When I was little, conversations about Easter eggs tended to happen in our house around August. They tended to start with the mother demanding whether I was ever going to get round to eating them, or whether she should throw them out[*]. As a result, the parents habitually give me a present at Easter rather than an actual egg. It is, of course,

I confess to being both curious and doubtful about sparkling sake, too. I've not only never tried any, I wasn't even aware it existed untli this post, so you have added to my knowledge of that. And cadmium and calcium and chromium and curium.

One stripey kudo to you, sir.

I have indeed been not here. But am enjoying the earworm.

I hear you on the vegetably food - more food should have more veg!

Anyone not familiar with Tom Lehrer? Your choc eggs always came from the Godmother, I think this year's from us was a first and, as you say, we won it in a raffle.

That sounds a lot like my favourite approach to food; heavy on the veg, with integrating flavours/starchy staple/meat added as seems suitable. I've been trying out more Vietnamese food recently as seeming to fit well with this approach, but I do know what you mean about the trouble with so many ingredients. I have found that the more I make this chicken satay recipe though, the quicker and quicker I find I get at it, to the point where I find myself scanning up and down the list thinking I must have missed something out to be done that quickly.

(Though right now I'm going home to cook a big dish of cheese and bacon pasta myself. Cold, tired and fed up of being made to drive in rush hour traffic = carbonara o'clock.)

Looks very edible; also I like red rice in dishes. I've never tried Itsu, it sounds like I should.

Fancy lunch, then? There's one just around the corner :)

[lathany]

That sounds like a plan!

That looks massively tasty.
