Toadfish Monastery

Paella valenciana. Good stuff.

Was out collecting water samples, and it was cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey, so treated myself to a hefty fry-up for lunch. Arteries hardening as we type, but soooo goood.....

Nothing much, as guts decided to go into purge mode again and I think I'll indulge them for a while (certain parts being sore from over-use and over-wiping, liquids are easier than half-digested solids).

Poor Aggie! Can you do saltines, at least?

I just finished Swiss cheese on pumpernickel with fresh spinach and Dijon mustard.

Not the stomach that's the issue - and the rest seems to be getting back to normal. Didn't see much point in eating when it's just going to get fired straight through and cause discomfort.

Having a bowl of home-made borcht, seemed to sit well at breakfast (added bonus - very easy to track transit time ).

Sorry about that.

Popcorn

Not enough popcorn.

Darlica, hie yourself to the stove and get working! 

Last run at the borscht.

As it turned out, we did not have popcorn for our late breakfast (thank heavens!).

Instead, we made pancakes with a bit of skrädmjöl, a flour made of roasted oats, in them. They were accompanied by homemade currant and cherry preserves, as well as some crispy bacon. Perfect breakfast for the day after the company christmas party (Darlica) and the birthday party of a friend (me)! 

Damn, that sounds good.

Just had a pecan puff. Love them. So much. They're at their best right after you roll them in the powdered sugar--if you eat one right then it comes apart perfectly.

Reheated Triangle Bean Curd Family Style (Chinese tofu with veg) again! I swear I order it just for the thrill of reheating it the next day!
