What Did You Eat And Drink Last?

[Tornadic Thoughts]

Two quarts of water, a cup of roasted dandelion root tea with blackstrap molasses and a drop of liquid stevia, and 4 mandarin oranges.

Then I remembered I still had some of my favorite smoothie stashed in the freezer and thawed it to have for lunch.

So my latest craze for salad cream is continuing.

Toast spread with salad cream topped with eggs.
Baby plum tomatoes
A few red grapes from the fridge.
Hungry again now, should have some veg

I'm growing pink dandelions this year for tea and salad greens! I'm so excited! Also lemon and orange balm, lots of different mints for tea, and I'm looking for a tea plant for black tea.

So my latest craze for salad cream is continuing.

What is salad cream? I bought Spotted Dick for my son when he was a teen so he would laugh, but his friend from China ate it, lol.

Lol, @DharmaGirl Salad Cream is a poor man's mayonnaise, literally, it was developed during rationing in the 1st world war.

Tastes more tangy and less creamy than mayo. I had lots of it growing up but not much at all as an adult. Only really when I got a particular salad from Mark's and Spenser - boiled eggs, new potatoes, salad greens and Salad Cream. It does go lovely with eggs and new potatoes ♡

I seem to be craving quite a few foods from my childhood lately, am interested to know what I'll crave next :D

And Spotted Dick, is just the best name for comfort food that I can think of. :laugh:

Never once had that growing up. Love it now though.

Did the chinese friend like it? :D

Yay, @DharmaGirl ! It's so much fun to sow the seeds and nurture things to harvest. Also fun to explore the land that surrounds and find what nature is already providing with no need for labor on our behalf. Looking forward to the wild plantain, red clover, dandelions, yellow dock, chickweed, etc., etc. My favorite time of year, for sure. :)

Thrown together quick soupy thing.
Sauteed diced onion, carrots and courgettes
Added a little ginger garlic and ground coriander, half a veg stock cube, and a teaspoon of rose harissa.
Added the harissa having forgotten I used ginger and coriander and then remembered and expected a clashy flavour but it was nice actually
Didn't blend it.

Don't know if you guys killed my appetite with Spotted Dick or got me more hungry for the heck of it...

But laughing so hard that's a thing.
So happy & cheers, to impossibly named meals and else.

spotted dick is delicious. But very filling.

I love those old english puddings. Spotted dick is far from my favourite. I like Sussex pond pudding quite a bit.

Had to google that! Another wonderfully unappealing name, good stuff :)

Treacle tart is my absolute favourite. God, heaven!

Coke Zero again today and a slice of margarita pizza which was grim.
