What are you cooking now?

Sounds great (if sailing dangerously close to Pseuds Corner)

Parked right ON Pseud's Corner with the hazards flashing, if you ask me!!

Pace Caliban I would say moored and anchored, with sails bestowed and all hands on shore.

Ah, Mr Sir Velo (that really ought to be Dottore at the least), you have made me laugh out loud, which, after a generally crap day in the supposedly sunny South of France where it's as cold as it is in October, was a real tonic. Risotto with broad beans and pancetta ce soir - un de mes favorites, if not exactly French.

Did you notice how, in the first recipe, the pasta wasn't cooked and the pasta and the sauce were not brought together?

A variation on Pseud's Corner perhaps?

Hungry Pseud's Corner?

Are you skinning those broad beans HD or are they so tender that it would be pointless?

A very quick dinner of a salad with fetta cheese, cucumber, tomato & bread, eaten outside.

Simple and tasty, yum!

Any dressing Flossie?

Bread?

Glass of chilled rosé?

Actually, it's what my mate's 84 year old mum rustles up. She's from Savona. She's hardly pseudo at 80!

Nothing at all wrong with la cucina povera and certainly not with la nonna's delicious-sounding recipe but it's maybe that conjunction with Luciano Berio and Bill Evans .... But why not - cook, eat, listen and enjoy. Buono appetito!

Quite. Rules are for bureaucrats, not food or music.

The bread was tghe best that the Co-op could provide . I had a glass of Prosecco, but generally cutting out wine this week (& tea after about 6.00) to see if it has any effect on the number of times I get up in the night to pee.

I listen to an awful lot of music and there is absolutely nothing psued about my listening.

It's not my fault that my iPod's alphabetical ordering can't tell the difference between a Christian name and a surname - B-e for Berio and up next was B-i Bill Evans. There's no rule about listening to Sinfonia (or Hawkwind) in the kitchen.

And thanks HD, I certainly did cook. eat and enjoy!

Quite. Rules are for bureaucrats, not food or music.

Indeed

This draws attention to how narrow-minded most people are about music. Someone can't possibly be listening to Berio and Bill Evans, just because they want to, there must be an ulterior motive.

Porage, sweetened with honey, listening to DSCH Symphony #4, Barshai.
