Her parents brought Flo back home after we had gone to bed last night.
Today I stayed indoors and published https://derrickjknight.com/2022/07/18/isabella-or-the-pot-of-basil/
This evening Jackie, Flo, and I dined on a Red Chilli takeaway meal which we hope may last three days.
First we neatly lay out the goodies in their containers;
then dive in at will until
our plates are empty enough for empty containers to be transported while others are moved to the fridge for tomorrow.
Jackie drank Hoegaarden, Flo drank water, and I drank more of the Fleurie.
So delicious! Americans call a to-go food a Carryout, it’s the same thing as Takeaway really. ❤️
Thanks a lot, John
Take out is a God-send when the weather turns too hot to cook.
Indeed, Pat. Thanks very much
I imagine no one wants to cook in the heat. I hope you’re all coping. Now I’m kind of craving Indian food. . .🙂
Thanks very much, Merril. It is a bit debilitating
I’m certain it is!
All looks delicious and I am sure you both enjoy having Flo back. 🙂
Yes, indeed, AnneMarie
Felt like I was there with you – can you pass me a plate ?
Thanks a lot, Yvette. That was my aim 🙂
☀️😊
Looks like you enjoyed your feast all of you 😉 💚
It was hot in the kitchen and everywhere else today 😁
Thanks very much, Sue. And no breeze, which we are promised today
Yes a nice breeze very welcome today. 😊
Three days of Red Chilli cuisine! Good luck with this project and do let us know how you get on!
Thanks a lot, John
It looks like the three of you made a good dent in the food!
Thanks very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
Looks so yummy! 🙂
Glad Flo is back!
You all please stay safe and cool in that hot weather.
(((HUGS))) ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks very much, Carolyn X
It looks nice and spicy! Yum!
Thanks very much, Jill
Time for some cold soups or take-out-food. I am glad Jackie doesn’t have to cook right now.
Thanks very much, Pat
Still bridget 🙂
Of course 🙂
Oh my everything looks so delicious! Yum.
Thanks very much, Holly
You’re welcome
I am glad the three of you are together, and sharing dinner. There is nothing like family.
Thank you so much, Lavinia
That looks perfect. Wonderful food.
Thanks very much, Gary
Great idea. I love making leftovers last three days! And they have recyclable containers not styrofoam! Stay cool!
Thanks very much, JoAnna.
Hot chilli food is not my favourite Derrick, but my brother makes the best chilli sauces ..
Thanks very much, Ivor
Indian? I love Indian. 🙂
My all-time favourite. Thanks very much, Chrissy
Sounds as if Flo has been a naughty girl and had to be snuck back in while the “olds” backs were turned 🙂 So when you wake up in the morning you think she has been innocently tucked up in bed all the time…or was I having a flashback to my rebellious teens?
The repast looks sumptuous. My problem when food is laid out like that is I feel compelled to keep eating long past when I should stop. Another flashback from my “eat today for tomorrow we starve” days. And Flo is left-handed? Jumped out of the photo at me. Remember the days when teachers would tie that hand to force you to write right-handed?
I think it is your youth you are remembering, Gwen. 🙂 It is Jackie who is left-handed. Jackie’s mother, also left-handed, had that treatment at school. I remember being forced to write with my left hand when I had injured my right. Thanks very much.
Great to have a day(s) off food preparation!
Exactly, Anne. Thank you very much
That looks good.
Thanks very much, Sheree
We love Indian food too! Looked yummy!
Thanks very much, Aletta
That’s a good plan. In this heat, who wants to cook?!
Thanks a lot, GP
Looks like a good meal.
Thanks very much, Andy
You’re welcome.
Looks delicious. What would we do without take-out! I hear you are burning up in the UK!
We are. Should ease tomorrow. Thanks very much, Dwight
We are in for the mid 90s F all week.
Looks like an excellent meal. We have just finished making pizza last three days. Too much salad, but you can’t have everything. 🙂
Thanks a lot, Quercus
🙂
Takeaway meals on days too hot to cook are a splendid idea.
Indeed. Thank very much, Eugi
Most welcome, Derrick.
Sounds like a good plan with the takeaway meal. Hope the heat isn’t terrible where you live. I’ve read it has been brutal in some places.
Not the very worst, Laurie – and should ease tomorrow. Thank you very much
We do exactly the same with our takeaway food, the leftovers are finished the following day and there are always leftovers.
Indeed. Thanks very much, Sue
What a lovely dinner 😋
Thank you very much, Ribana
A veritable feast.
Thank you very much, Dolly
My pleasure, Derrick.
That looks like a very Indian fare spicy to the gills!
Thanks very much, Uma
