    Pat, hope you find a non-drug treatment for your anxiety.  OH has panic attacks and would be glad of some relief.

    Roast belly pork... not tried it either.  Sounds good though...  image

    According to my research before ordering my supplements, you have to have Bioprene in the mix to aid absorption of the curcuma, or you could eat 1.5 tsp of it in a curry spices every day.  I don't want curry every day so opted for the tablets.   In Paris, Possum experimented with a Golden Latte in Prêt-à-Manger.  Turned out to be a hot, frothy milk drink with turmeric and maybe a bit of cumin.   Odd.  I'll stick to the daily supplements and weekly curries.

    Busy, if you roast your slab of belly pork long and slow the fat renders out leaving the meat deliciously moist and tasty or else buy it sliced and grill or BBQ till the fatty parts are golden brown and crispy.   Yum.

    Hope your return to work went OK Hosta.  Long time till your next hols I expect.   Polytunnels OK now?

    Cosmos kitty has yet another dodgy pad on a rear paw now so we're taking him to see the senior vet on Tuesday.

    OH has decided he fancies Xmas pud tonight.  It's Chandeleur here so he should be craving pancakes.  It's an old pagan festivity to mark the half way point between winter solstice and spring equinox but a 5th century pope adopted it as the date of presentation of Christ to the temple...............

    Morning all.

    What a funny coincidence we had slow roasted pork belly last night (with Yorkshire puddings as it was - I'm told - Yorkshire Pudding Day.)

    We have dry roads, no rain or snow, although I haven't been out so I have no idea of temperature.  Kettle has boiled, so back to bed with a coffee for me.

     Good morning all.

    We had Roasted pork belly on the boat in Norway. Very well roasted so all the fat was out, with the crackling well crackled on the top.  I guess that like a lot of people, I was put off by sweet n sour pork, made using belly pork, that ended up with a mouth of rubbery fat. I only use pork fillet to make sweet and sour. The thought of  a mouthful of chewy fat makes my stomach heave. image

    Hi all.

    Snowing and bitterly cold here.

    Very poor nights sleep again, but I have nothing needs doing until outpatient appointment this afternoon.
