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 dog’s joyfulness, our own is increased. It is no small gift"

It says "Tour Narrators: Inmates" - do you hear recordings from the inmates themselves?

I thought the cakes also looked like the cakes you made, though I think yours are more detailed!

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ 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 I’ve eaten it now."

Colour lithograph on paper of a tranquil setting. Illustration of orchard trees surrounding a grassy clearing, at centre left, two children play with a dog, there's a pond beneath them and to the left a woman in long skirts carries what looks to be washing. The colours are greens and beiges

"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"

"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?"

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ 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.

overhead view of a white bowl in which is a Thai green chicken curry. A spoon at the right dives into the curry. Visible is the curry sauce, some rice on which is heaped a mix of chicken thighs, snow peas, baby eggplant, and crispy fried Asian shallots

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

Bit of prep, but I prefer to think of it as mindfulness 🧘 πŸ˜‰

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

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?
