Accidentally made gumbo of the later Discworld novels kind, by getting into a cycle of re-using leftovers of a sequence of previous sauces to make newer and newer iterations. Tasted awesome. I think they do this sort of thing on purpose in some Indian places with their ever-bubbling cauldrons, but I may just be believing an urban myth.
Talking of which, I can not believe what the students feed themselves with in the lab. And I don't mean actual junkfood here - it takes a while for that to kill one, so some here or there - go for it. It's just that all they seem to eat are either pack noodles, spaghetti or huge amounts of plain white bread. Absolutely no protein seems to be involved in any of it, not to mention any (fresh) vegetables or fruit. In some cases large quantities of alcohol and some sweets are also represented in the diet. HOW are they all not sick all the time??
Food on the way from garden this year: all the mints, thymes, lemongrass, sages, oregano, laurel, dill etc herbs, eggplant, tomatoes, peas, radishes, kabocha, butternut squash, lettuce, strawberries.
Growing or even flowering, but low likelihood of getting anything edible out of it: persimmon, peach, kiwi, beans, asparagus, corn, sunflower.
Cheers,
