Not mine. Recipe given to me by a friend from Texas. I've tried it on Belgians, Brits and assorted other nationalities and it always goes down well. Just wait till I try it on the French. They'll probably think it's sacrilegious.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Bleedin plastic. I went to buy soup for my sick wife today, 6 tins for £4 on offer or 6 tins for £3 if you buy a multi-pack wrapped in plastic. Where's the logic? I bought the plastic wrapped tins and when I unwrapped them I found 3 were badly dented. That will teach me I suppose.
Then I got home to find my book from America had arrived while I was out. It's a magazine sized hardback but came in a cardboard package wrapped in a US Postal service plastic bag. I say bag, this thing is a heavy duty woven plastic sack that would be big enough for 2 people to use as a sleeping bag. Cabled tied shut with a velcro fastner at the top as well. Do you think they're sending all their post like this? the cardboard inside was still a bit damp too.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
Re your book , w,edges, I ordered a sign for my side gate. It's just a thin vinyl disc about the size of my palm. It came wrapped in plastic film over corrugated cardboard, and then inside another box which was concertina-d down to the size of an A4 book, and opened out to be the size of a shoebox. It would have gone in an average envelope, or just some wrapping paper [recycleable] over the card it was already in. Ludicrous. I once received a pair of boot insoles in a box the size of those bread baskets they use in bakeries.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I love getting my post in large cardboard boxes, all the more for the compost heap. those sacks disintegrate after a year or so I wouldn’t grow anything permanent in them, ok for putting weekly rubbish out. Ok so it disintegrates in the landfill, there’s nothing we can do about that.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
We had some garden rubber trug things from Big river company. They came separately in huge boxes with paper in. Not all bad, as Lyn mentioned, compostables.
Apparently customers had complained they could not get the trugs apart. It is not rocket science to get them apart, nor to have packaged them with a layer of the brown packing paper in between. I curmudgeonly feel both company and complainers share blame. All you have to do is hold the top one by the handles and jiggle, (albeit a lot) they do separate. It is good exercise
I've wrestled with a few trugs over the years. Shove your hand down the side to break the suction and lubricate them up a bit and they come apart fairly easily. It's amazing how well they can stick together though.

Fed up. Thought foot was getting better, not too bad yesterday but very painful again this afternoon . Only 1 blackbird in garden for the big count. At least tooth not hurting *touches wood*. I know in the great scheme of things it's not much, but still
