5th cup of coffee of day. No food yet (is that bad?).

For dinner, I'm going to have some salmon that I cured (wrapped in wilted cabbage and dipped in sesame seeds and then drizzled with soy). Mmmmmmmmmm. I'm going to go home soon.

I find it odd that I can't stand eating food that doesn't taste good, but I'll drink all kinds of foul coffee.

A bowl of crunchy nut cornflakes. Its midnight.

It occurs to me that it might be possible to survive on good coffee, toasted bacon sandwiches with HP sauce and the odd bowl of crunchy nut cornflakes. You might even lose some weight. Maybe I should write a diet book.

We get blackberry honey, and buckwheat honey (love it) and blueberry honey at the farmer's market here.  I may suggest rosemary honey to the keepers.  It must have an amazing aroma.
Another buckwheat honey lover! Isn't it terrific?? I get mine at the farmers' market, too, as well as olallieberry honey. And yes, the rosemary honey's aroma is really quite ethereal . . .
The pasta was good but, something was missing...fresh herbs perhaps?  Some basil might have perked things up.  The lemon zest was a good choice.  It would have been bland and unctuous without it.
Ah, so you needed a bit more oomph in the pasta. I think fresh basil along with the lemon zest would've been great -- there's not much out there that basil doesn't liven up. Speaking of basil, the season's starting to kick in here; I came home from the farmers' market today with two large, fragrant bunches clutched in my hot little hand! :biggrin:

A barely edible "bran" muffin and Lipton tea (2 bags) from our staff caf. Not exactly what I want right now, but after last night's martinis....whoo, baby, it's just fine!

Sigh...and I was just reading the wonderful report that FG and Ellen S. did on Bobolink Farms. Yum.

Iced green tea with mint again.

A thick slice of Acme ciabatta bread topped with Cypress Grove's Humboldt Fog cheese.

The same this afternoon, with some well-chilled cherries (it's bloody cooking here today) for after. Oh, and a big glass of iced tea a la Jinmyo -- green tea with fresh mint.

Uncharacteristically, nothing. It's too bloody hot* . . .

Maybe some iced cherries later if I can muster up the energy to go to the kitchen and open the fridge.
