If you thought these, what shall we call them, spears?
were older than my kids you'd be right. Older than me?? Well I'm reasonably sure you'd be right there too.
I don't remember ever using them as a kid - but took them off my mom years ago when she was around, on a trip to Kolkata. Likely my parents got them early 70s - probably in Dar es Salaam

What are they for? Ahh take a guess...
(If not obvious to you, answer below shortly)

4 long metal skewer like things with a two pointed barbed flat fork at end with wooden handles and (different ) colored beads at the end of the handle

A number of bowls with things in them. Clockwise from left: cut pieces of cauliflower, cut red bell peppers, cut carrots, cocktail sausages, pieces of bread, orange bell pepper, and in the center, pickled cornichon

A metal pot with melted cheese and beyond are the bowls with items to dip in. The fondue forks are on top of one of the bowls

A pot of melted cheese on an induction job on a table and 4 metal skewers/forks over the pot, with pieces of food covered in cheese at their ends

Two pics - close ups of food held up on fondue fork ends - with melty off white cheese draped over them

Trader Joe’s has a Thanksgiving style burrito. I’m giving it a shot and will report back.

It was tasty! I do think some additional cranberry sauce would have kicked it up a notch, but certainly an interesting burrito 🌯

Ate lunch, all by myself.
Unfortunately, I was the only person masked up 😷

Did you take your lunch break? Even if you don't feel like eating, take the time to recharge.

@selfcare This post reminded me that some cultures (looking at you Anglos) don't really take a proper lunch break. I had to remind several times some my Anglo coworkers that my office was off-limits between 12h00 and 13h00. And I make a point to never eat at my desk either.

One One Two

Allergens menu

This stylish wine bar in Nairn is serving up a creative small-plates menu inspired by South East Asian and Middle Eastern flavours.

They recommend two or three plates per person and these come when they are ready, so works best if you are dining with folk you can share with.

Plates are dainty, flavourful and interesting. The menu updates regularly, but you’ll see similar dishes to those pictured below. Our favourites were the crispy Peking aubergine, a delicious chickpea and vegetable kofta served with dal (apologies, I ate it too fast to take a photo!), and bonus points for a proper vegan dessert with sticky toffee pudding.

As it is a wine bar, they offer a great choice of wines and their wine flights are a fun way to sample a selection.

You do need to check the allergens menu on their website to see vegan items, which is a little laborious. But it is good to see they’ve taken the trouble to produce a proper allergen menu, and gave me confidence in knowing which dishes were vegan. If you did visit without checking options, the staff were genuinely helpful, positive and informed. When we visited the chef adapted a vegetarian dish, making up a sauce for us so it could be vegan.

One One Two is unsurprisingly popular, so booking well in advance recommended.
