It's heartier than a veggie salad, but I found a Lidia Bastianich recipe for a fennel salad once. IIRC, it was mostly thin sliced fennel, celery, maybe red onion, along with some matchsticked cheese and salami. I believe it has a lemon vinaigrette dressing. Maybe it's a faded memory, but I remember thinking it was delicious. I haven't made it since, but made need to Google it soon.

I did roast pork last night with crackling. That bit in the middle didn't get as crunchy as I wanted, I think I may have cut through to the meat when I was scoring it and a bit of juice got onto the crackling while it cooked. Served it with some greens and roast vegetables which sat under the pork and got all the juice.

How are your biscuits? I'm, at best, the novice-est of novice bakers, and have tried making them twice during the lockdown. Both times flatter and denser than they should be. I think I may be over-working the dough.

My spouse makes the biscuits, and she has a recipe that is much simpler than most in part because it uses oil instead of shortening/butter. In any event, they are delicious 
Since a long bout of heavy-duty antibiotics earlier this summer, coffee just doesn't taste right/good anymore
And neither does milk (These are known side-effects of antibiotics longer term)
