That's a pretty good reason to return to bed.

Happy Sunday all

Lazy morning, follow by a couscous (roast chicken, merguez, veggies, semolina) for lunch then despite de grey weather I planted potatoes in laundry baskets and a couple of freesia in a small planter for the kitchen window.

Hey, Dugh, Mum, and Thistle.     How are things?

Hi Page. We're doing okay. It's a bright and sunny day. Warmer than yesterday, currently 53/11°. It was down around freezing this morning with a heavy frost. I wasn't expecting it to get tgat cold so hadn't covered any of the plants but everything seems okay.

[Albert1434]

Aloha Dughlas hope your well today

Limited menu 

I saw a few things I'd try.

Yeah, they focus on quality over quantity. I have yet to find a dish I don't like on their menu.   

A focused menu helps control both quality and price. When your offerings are limited it's imperative that you produce consistent high quality product or folks don't return. Also, the smaller menu means lower overhead since you don't need to stock slower selling items. Then too, you can operate with a smaller kitchen.

Zucchini for me again, with mushrooms and onions, and a bit of tomato sauce, and grilled, seasoned leftover chicken breast... topped with grated extra old cheddar cheese.  

Is extra old cheddar the overlooked chunk that got shoved to the back of the fridge?

I'm just here for a little distraction. The job application is driving me nuts

I'm so good, I’m really wonderful, me, me, me aahhhhhhhhhhhhh

Have I overworked the submission? I am crap at this  
 

Still need to finish it... 2 hours to go...

I believe the term you're looking for is self-promotion. Nearly as enjoyable as self-flagellation.

What do you do with your laundry if you've planted potatoes in the baskets?

I'd be going back to bed if that was waiting on me too.  But I wouldn't be sleeping. 

[Albert1434]

Clo could we see a picture of those potatoes please

I'm doing reasonably well thank you. My head has been a bit more diffcult lately but not bad enough to prevent me doing a few things. Mum and I went out for brunch after church and then I took Thistle for a walk in the sunshine. Didn't see any signs of bears, coyote or wolves but did see one of the resident bald eagles fly overhead.

I only wear my birthday suit

Laundry baskets (1,99€ piece) are way way cheaper that what they sell as potatoes planting bags (4 to 8€ depending). I add geotextile (that dad has from work) to close the holes all around the basket and to add height.
