There is currently a potato in the bedroom that my 6yo daughter has named Dave. Until this moment Dave has been treated with lots of care and respect... but now I see that she's put a 99p sticker on Dave. I am so confused.

Sorry, Dave. I think your time in the spotlight will soon be up.

The_LynnyLyn,

@cloudguy I am so glad you linked to my earlier post. At first I was like, "That's a bit random..." 🤣🤣🤣 I see now! Love it. 🤗 There must be something in it. All these toys...and yet they are befriending root vegetables!

Drinking cider and black. This brings me back...

Remember snakebite! Remember when bars couldn't sell you snakebite anymore, so you'd have to buy all the constituent parts and then assemble it yourself at the bar. That really showed them.

I think that's where the idea for those DIY gin kits first started. If you really think about it.

I think perhaps I should ease off on the cider and black. If you really think about it.

The_LynnyLyn,

@nic Yes, that was the goal back then. I was at uni in early 00s. I was just telling my bro about drink the bar dry. It all seems a bit crazy now. I am quite glad that the younger generations are likely far more sensible (on the whole)!

The_LynnyLyn,

@nic That does sound quite appealing (I think). Definitely sounds like a cosy afternoon on this wet and windy day! 🥃🤗

The_LynnyLyn,

@nic Yes, it is a special one. Out of time, out of place.

I first knew the Sonic Youth version (a great version), but then I looked up the Carpenters' version at some point and came to love that one most of all. ❤️

The_LynnyLyn,

@nic I must admit that I don't think I have ever heard the original! I thought that Karen C's was the original, which speaks to what you are saying. I'll listen to it later, for completeness.

The_LynnyLyn,

@nic Yes, it does! Thank you for the info. That is interesting. 😃

Pineapple on pizza is, oddly enough, a Canadian tradition. Hawaiian Pizza was invented by Sam Panopoulos, an Ontarian restauranteur of Greek heritage, in the 1950s.

The_LynnyLyn,

@MeanwhileinCanada My favourite pizza. I knew there was a reason I was drawn to Canada. 😉

I'd like to say more about the "What no tomatoes?" talk, but I've only just woken up.

What I took away from it was: we all need to care about food sustainability; it should be a grass roots effort (don't wait for government to solve the problem!); the UK's reliance on food imports is rooted in an outdated system / view of the world; grow what you can, if you can (social inequalities acknowledged); source locally; be prepared to pay a fair price; eat seasonally.
