically bulghur wheet, with beans; was with kidney as that was waht we had in... and worked so well even though I can't imagine combinding beans and bulghur is a normal thing as I can't think of anythwere they're likely to both exist natively in the same country.

I;
fried mustard seed, fennel seed, cumin seed, added diced onion,..... then threw in diced chicken, and added black pepper, and a little oragino and some rosemary once that was basically done, threw in sliced mushrooms and garlic, cooked for about a minute, then threw in sufficient bulghur (did enough for two meals for both W and I, so two of the cups I use for measuring rice).

added butter, and mixed it all up, then threw in the spicey kidney beans in tomato sauce (we got the tin by accident which had the spicey tomato sauce luckylly....)

then added extra water, cooked for a while, before putting on the lid, and turning off the heat, to let it finish cooking.

And, maybe, tonight, though I've not yet decided.... its Sweden meets Northern UK... with....

Black pudding pit a panna. seriously. I think this is so gonna work

Decided it was too hot too cook.... apparently the hottest September day since 1911... or something.

dont' cope well with weahter that is hot, at the best of times... I.E., before I was ill... now... menapausal hot flushes (as my testosterone drops), combined with 30 degrees or more... actually anything much above 20 or so now does it,and I just melt Kinda odd really, as being hypothyroid, and no now no longer taking the meds for the thyroid, I oughta be perminantly cold which I'm just never cold anyhow... so decided was too hot to cook, so made up a potatos salad with the leftover spuds from last night... - making the most of the late new potatos whilst they're still about, we had salmon last night, roast with onion and red pepper and rosemary, with broccoli and the potatos, hence had half left this evening so had a tuna salad with the lefover potatos

Oddly. I had gherkin with mine. then after eating. I went and eat more gherkins.

I've a real craving for gherkins, and I've just recalled there are some picked onions left in the fridge in a jar... MMMm pickled onions... gherkins....

A food craving... for odd food... Oh.... clearly my body has yet again deicded to convince itself I'm not only undergoing the menapause but am pregnant.

Weirdness? don't talk to me about weirdness - luckily, I've some quite large maternity sized dresses already of course...
