Grilled steak and baked fries for me. I had apple sauce sprinkled with cinnamon for dessert.  

The only way I would eat applesauce when I was a kid was if I doused it with cinnamon.  I think there was more cinnamon than applesauce.

For my week 17 19 out of 52 Black & White photo challenge this week I uploaded the photograph I shared with you a number of days back of the first lot of potatoes I harvested...

Spoiler

Week 17.....

That means I'm almost one third of the way through this challenge.

[EDIT] I just realised this was actually my week 19 contribution. I'll blame that mistake on the hot whiskey I had after dinner.

Tonight were having

Coconut-Crusted Mahi-Mahi and Mandarin-Chili Sauce

with macadamia nut carrots and cilantro rice

 

I had a warm slice of tomato focaccia sprinkled with parmesan cheese and romaine lettuce drizzled with balsamic vinegar and half of a 4 inch fresh peach tart. Not particularly hungry and have a nasty migraine.

I would have to pass on the macadamia nuts, both mum and I are allergic.

I had carbonara fettuccini and chocolate brownies

For afters this evening I had peppermint tea with a good dash of Irish whiskey added. 

I think I may have found a replacement for Irish coffee.

(Maybe with not quite so much whiskey the next time... )

Like a sensory deprivation tank?  That's a big nope for me.  I'm claustrophobic, so can't stand the idea of being shut in somewhere, especially with water.  I like the idea of darkness and silence, though.  

Yep just like that. The lid doesn’t lock or click shut or anything like that and the tanks are actually quite big.

The super concentrated salts make you very floaty and it’s not very deep, just enough so you don’t hit the bottom with your bottom.

Omelettes are delicious.  I'll take mine sans fungus, though

It sounds like an interesting experience.  I'm not sure I could get past the lid though, no matter how big the tank is.

I had freshly caught Mahi-mahi when I visited my sister on that tiny rock in the middle of the ocean. It’s a good fish

Actually you could use it lid open. The rooms have motion detectors for the lights so you could get in, leave the lid open and just float like that. The big difference would be the sound. It wouldn’t be as quiet.

two tips for young players, do not get the salt in your eyes (there is a spray bottle of fresh water to help) and make sure you rinse your ears otherwise you end up with salt crystals in your ear canal - they make crinkly noises

Yes Bucket floating sounds like a gas is there room for two?

You know Bucket you turn a spark into a flame

That I could do

Not at the one I go to but there are double tanks available... I don’t think it would be sensory deprivation with two

There is a place that does that right across from where I work.  Some of the girls want to go and check it out, but I'm not one of them.

A vicuña in the highlands of the Andes Mountains in Ecuador

The smallest member of the camel family, the vicuña is closely related to the llama and the alpaca.

Sort of like a cucumber floating in a pickle brine.

I'm fairly certain Marty is not a cannibal so unlikely to be knoshing on other members of the forum ... what, oh ... uhm, ... never mind then. Please continue with your previously scheduled merriment.

Don't mention cucumbers! Clo might get overexcited.
