A couple of weeks ago I bought a pack of Lunds and Byerlys Pancake mix. I couldn't help it, it was on offer. Quite frankly, if they offered me a lemon-iced squid with arugula tabbouleh, I would probably be tempted. (n.b arugula apparently is a type of lettuce, not a contemporary of Julius Caesar. Or possibly, it's the brother of Chipotle).
And to this one has to add: 1 egg, milk, butter.
And then it tasted like crap. Sorry, but it did. It was truly nasty. 0g Trans Fat though, as if that makes a difference ("trans fat" is very almost an anagram of "naff taste").
Next Monday they will be doing an aerial bombardment of the local Gypsy Moth population. Although not dangerous to humans, they have said we need to stay indoors with the windows shut, then to wash down the outside area afterwards. Now, bit of a contentious issue this, but I'm not sure that our host country has had that much success historically with aerial chemicals. I've asked bridgjo if we can be away that week-end....
Two ducks have moved in. In spite of there being a pond across the road, they like nothing better than to steal the squirrels' sweet-corn, and to squabble over the tiny bird-bath. It's quite amusing to see them both perched in there at the same time, quacking contentedly like an old married couple sitting in their car at Morcambe and watching the sea.
