It's Taco Tuesday and I've been listening to Freddie Fender and eating tacos and drinking beer for about an hour.

I had pork chops and green beans and mashed potatoes and gravy. No whiskey in the mashed potatoes, just butter, salt and a splash of cream. While the meat was resting I threw some butter in the skillet, shook up flour and water in the "gravy jar", added a few blotches of liquid beef Bovril, salt and pepper, dash of wine, and scraped all the goodies off the bottom of the pan. Bonus, I have leftover gravy and potatoes.

Burgers (bacon cheese with dill pickles and arugula)- the meat came all the way from Australia! Exotic.

Re: Teatime Choices
rhubarb fool for pud tonight with rhubarb from the ‘garden’. Delish.
strawberry and rhubarb pie is a Canadian thing I am totally on board with, but the rhubarb will need to grow a bit more... just need to get within conversation distance of those horse owning neighbours later in the year

I had finnan haddie with onions and peas on pumpernickel toast; thought about seconds but decided to put it in the fridge for now. It can always be microwaved later for a treat.

Bring the fish to a boil and simmer for 10 - 12 min then drain. Add butter, thin sliced onions and cooked peas and flake the fish. You can either make a roux in the pan or add the milk/cream first and mix a spoon of flour in a few oz of milk then add that to thicken it. It's one of the "feel good" dishes from my childhood. The other recipes from Grandma's kitchen are all German or Russian or Ukrainian so I don't know who taught them finnan haddie... maybe there was a Scottish neighbour.
