I happened to have the right hue in my palette (Indian Yellow) to paint the golden oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus citrinopileatus) that graced our pizza.

lunch
I rarely eat fish, but yesterday the salmon sounded good. Unfortunately it was a bit overcooked and tough 😩 So much for that splurge!
vegemitey
With all the sourdough bread I’ve been baking lately, I’ve realised how much I miss Vegemite. Yes, peanut butter is great, but sometimes I just want the salty bite of the Great Australian Spread. So I made the detour to World Market the other day to pick up a jar (they only have little ones, unfortunately).
Here’s the iconic 1950s TV ad. And here’s the remake from two years ago, featuring the same actress who played the baton-twirling little girl in the original version. Yeah, we love our Vegemite.

When people ask me what’s my favourite thing to cook, I say “Dinner.” 😋

Family holiday gathering here tomorrow means meal prep today.
before Amy
I went back to Malibu to hear Amy Tan talk about The Backyard Bird Chronicles. Before the event, I took myself out to dinner. Instead of ordering the cheapest glass of wine on the menu, I spent the extra $3 and got the most expensive. Self-care 😊.
black lentils
I like the generic Whole Foods packaging for their black lentils, with the peekaboo window showing the product. I also like the price; I haven’t found better, locally or online (not sponsored!) Tonight’s dinner: Umami Mushroom and Lentil Stew. Mm-mmm.
chili
We jumped to our next lilypad this afternoon, in the middle of a doozy of a storm. Now we’re snug and warm, and dinner is simmering, and we’re grateful to good friends who let us stay in their homes.
