I'd like to learn how to handcraft kiwifruit, although that's probably more difficult, finding the ingredients and getting that center design just right!

Might I suggest that you practice on some Chinese Gooseberries, so by the time you get to the Kiwifruit, you'll be an expert

Stick to mangoes.... I have to help my dad when I buy mangoes else he will likely cut himself or make a terrible mess. Quite simply, I cut the two "slabs" and score them. Then hand them over with a spoon and he takes care of the rest. Safer for all.

Dinner at Alice's Berkeley Diner last night. Pleasant, very good but not excellent.

Emergency aperitivo for 4.


A shared assortment of starters

The little lamb shouldn't have tried to follow Mary to school, as she was roasted and sliced. Accompanied by a pleasant Cahors.

What could be bad about this figgy dessert with some rose champagne? Nothing, really

Lamb dumplings in a laksa broth.... overcooked a bit as I was distracted, but still tasty. Unfortunately I can't leave them for tomorrow's lunch as they'll likely fall apart sitting in there.

I would take them out of the broth and refrigerate, then in the morning scramble them with a couple of eggs and make a breakfast burrito. Maybe add some seasoning sauce or salsa. My go-to for many leftovers.

That's an idea. I just left them.... the skins give quite a bit of starch so it kinda became a thickish meatball soup in a laksa base. Not the worse thing to have for breakfast. Toss in some ramen and there's a meal there for you.

Some.little lamb chops marinated all day in a curry/cumin/garlic yogurt, broiled, along with a salad of arugula, mint, marinated onions and feta in a red wine vinegar, zhug, and hummus dressing, with some Madras papads. It's what's for dinner!
