We stopped at the M&S mini food shop at a petrol station en route home from a rally and I have discovered a new way to use a tortilla wrap
A filling of shredded duck and hoisin sauce with cucumber and scallions
And it was delicious
I would never have thought to try oriental with Mexican food but it works so sometimes you can get great ideas from a local shop
Being realistic, a tortilla is just bread. Bendy bread. A bland, bendy carb. The pancakes that come with the shredded duck, cucumber, scallions and wee pot of hoisin sauce from yer friendly neighbourhood Chinese takeaway are also bland, bendy carbs. So it’s not much of a culinary evolution, imo.
Would I like one? Hell, yes.
Not much of a diversion/evolution except the size
The whole thing weighed in at a mere 400g
And it really was gorgeous
But I et it all…
The last of the Stir-fry soup is being warmed abit.
I could really fancy duck, though
Candles are burning, & have been all day.

I have just bought an 500g steak pie from what turned out to be the 75% off section in Tiny Tesco.
Machines not working properly, so no prices shown, but I got it for £1-06.
Full Moon tonight, & the Candles are lit.
Quattro fired-up too

I hope that our wee 
is happily fussing over my grand nevvie and spoiling the Poodle
I have a citronella candle going
And Jungle Formula max strength insect repellent as no wind and a cooler evening have allowed the horrers to come down to my level
Bring back my sunny weather please
I hope the grand-nevvie (never thought I’d type that) is properly in bed and wor Bee well down a bottle of decent gin and having a sensible chat with Poodle.
I am hoping for news from the hive
I hope Poodle is being furfled and cosseted
Poodle is asleep at my feet. GS has been whisked away by his Childminder 
and we are all chilling. No news re latest beelet.

Candles are still burning, Soo

The main one is rose-scented today.
Thought it might be good for the noives…

Gin-scented would be good for that.

I have citronella candles going
Bluddy midges are a pain just now
I used a rose oil when I made the last 3, Twellsy.
I will get some citronella, or lavener oil next time I stock up.

Not oil of Tanqueray? [crestfallen]

Round here you get citronella for oil torches candles fly swats uv fly zappers fly papers fly spray insect repellant - you name a thing for killing/controlling them in most shops
We have two good size fly frying devices fly netting over opening windows swatters and citronella candles by the dozen
