FRESH SAMPHIRE WITH COARSE BULGAR WHEAT..

Good evening to YOU Dear Readers wherever YOU may be.

SHE has jurst dreamt up a deliciously tasty dish.. From lubbly-jubbly Fishmonger SHE bought some Squidly-Diddly, no surprise there, WE eat it twice a week, some Whelks aka Sea Snails, three huge Shrimp and a small handful, because that was all that was left in the basket, of Samphire.

Now along comes supper time this evening, what to have with the Squidly-Diddly? Can not be bothered to cook Rice, Red or otherwise, SHE is hungry and S-D only takes a couple of minutes in a hot pan.. uuumm? What to make?

Ooooh yes! Samphire IN Bulgar Wheat, small pan on, in goes little block of frozen Fish stock from freezer, made from those fierce Salmon heads, in goes a cup and a half of boiling water, in goes Samphire with small cup of Bulgar Wheat, bring back to boil, turn down and simmer for four minutes with pan lid on, turn off heat and let it sit whilst S-D is cooking with his ink.. plus those huge Shrimp.

WE both cleared OUR plates.. yes, of course, I eat fish.. it is very good for feather sheen and eye sight.. have to have VERY sharp eye sight in order to see what SHE is up to!

YOU know that store, Lidl, is really quite remarkable!  Not only is it the ONLY place YOU can find Rye and Sunflower Bread ALL the time but they do sell extraordinarily clever stuff, today SHE found packets of very thick coir matting 50 x 150 cms with proper ties.. 

Do YOU know what it is for? Well, WE will tell YOU.. It is the very best stuff with which to wrap YOUR Citrus Fruit trees in the winter! 

WE have three that live on a window ledge, when it is snowing, of course, SHE brings trees in but for jurst frosty weather SHE always wraps them and takes the trees out of their saucers, murst not water them when it is chilly-billy as water will freeze around the roots and kill little Orange trees.So last watering is jurst about when ole Frosty starts scattering his icy stuff about.. 

Lidl? Why is SHE surprised? SHE found the trees there four years ago..

Oh, such delicious YumYum.. hope fishmonger has more Samphire tomorrow, SHE owes him £1.36.. he jurst waved a hand at HER.. can YOU imagine a dreadful Supermarket doing that? NO, YOU would have to put something back.. not with these guys.. they KNOW SHE'll be back.

And so will WE.. here.. tomorrow with more Tales of Life by a small African Grey Parrot and HER.. Yippee.. it is the weekend!

GeeGee Parrot.
