Morning all - lashing rain at the moment, but the sun is out!!
5.7 this morning, down from 7.7 at 05.22.
Lunch went down well yesterday. Everyone seemed to enjoy it. Have some veggies and rice left over and some roast pork from Sunday, so not cooking today, will cobble together something from the leftovers. But... I have a lot of red peppers and tomatoes so I will make the roast red pepper and tomato soup for lunches.
Talking of Corned Beef reminds me of my first visit to New York (way back at the start of my flying career in 1970). The crew used to go to a Deli round the corner from the Lexington hotel to get sandwiches. I went along and was absolutely stunned by the list of sandwiches (some things I had never ever heard of). I settled for a familiar item, a Corned Beef sandwich at which point the guy behind the counter rattled off a series of questions - what bread did I want? OMG, I never knew there were so many kinds... did I want butter, margarine or mayo... etc etc and clearly I had to make quick decisions as he wasn't used to silly English girls who couldn't make their minds up. Eventually I was handed this gargantuan sandwich bursting with beef, completely unlike the 2 slices of mother's pride with a thin slice of tinned meat that I'd been brought up with. I took one look and said "That's not like English Corned beef!" It wasn't, what they call "corned beef" is actually salt beef. Brisket cured with salt, it's bright pink and more like roast beef than our minced stuff out of a can. The guy looked at me and said (in a thick New Yoik accent) "You're in New Yoik now Lady!". I left somewhat chastened.
Sauerkraut and cucumber? OMG @ColinUK !!!
Enjoy your day out @Elenka
Congrats on another HS @eggyg
