A summer’s day, ending suddenly in rain. My new carer is here, learning the ropes. The previous one is going to visit family in Goa and India for a month.
No knitting, but a new bright light has arrived as recommended by Helen. We have assembled it, and located it beside my chair. I’ll report tomorrow. Helen is coming back from Thessaloniki on Thursday, not today as I had hoped.
I’m uneasy about Princess Anne. Poor royal family! Ci mancava anche questo.
I’ve been reading David Chang’s autobiography and am inspired to attempt a diet of ramen noodles. I think the only recipe I know is Nigella’s.
Wordle: Another three for me! The starters yielded four browns. The struggle was relatively brief. The result didn’t seem at all likely but world at least eliminate another consonant and give me another place for each letter where it couldn’t go. But it was right!
Rachel thoroughly redeemed yesterday’s failure with a two. Roger shared my three. Four elsewhere, except Mark, who scored five.
My winning streak has now reached 50. My max was 67, long ago, in the days when I usually scored five. So its getting scary.
American spelling again in Wordle!
ReplyDeleteYes.... I was struggling until I remembered the New York Times runs it now.
DeleteNot solely noodles, surely? There must be some vegetable matter and protein. You don't want to risk beriberi.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear the light has arrived. I hope it helps.
I make an inauthentic version using stirfry beef strips, beef stock, sliced spring onions, sriacha and a dollop of hot not too sweet chutney all dumped into the slowcooker for an hour and a half. A sort of hot and sour soup. The chutney is instead of tamarind which I didn't have I rehydrate noodles and add at the last moment. Made a quick version using sliced up cooked barbeque chicken pieces added to a similar soup base cooked in a saucepan. The 'straight to wok' udon noodles are good in it too. And other veg / shredded leaves can go in too.
ReplyDeleteSounds all very unlikely but we enjoyed it - maybe there's no accounting or hope for my palate...?
It would be interesting to know what Chang said about ramen noodles to catch your attention?
