COLD DARK ROOM

[144 Grandpa Turtle]

Just having a lazy Sunday morning Grandpa.

Good morning all. It's not snowing which is good. We'll probably head to the farmer's market if the weather holds.... ah, now I realise how I may get some avarice points!

Well I guess you and I are the only awake ones !

 

[JoesMum]

I'm just back from the Farmer's Market. Some good winter veg, some of which is now simmering as soup.

And more calorific were the goodies from a Ukranian stallholder who got us to taste all her delicious homemade foods.

So here's Russian Liver Cake that will accompany the soup for lunch


And here's her Honey Cake that I wasn't going to get, but JoesDad insisted


There was also a very tasty beetroot salad that we'll get another time. It's not really salad weather here right now!

 

[Kristoff]

That's a little too much, John.
You should probably go back and delete that.

Hello, friends! Did I miss anything?

Oh, the liver cake! I want that!!!

Is this a taste of Russia that you're familiar with Lena? I guess there are as many recipes as people who make it.

Good afternoon all.
A murky grey and very cold day here - still no snow for us
Never mind I more week to half term

I have to go shopping for Lola now - wish he would do his own!
Hopefully the dandies and other delicious weeds will be back soon.
I've managed to grow a lovely patch of clover that I pulled up from out conservation area at school last autumn.
I just left it in water for a while, then when it started sprouting more leaves I planted it in a tray of soil and it has really spread.
Next move will be for it to planted in Lola's outside enclosure when hopefully it will really thrive and spread even more.

No avaricious thoughts here about your liver cake Linda, doesn't appeal to me at all - but I hope you enjoy it!

It looks like the one I'm used to. My mom makes these. We had this instead of husband's birthday cake. I'll see if I can find a picture.

 

[Kristoff]

Found it! Husband's birthday lunch: salted fish, mussels and the liver cake.

 

[JoesMum]

Never mind I more week to half term

It's half term this week in Kent.

No avaricious thoughts here about your liver cake Linda, doesn't appeal to me at all - but I hope you enjoy it!

It was delicious. It doesn't taste livery which sounds weird. It's very tender. And the filling involved mayo, grated carrot and fresh green herbs. Yummy! We'll have that again

EDIT Having seen Lena's photo, I'm pretty sure there was egg in this one too

[Gillian M]

We're having a meal fit for gluttony today. Chili cheese dog bubble up bake and a peach cobbler for dinner!

Hi Meech and welcome back!

Hope you're well.

 

[JoesMum]

Settling down to even more rugby: France v Scotland.

I really want Scotland to win. They've had a bad time in recent years and need to get back to winning ways

I missed a lot. Now, that could be a good or a very good thing.

Good morning everyone! Didn't get out of work until 2300 last night. Terrible terrible terrible day and outcome. I am SO glad to see the sunny personalities of the cold dark roomers today

 

[Gillian M]

Hello, friends! Did I miss anything?

Hi! Don't know, wasn't around - sorry.

 

[Gillian M]

Hello Gillian! All is well, i hope you and oli are well too!

Glad to hear that.

We're fine despite the very cold weather.

 

[Momof4]

Haha it can be! Im an X-ray technologist at an urgent care over here in the states

Awesome!!!
If we used your urgent care, you would know my 11yr old daughter's name!!
I'm afraid she lives in the x-ray room!! She's such an athlete and always gets hurt!
I told her next time a bone better be sticking out before we go back in!!

Good afternoon, Linda.
