Well, just to say the creamy salmon pasta won the day
It was a light lunch with some beautiful New Zealand wine was to die for.
All the better shared with an old friend.
Magic.

sounds nice, apart from the NZ wine. never fancied it myself

I had a chicken burrito for lunch.

My Accountant is visiting this morning and doing my tax return. I might just then figure out if all my investments are working as they should and that I can give up the notion of having to return to work after enjoying my gap year that has stretched to two now

Hey seremtan, yea, never really got into NZ wine but compared to some of the cheap ones I drink, it is very nice. So much so I am considering it is a once in a while drop or for those special occasions.

Whiskey, are you mentally fit enough to operate one of those newfangled smartphone devices them youngsters have these days?

If so, install the app "Vivino". It allows you to take a picture of a bottle of wine and it'll tell you what wine it is, where it's from, a rating, user reviews, dish recommendations, comparable wines, a price indication, shops near you that sell it and more. Really neat and good looking app.

Vivino is nice
It allows a lover of good wines that is unhindered by actual knowledge about the subject like myself to see what real winesnobs think of what i'm about to drink.

Noticed that the price indications can be really far off though, a result of people ordering wine in restaurants i think.

I still wonder if I am mentally fit for a smartphone Eraser Did think I'd start in the lower grades and get a tablet (Samsung Tab3 10.1"). I figure I am getting there soon enough.

My Accountant visit turned out OK because all the tax I did pay last financial year I will get back. I recon my gap year continues

Today and shortly we are christening a new BBQ at lunch. Not a big affair just the normal steak, sausages. salad and buns with your favourite beverage. Being lunch an icy beer is about to start calling me.

Tablet.... Phone.... They just differ in size. And the app works on both.

I am not that old. I knew that much

/ Fires up tablet and looks for 'Vivino' and finds no problem so thanks Eraser.

Finally connected up my Samsung tablet to my Samsung Smart TV via a little adapter lead and it works. I have linked the two before via wireless on the home network but this 'mirroring' where I see the tablet screen on the TV seems neat

if you had to be screened as mentally fit to use a phone, Apple and Samsung would go out of business...

I got the gold fever yesterday, twas a nice find!!
Just a tad chillier then my place in Namibia by about oh maybe 40 Celcius.
Thunder Bay tommorow for a break.

Err. I am cooking dinner. Pasta with a white wine and pumpkin sauce garnished with basil and crispy bacon (bits & rashers) with a dollop of cream. All this served with hot butter bread (mini) rolls

To die for.

A white wine as an accompaniment

that's awesome dude, can't wait for the pictures.

that's a shit-ton of saturates :/

Maybe, but is a once in a while meal.
Photos? Oh yes, people these days take pictures of what they are about to eat and I find that very strange.

pictures or you went hungry

Hey Tsakali, that dinner has come and gone so no photographs are available but I have scanned the recipe and dropped it here for your pleasure.

I hope you and others 'give it a go' and yes, I appreciate you can/may/will make substitutions but please report back as to those variations so we may also enjoy

Thoughts to you.

The other day I went to the funeral of an old work mate and he wasn't that old. I spoke to people I hadn't see for years. Nice service as they go.
