My culinary pet peeve is Parsley being relegated to garnish. It's a whole freaking ingredient! Earthy and vibrant leaves and stalks finely chopped cuts through the rich flavours of stews and sauces beautifully

Oh yeah and my 17 yr old made the loveliest deep fried cauliflower for lunch. I have experienced so many hard fought days that when things as perfect this happen I shout them to the world and hold them dear in my chest

As @nigella.bsky.social would say ' here's to the virtue and deliciousness of brown food '
Sweet and white potatoe with pumpkin and lentils spiced stew  - if you are cooking brown food and the flavours aren't coming together try a teaspoon of Vegemite. I find it works every time

Is there better pinks then rhubarb pink and radish pink
A cooking tray of roasted rhubarb stalks- a beautiful glossy pink.
They are intended for my overnight oats but they won't last that long - they never doA decorated little cup in front of blue tiles with little cubes of  crisp pink and white radish marinating in salt.
These will be used as a garnish because that's all that will be left if I keep munching on them

When you add alt text to your images, it provides a service for everybody. I'm sighted but rely on it all the time for various reasons.

I am not saying Pope Leo is wrong for trying to rehabilitate the Catholic Church but no church that ever preaches the teachings of Jesus should need rehabilitating or be rehabilitated, especially after thousands of years of flagrant and evil disregard of those teachings.

Even if you don't eat radish - grow it. It is sincerely the most beautiful crisp pink and bright white. So contemporary and fresh. Let your eyes eat it even if your mouth doesn't

A white-throated dipper feeding in the Dighty Burn downstream from the Seven Arches (Balmossie) Viaduct in Monifieth. Same individual as the one below but seen earlier in the day. One of five individuals seen on my walk. 📷📸🎞️🪶 #birds #ukwildlife
A brown bird with a bright white breast is seen in profile facing left perched on a wet branch at the bottom of a small waterfall with turbulent water below and in the background. They have a chestnut brown head, a dark beak and a brown eye with black pupil. Their back and sides are slightly mottled dark brown.
