Monday, January 8th, 2024 09:19 pmOh dear, oh dear. Pretty sure Lindsey Davis is going to do a Cadfael with her first Flavia Albia book. The prepossessing young man Albia is taken with will be the baddie and the loutish runner first seen shoving her out of his way will be the intelligent life mate. I hope she reverses this but I have little hope.
Grey and dank but I went to my tony Korean restaurant for an early birthday lunch because tomorrow is supposed to be non-stop rain with a side serving of snow. Then went to the super and bought a slice of Gâteau St-Honoré. Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of Christmas (one counts from the 26th, of course) on which we cease to be tiddly on crême liqueurs and start rationing the starch. I will say that I had difficulty finishing my bento box, which is not usual, and was quite satisfied with one glass of wine, ditto, so my stomach may be shrinking after all. Also Blawblaws sells a juice concoction of apples, oranges, spinach, kale, and celery, which I can just about stand, so I have a way of getting my greens: though Korean bento contains quite a lot of veg as well, much more than Japanese ones. Not to mention the complimentary side dishes of bean sprouts, cucumber, peanuts and fish paste? loaf? whatever.
