I've had 10, due my next in June. One was delayed a few months because I got Covid.
I was thinking it looks like it's just mowed the whole of Africa.
I go for the smaller ones. Party because I'm only feeding myself, but also the larger ones tend to be woody, so I believe – 'no bigger than a grapefruit' is the advice I've read.
That was the first time I'd seen them with the stalk on.
Raw or cooked (roasted). Celeriac remoulade is my favourite and a classic.
By 4pm? You have stamina.
I don't, sorry. The kitchen was installed by the previous owners. That's a glass splashback.
Plus the photo's not a very good representation of the colour: there's less blue in it. It's a very lovely green.
Oh, thank you! I love celeriac. And that was a very photogenic one.
Heh. I figured at the outset that that was just too obvious.
It's probably not helpful to observe that there's something to be said for enforced rest.
'Our polling is better than your polling' because ours is processed by experts overseas (says the main who takes pride in not taking expert advice). The arrogant twat.
Some at the Newtown vege market today. I bought a handful but haven't tried one yet.
Very! (Although it can't have been my mother's, I now realise: she would have been 23 when that edition was published. The aunt whose name is in the front was some years younger than her.)
This is the one I read as a child (and still have) - 1955 edn. Had been my mother’s and then my aunt’s. At one point my parents took it off me because I wouldn’t read anything else.
Have you tried the sweetcorn one though?
Hold with the left, peel with the right.
Like the couple sitting behind me at the cinema the other day, sniffing and snorting and coughing. As is my habit, I had an N95 with me.

Alive or dead?

'wretched' above the hand I think
I'm okay with young children riding bikes on footpaths, especially in busy inner-urban areas and given the less-than-ideal state of our cycleways (not to mention the standard of driving).
For which I, as a pedestrian, thank you.
Ouch! Mine's going up $12 (Meridian). One-person household, mind.
Was admiring the Marseille tiles amongst the ruins recently. I’ll miss it even in its dilapidated state.
I endorse 'embracing being mediocre' if it means doing one's best but not constantly comparing yourself with others, or others' expectations. Turning off that internal critic though is hard.
There was a massive queue down Lambton Quay yesterday morning. If I cared I'd feel sorry for them (there's been nothing cool about the cable car since they decommissioned the old cars in 1978).
I've never paid attention to the colours, but I'm amused to see that I got today's in reverse order – i.e. hard–easy.
