I've read on the internet we don't "need" to salt modern species of eggplant but I still absolutely do, do you?

I often think of the reaction of the first person who threw away their old kernels into the fire to dispose of them.

Interesting look at the social, economical, and environmental factors affecting the "decline" of the baguette.

"86% of French people admit to eating industrial, sliced white supermarket bread."

"...We had gone back & forth all night on the ferry;
And you ate an apple, & I ate a pear,
From a dozen of each we had bought somewhere;
And the sky went wan, & the wind came cold,
And the sun rose dripping, a bucketful of gold."

-Edna St Vincent Millay,"Recuerdo" #poem poets.org/poem/recuerdo

"no flower ever opened
so staunch a white leaf,
no flower ever parted silver
from such rare silver;

O white pear,
your flower-tufts,
thick on the branch,
bring summer and ripe fruits
in their purple hearts."

-H.D. (Hilda Doolittle 1886-1961), from "Pear Tree"

Do cocktails qualify as food?
#foodonfriday #foodsky #cooksky 🍜
two glasses of cocktails, different but both are orange-y red. The one in the foreground has bubbles and floating petals. the one in the background has lots of ice and a rim of something green, could be elderflower. In the background a menu. The colours are reminiscent of drinks by the fire even though the setting is a restaurant

Super cool when my daughter sends me pics of her baking recipes from my site, especially, as in this case, of her Nanna's recipe 😭😄
This is a take on traditional date & walnut loaf - she used dried apricot, pear & apple. Very versatile.
