Marmite is not a good addition to porridge. I craved something more intense than just a pinch of salt. Marmite was the craving for taste ( not something I often want, the saying here goes that things are 'marmite' you either love or hate them, but I am on fence with marmite) but porridge was the want for dietary stability. I tried, but no.

Marmite does have that sort of deep savoury appeal, like soy sauce, or Parmesan. The fifth taste. Every now and then I get a craving for it and I wonder if its a want for b vitamins or salt. Its funny to crave something you don't adore.

I'm a big fan of Umami, that fifth taste. But Marmite is not a good addition to anything necessary for life. To get your Umami next time, I suggest a slice of good pizza. Tomatoes and cheese are very high in Umami.

Well, it took some effort and I didn't get to prep anything in advance because yesterday was no good. I'm finally finished though. I prepared ingredients for making hand rolled sushi along with miso soup and roasted shiitake. A little vinegared cucumber and an appitzer of olives, fresh mozzarella and roasted red peppers to go with drinks. Big smiles! Yosh!

We ate meat all last weekend ( we got through a pound of beef between us over four days) and I am still craving marmite. Maybe its a b vitamin thing, though I take a vitamin daily. My gums are a better colour though, they were a bit pale.

Anyway, this morning I had a piece of toast with marmite and peanut butter. Yesterday I had a teaspoon peanut butter in my porridge. Today the raspberry canes are dripping with fruit but I don't fancy the sweetness, so I picked the over ripe ones and made the dogs perform tricks for them, and later or tomorrow I'll freeze the rest, unless G wants to eat them.

I have cake devouring friends coming at the weekend so I must soon decide what to bake, they are plums, blackberries, the raspberries, and some strawberries still to use in creations, but I also know simple brownies would go down very well. One is not so keen on fruit.

Take some of your more ripe fruit, express the juice and put it in the cake. Chocolate Raspberry cake? Yum yum! Does the fruit conscious one mind the flavour, or just the flesh of fruit?

That's a great idea! Chocolate raspberry cake! I know she likes red berries. She's eaten plum streusel cakes here but definitely prefers the sweeter less 'pretend healthy' options. So chocolate is milk, not dark, so on. . I love her very much, so I don't mind.

Pic!
Of the cake, of course, not your friend

My friend looks a bit like the green ( wo)man or a slightly scary pixie. She is an incredible person of the trees. She likes cats, and all animals. Wild animals come out of the woods to her to make home at her house. She has at times asked me to offer home ( in the wild) to owls and foxes as pets, ( I said yes to the owl but no to the foxes, its really fun to play with the foxes at her house though, ). One only remembers she is not magical by the smell of her commercial cigarettes, . When she goes on holidays she wears ALL her clothes, so she can take an almost empty suitcase so she can bring back 'treasures' and she calls holidays 'adventures'. Some times she calls me and says, I need a short adventure, I'll be at your house in two hours, and she comes and we drive in a direction she has never been before, her dogs and mine in the back of her van. The adventures have seen us find an alter ( now in my kitchen) or sneak on to a private beach, or go shopping where she tells all the shop keepers they are robbers and she could make and sell the stuff for a quarter of the price and make 100 percent profit) She is the kind of person children's books are written about. She has little of her own yet wants to share everything she has. I love her so much and feel so honoured to be her friend, even if she probably views me as a lost hedgehog or some such .

Hence me feeling tender hearted about the cakes.and yes, I will take a picture. Its all I'll get of it, she'll squirrel any cake not eaten with tea at the table home to feed herself and any people she knows who have few people in their lives.

Ooooohhhh! I love her already!

Shepherd's Pie for dinner. Subbing ground turkey for the meat and hoping the junior food critic doesn't notice.

I suspect you are quite good at... "subbing"

We now, in the last few years, have developed a tradition of making a big shepherds pie shortly after Thanksgiving by using all the little biuts and pieces of leftover meat that are otherwise too small for use in a sandwich. Quite delicious.
