Gosh, so could I! Although it's a bit of a faff doing the put-the-plate-on top-and flip it thing, I find making them easier than e French omelette (always goes lopsided and wrong). Plus, a tortilla is great cold. Great for lunch the next day (if there's any left  ) |

I could run with that, hh. And I hope that's a nice rioja you're having with it.  I wouldn't run with it. Unless you're into deconstructed egg and spoon races (actually deconstructed is the wrong word here isn't it?) that is. It's a Chilean rosé not a rioja I'm afraid. Gosh, so could I!

I have a yen for spaghetti with chicken liver (sorry veggies!) sauce tonight. I have the chook bits, got the red wine, tomatoes, chilli pepper and onions. Now, will I actually rouse myself to make it this evening?  |

I have the most lovely PINK potato salad!!
I have only recently discovered The Joy of Beetroot and I had some beets in a sweet chillie marinade, so have chucked them in with the potatoes, onions and mayonnaise, just given it a stir and wonderful colour! So to increase the Barbie pink appeal I have added some sliced little cherry tomatoes. It's a girl thing I suspect.

Beetroot has a bad reputation - probably arising from the dodgy pickled variety in unimaginative salads - but it has long been a favourite in the PW household. It makes a regular appearance in our veg box and home-made borscht (my Polish friends tell me it is really called barszcz and comes originally from Poland) is a great favourite here. And it's great baked with white fish - diced fine and wrapped in foil with a meaty white fish (pollock is ideal), some garlic cloves, a little olive oil and a glug of balsamic vinegar, and baked in the oven, and garnished with fresh coriander.

I have only recently discovered The Joy of Beetroot Just prepare yourself for the red wee if you eat large amounts of it  I like beetroot sarnies, not the pickled variety, with a bit of mayo to moisten the bread. Beetroot has a bad reputation - probably arising from the dodgy pickled variety in unimaginative salads Why do people ruin beetroot with vinegar? There are far better ways to eat it. |

And requesting an Ambiwlans ! It is quite delicious though, beetroot, but not with vinegar which is so school dinners. I can't see MableJane's pic. Def going to try PW's recipe. |

Probably MJ,
There is of course the effect of aparagus upon bodily functions? Perhaps this topic is best left unreported upon?

You mean this? Why does my urine smell funny after consuming asparagus?
Most authorities feel that the compound that causes the odor in urine after consumption of asparagus is methylmercaptan, which is a sulfur-containing derivative of the amino acid, methionine. This is disputed by a few individuals who claim that the odiferous compound is asparagine-amino-succinic-acid monoamide, which is derived from the amino acid, asparagine. In either case, the product is formed as a derivative during the digestion and subsequent breakdown of beneficial amino acids that occur naturally in asparagus. |

I quite like beetroot in vinegar* but it has to be home-made and eaten in moderation.
I also like it without vinegar.
*This could be because I never had it for school dinner. Mushy peas [shudder]. That's a different matter.

Beetroot makes me think of tea at my Uncle Bryn's house. New potatoes and beetroot from his allotment. And angelica cake. And the knives that they told me I wouldn't be able to cut myself on. It took some effort but I drew blood after a little while. And finding a four leaf clover in the garden. And my grandma and Auntie Phyllis arriving in taxis, so alike I mistook Auntie Phyllis for grandma until I practically ran into her. And running across the field towards them across the field, hand in hand with my little sister. Um. This should be in the Happy Room shouldn't it?  |
