Current favorite salsa is out of a jar, but super all-natural. It's called Gringo Mountain, something like that. Chips are 100% white corn. The cheese, I can't remember. I think maybe some kind of onion Beemster. They have this basket at our grocery store where they package up the last slivers of whatever fancy cheese wheel they're divvying up, so you can get just a tiny bit of something and see if you like the flavor without committing to an $8 wedge of it. We just grab several at a time. A few flavors have been awful--we both hated the wine-infused cheese, for example--but most of them have been pretty interesting.

We just got some sort of organic, free range, goats milk, feta cheese from Trader Joes. I thought feta was feta, but this stuff was divine.

Perhaps they can get together over a bottle of wine.

Have you ever felt like something quite inconsequential is breaking your heart, even though the only thing which has ever touched your heart has been a stimulant because the stomach is the powerhouse of emotions?
. . . . Just me then. Mum's friend is not coming round for dinner. She (Mum) deliberately did not tell me that. Not out of malice, just that she didn't want to disappoint me. Hmmm. That way, farce lies. I can picture her nipping in and out of the patio windows in a wig pretending to be Maureen... Sorry, that has really lifted my spirits as I'm laughing at my own imagination now. But I am mourning the fact I am cooking a gorgeous meal for two people. And the meal I planned would have been different if I'da known that. Because it was originally for five. The main reason for cooking is to allow Mum time to sit and chat. Which she doesn't want to do with Dad. Still, almost nothing was bought new; it's all about eating from the freezer. Just sad that a real, proper, slap-up roast meal won't be more of an occasion.

Ewwwww. Greasy cold lamb.
As I sit and type this, I am using up the leftovers. They're in a pan downstairs (the casserole dish has the remains of the crumble in it) being slow-cooked with tomato, carrots, onion, mint, dates and a tiny bit of apricot jam. If you follow my posts in a stalkerish way, you will realise I've skewed that to Mum's taste. I'm not keen on lamb or fruit and lamb. Or apricots and anything. Or dates. It's a fusion between Moroccan cuisine and What-Mum-Likes. And even Michelin starred chefs must cater to the latter on occasion. ETA She loved it. Even I didn't think it was too bad. Lamb is so much better slow cooked than roasted imho. She wants me to make it when the girls come round next time. This is always the Ultimate Compliment, as she is basically saying "This is me, this is what I like to eat." Even if some of the rest of the group just see it as a get-together and you get what you get ![]()
