The Weekly Friday Feast

The Weekly Friday Feast

Thank goodness it's Friday (or TGIF as some say!)

We thought we would start a thread where we could come together every Friday and "share a meal" and debrief about our week.

To participate, there are 2 requirements -

1) Bring a (virtual) plate of food

2) Bring a topic of discussion

So pull up a virtual chair, post a picture or description of what (virtual) dish you're bringing along and say hi and let us know how your week was.

Looking forward to seeing you at our first Friday Feast!

Chat soon 🙂

In keeping with the theme of a Friday Feast, had lunch a while ago, consisting of herring in tomato sauce with tomato and onion, pickled with apple cider vineagar, black pepper, salt and a hint of sweet chilli sauce, then a grapefruit, followed by coffee with cream. And now responding to a few posts on the forum.

@MDT is, or has been at a work function which I hope puts a sparkle in his day; @Shaz51 is preparing a roast chicken dinner, probably finished eating the dinner by the time this is posted, after a busy week; and @StuF says G'day.

Well, it''s still fairly early here, at a bit before 5.00 pm {AWST}, but it's either dinner or coffee and cheese time over East, I would think.

Today, I attended the local High School Presentation Ceremony. It was enjoyable, with a mix of student/teacher performances which broke up the more mundane aspect of presentations and speeches covering the year's accomplishments and the hopes for the future. I didn't attend the light lunch afterward - too many temptations for my good.

After that I went to the chemist and, with picking up some medt'n, had a chat with the chemist who is an old guy like me. We made some comparisons between events happening now and those early to mid last century. Some of the projections that come from those comparisons give cause for concern. However, no better or worse than what has been enjoyed, experienced and survived before, but some worth keeping in mind as cautionary tales.

My projection for the weekend is to get out into the yard and do some tidying up. I would like to think that will lead to some evidence of both pleasant floral and shub style plants and also some edibles. I think that it would be a good idea for me to work on one project at a time in order to not create a mental overload. But something of a generalised goal is probably worth maintaining.

Time to post these comments and move on to the next task.

With Best Wishes

Hi @Shaz51

Your comment:

“Sometimes copy and paste does not work my @HenryX xx

But it looked like it worked”

Yes, that is the reason that I was asking for responses about the process. It appears to me that a "copy and paste" through, or from a word processor {eg., Microsoft Word, Apache OpenOffice Writer} does not “copy and paste” back into the reply box, on the forum, as a functional address. It looks right, but I believe that from the word processor, it will not work. That is why I mentioned that I had copied them from other posts, in which case, they appear to work.

"{I've "copied and pasted" the forum addresses above from other posts, so I hope they come through to each person in the "Your Notifications" list. Please let me know if you see your name here, but have not received a notification}"

Just me working out the functions of the site, so that people can be informed if they have a problem.

Thank you very much for your comment and response.

With Best Wishes

P.S. Please let me know of any problem with this post.
