So much light pollution where I live, so it’s rare that the sky hops out at you like tonight.

It’s a really accessible museum with everything packed into the one building. So you can admire giant deer antlers in one room and radioactive substances in the next. The glory of the gardens is the Tropical Ravine — surreal in any season. Go!

Thank you! I did quite enjoy writing that midge bit. Insects rock!

I lasted ten minutes. The green Fenians milling around as if they were Punch caricatures did it for me.

Yes! Essential equipment now. You can’t duplicate that rice texture and flavour with simple pots and pans.

Oh, the kernels are very pretty! It’s good we had a warm summer — so the Mexican corn felt at home.

Ok! This is all good info.

We have yoghurt and berries at the ready.

Nooooo. I have nightmares about carob being used as chocolate substitute when I was living in Minnesota as a wannabe hippie teenager.

Do you know what variety the sweetcorn is? It looks delicious. There’s nothing to compare with it!

Thank you! I’ve made them already — recipe looked similar to yours, but smaller quantities in case we hate them 😆
September 20, 2025 at 6:34 PM
Oh lord! Yes. That sounds familiar. Probably had them with carob milk 😕
