That is sound advice! Right up with “always check your neti pot for spiders” and “always close the toilet seat before brushing your teeth”

It’s pretty good. I lightly brown it in EVO with garlic salt and pepper before putting it on the pizza.

But it works great for things like burgers or tacos, meatballs and the like. Makes a pretty good Bolognese too!

Thank you, it came out pretty well.

The Impossible ground is pretty decent really, and works well for most recipes that call for animal meat. I have found it doesn't hold up very well in things like stews and soups unless you brown it first, remove it from the pan, make the stew and then add it back in at the end.

Yes, mushrooms and eggs are a timeless classic combo!

Yes! I like to think of Runes as a verb, and so Othala requires action on our part. So the environment we operate in is our ancestors, the food we eat, the home we live in, the spirits in all of it, and it is not that we live in that environment, we ARE that environment, both inside and out.

You are most welcome. There is the bit from The Velveteen Rabbit that I have remembered since childhood. It seems to become more relevant as I grow older...

I think perhaps because how few people actually prioritize it. Just like drinking enough water. Plus our modern life is way too hectic, filled with screens . I ease into sleep, turn lights down low, put on soothing music and become still. Then into bed, which is for sleeping.

Welcome to my world friend. It is one of the things about growing old that is most challenging...the longer you live the more people that you know and love will die. Absence does indeed make the heart grow fonder, and as you mention you get to a point where the smallest things can make you weepy.

Wow, that IS a great holly tree! We only have the smaller shrubby American version here, would love to meet such a tree!
