Gorgeous meal
π Wow duck stock. The dish looks and sounds deeply rich. Beautiful meal.

Sweet Pea, all your dogs, truly were at home with Goodport. You were there when they needed you in life & in death. So moved to read how Sweet Pea cared for all of you, too. Yr beautiful tribute reminded me of Mary Oliver: "Because of the dogβs joyfulness, our own is increased. It is no small gift"
LOL I saw one of these on instagram, now I definitely don't want a cat π

Being older definitely would see it from a different perspective.

It says "Tour Narrators: Inmates" - do you hear recordings from the inmates themselves?
He sounds so melodic and lovely. I think bird calls are so restorative.

Saw the movie "War Machine" last night and needed chocolate cupcakes stat. Still not sure why aliens would send only one robot π€ π€π½

I thought the cakes also looked like the cakes you made, though I think yours are more detailed!
Saw this and immediately thought of your pupcakes!

πππ You are so right!
Makes up for it with the next stanza:
"Why was not my peach round and finished like a billiard ball?
It would have been if man had made it.
Though Iβve eaten it now."

"Shadows that sleep upon the shaven sod-
The thud of dropping apples.Reach on reach
Stretch plots of perfumed orchard where the bees
Murmur among the full-fringed golden-rod
Or cling half-drunken to the rotting peach"
Among the Orchards

Women Picking Olives (1889) by Vincent Van Gogh. Original from the MET Museum. Digitally enhanced by rawpixel. Source:https://www.rawpixel.com/image/537410/free-illustration-image-van-gogh-vincent Three women amongst orchard trees, one on a ladder, they have long skirts, two have baskets. The olive trees are gnarled, the colours are muted with a pinkish sky and grey-grey leaves
"Along the hills the olives grow,
And almonds bloom in early Spring,
And many are the streams that flow,
And countless are the birds that sing;
The air is cool with distant snow,
And musical with bells that ring"
"Dawn Among the Olive Groves"

"Why so velvety, why so voluptuous heavy?
Why hanging with such inordinate weight?
Why so indented?
Why the groove?
Why the lovely, bivalve roundnesses?
Why the ripple down the sphere?
Why the suggestion of incision?"

Stunning, as usual! Love the pattern of the icing
It is beautiful!
Depends which hemisphere you live in
ππ I love it and I love that it's this little tin but contains so much! But yes, I need to keep it to half for those that like heat but no fire
It really was! It had that whole authentic multi-level of flavours going on. I use Maesri paste which I agree tastes best, but it packs a punch, more so than the others there. Depending how you like it, I'd consider starting with half the paste, or have extra coconut milk on hand at the other end
100% I like her stuff a lot. If I google a couple of ingredients, guaranteed something will come up on recipetineats. And I like she has the charity feeding the vulnerable too. I use the Maesri paste which packs a punch though, I start with half the recommended and work my way up.

10/10 Best recipe I've found for making Thai green curry using a quality store-bought curry paste.π

Bit of prep, but I prefer to think of it as mindfulness π§ π

Flowers and Vegetables (ca. 1800) byAnton Carl Rahn. Original from The Cleveland Museum of Art. Digitally enhanced by rawpixel. Image in the public domain. https://www.rawpixel.com/image/2440073/free-illustration-image-flowers-vegetable-poster A gloriously detailed botnical drawing featuring at the top taking up half the frame, many different variously coloured flowers growing from a stone urn. Just below that on a ledge, various vegetables including cabbages, tomato and cauliflower. And below that a written ledger of all the elements drawn
The life we'd like to live, hey.

overhead view of three dessert dishes on a wooden table, some cutlery, a candle and glass. There's some kind of tart on a white dish, maybe a mouse and cream in a rounded lass, and on a rectangular plate what looks to be lychees and mangos, maybe coconut icecream and pandan panna cotta but I'm not sure
Problem with taking lots of photos and forgetting about them till months or years later is forgetting what the photos were of. Fruit tart? Chocolate mousse? Mango and lychee with coconut ice cream and pandan panna cotta?
Sharing desserts: Y/N?
