Wasn't trying to start a discussion of chicken ethics here, really. Just talking about doing something very different than my usual day, which is spent in front of a computer.

In my glass: a wee dram of Glenmorangie.

like this?


I am attracted by the facets of chicken ethics. I will study it in depth once I am through with sausage ontology. Is it in their nature to be smoked?

Sorry to hear that you guys had such a difficult day. Keep in mind that when things are bad, they can get better. On the other hand, keep in mind that 1/7 of your life will be spent on Mondays....

I'm going to drink a mango lassi!

or worst.
Here it is All Souls, National holiday and there is a bright sun, mild temperature, no wind and general good mood if not excellent. My radio controlled watch finally got it right, all by itself.

Just bought 67 euros of house plants. Spatiphillum, spider, mother in law tongue (one large one small), red leafed begonia, Marantha.

My supermarket finally sells 100% rye bread, German. I am not a pauper anymore. It made a fantastic lunch with raw dinosaur kale and Alaska lox. Bio products are becoming more available in this part of the world. Now we have eggs and red chicory.

Btw, yesterday I collected the last tomatoes, mostly green, and after few intermediate passages, I got two pots of catsup. Delicious. And the good news is that the girls do not like it, so it will be all mine. All.

In any case I had the winter tyres mounted Friday.

I just spent 10min on the Internet googling:
Spatiphillum
spider
mother in law tongue (one large one small)
red leafed begonia
Marantha
raw dinosaur kale
red chicory





The cup is clean and empty, waiting for lunch time.

Spider plant is one of my most favorites, but it doesn't grow very well here. For some reason it doesn't want to make baby plants! I used to have huge hanging pots of it in every window when I lived in the US. And although it is sold in the garden centers here, it just never looks very healthy. I remember plans that NASA has for using it as part of the air filtration process in the space station, but I don't know if they ever did that.

Of all surprises, the 100 Yen food shop is now selling good quality rye flour! I bought a bag the other day and will try my hand at "Jewish" Rye bread, complete with caraway seeds!

It's late enough now so I think I'll see the end of Halloween with a glass of tequila, then go to bed!

Is there anything you don't remember/know?

Yeah, I know. I know.
I am weirdo.
Besides that I have no clue what "Jewish" Rye bread is, the sight, let alone smell of caraway seeds make me cringe in horror and run to the remotest corner of the house.



Branch, cuppa #5, Rooibos.

Gosh! A whole lot! But that's getting smaller every day! As a child I read through the Encyclopedia from A-Z twice.... It grew from there.

A bit sweeter, and not as dark as "German" rye bread. German rye usually has unsweetened coccoa powder in the mix, while "Jewish" rye does not. Also, "Jewish" rye bread is made with honey rather than sugar, and usually includes the caraway seeds.

the sight, let alone smell of caraway seeds make me cringe in horror and run to the remotest corner of the house.

You shouldn't post information like that in public forums. Your enemies might trap you one day and force you to reveal 'the secrete' or face the dreaded "Caraway Seed Torture!"

I'm still nursing my glass of tequila.

Spatiphillum. I had them going and reproducing for ages. This one was picked up by Littlegirl, this morning.

Spider. I had them going from a single cutting since 20 years. But then ...

New entry. Let's see.

Amaranth, sorry for the wrong spelling. Substitutes the house protector that gave up on us after a long life of serving faithfully. They have their own path.

small mother in law tongue. Let's try it there

largish mother in law tongue, long tradition.

pink tradescantia (only 4 euro), long tradition. Had to be renewed.

red begonia (new entry)

dinosaur kale

red chicory
