As it happens, I was thinking of a crab or fish terrine for OH and me for NY. Possum won't go near them. Gazpacho is a good idea too but I'll have forgotten we found the bottle by the time I have ripe toms and peppers and cucs to make one........ Not a winter dish!

Yes, excellent news from Alabama. Interesting that 92% of the black vote was Democrat... hope that doesn't end up fuelling racial discontent.
Re presumed consent: I think doctors should not have to ask permission of relatives where the deceased person has made the decision to donate their organs. It's their own body and they've the right to make that decision themselves. And how many of those who "don't like the idea" of their organs - or those of their relatives - being used to help others, would accept a donated organ if they were in need of one? I'd go with presumed consent, with an opt-out clause. But those who opt out are then not eligible for an organ if they need one... tough but fair.
2nd corticosteroid injection in knuckle yesterday has resulted in lots of unexpected swelling and pain in the "trigger finger". Unexpected because the first injection (which didn't work) was painful at the time, but soon wore off; maybe he used more "stuff" this time... you could say there was an improvement, since the finger isn't locking - but that's because it can't bend at all at the moment... Making food to take with us tomorrow is interesting, involving me doing what I can, then calling on OH to stagger into the kitchen and chop things up for me.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
That doesn't sound too good Liri. Hope it clears up soon. I think your ideas on organ opt outs are very fair.
Dove - I love fish with Pernod sauce. Haven't done it for ages tho as it's creamy and these days we tend to go for Spanish garlick/tomato/peppers with hake. It would be lovely with Maigre - our new favourite fish. Hoping to find some razor clams at the fish market next Wednesday so maybe an experiment is called for. OH won't know any different cos I haven't cooked them before.

.. if you've not cooked them before, don't forget to remove the tough rubbery 'foot’ of the clam and cut out the central dark intestinal tract, leaving only the firm white clam meat and of course, don't overcook.

We have deemed consent, with opt-out, here in Wales already. Unfortunately, we haven't seen a big increase in donor organs yet, and this is often because families object - which is currently allowed. The latest information and promotion is all about people making their wishes known to next of kin, as this may avoid the situation of loved ones not consenting.
This is a very emotive subject, but so is facing a life-limiting illness where you may need a transplant. Should organs only be available to those who are on the Organ Donation Register? Do people realise that you can only donate organs in very specific circumstances yet most people can donate tissues (heart valves, corneas, etc.) after any mode of death? Is it fair that families can over-rule a person's decision to be a donor (or is that right if it is too distressing for them?)?
It wouldn't be appropriate for me to share my own views and experience, because of the job I do - but it is vital (pun intended!) that we talk about this with our loved ones.

Oberlix , Pernod sauce sounds fab
O/H now does mussels etc in tomatoes ?/ garlic onions & peppers , rather than white wine creamy sauces as they are better calorie wise for us
Only ever had razor clams in restaurants , they where fine

I wonder if those going against the wishes of the deceased are so keen to refuse an inheritance from them?
Evening all.
Seriously craving a proper Chinese takeaway blow out.
Alas there's no chance of that. Probably a good thing!
No sign of the new boss, I hope they've not gone underground already!
