Week 265: curly top
September 30, 2023
- I think pain au chocolates might have started making me day-long sick. Is that possible?
- Made this ottolenghi with the first of my three hokkaido squashes. I’ve never had a hokkaido squash before but I liked it. I’ll definitely order more of them for next year.
- Although it’s dead easy to save squash seeds, squashes are really promiscuous so the seeds from a Hokkaido could give you any old squash plant. To save ensure they’re going to give you more Hokkaidos I would have had to hand pollinate them and then seal up the flowers so nothing else got in. 🙅♀️
- I have recently learnt that old flowers smell bad (especially sunflowers). This seems obvious in retrospect, but (as a life long unsmeller) I never knew.
- On thursday I got absolutely hammered by accident. When I got home (at midnight after 3 spicy margs) the room was spinning so badly I had to go and sit downstairs and watch TV.
- Peakon season! [redacted]
- My boy has the most lovely curly top.
