I like family traditions and I'd say yours is unqiue. Our Christmas one was Christmas Eve, making "mucky duck" pudding. A suet pudding that involved about a kilo of suet !!! Suet? Do humans really eat that? Isn't it just for birds? It made me think of acne. 🤮

😁 Mashed bananas might be my favourite #1 thing to eat! If I was stuck on a desert island and only got one thing to choose, I might have picked mashed bananas. I was bred on potato pancakes with lingonberries and ordinary pancakes with mashed bananas Fair enough. I was raised on "what do you want with your chips tonight" and assorted puddings with Carnation evaporated milk - so I can happily guzzle a full large tin of Carnation, even though I'm lactose intolerant. It's like supporting Stoke - I suffer for it, but I can't stop myself doing it. But still, mashed bananas, no thanks. However, barbecued bananas with Carnation - oh yes !
My closest mate told me during a hiking tour that he didn't eat the brown stuff on the bananas. He mumbled something about bacteria or something when I handed one over. I love it when lots of mashed bananas on a plate after a night or two in the refrigerator turn brown. The browner the better. 😜

Edit - Oops, wrong recipe. You can have them savoury (main course) or sweet (puddings). It's very much a UK thing, though, I think. I've never come across it outside the UK.

In my family it has become a tradition to bake a cake on New Year's Eve. But it's not typical for Swedes I'd say. Here it is: Bake the cake bases Put mashed bananas on the first cake base Put vanilla cream and strawberry jam on the second cake base Put a thin layer of whipped ice cream on the side and on top of the cake Put half grapes and mandarins and a marzipan made rose on top Grate white and dark chocolate all over the cake Enjoy! 🎂 Blimey Musik. That sounds like a lot of effort. You lost me at "mashed bananas", I'm afraid. Yeuch! I like family traditions and I'd say yours is unqiue. Our Christmas one was Christmas Eve, making "mucky duck" pudding. A suet pudding that involved about a kilo of suet !!! Not for the faint-hearted. I do still have the recipe, laminated for safe keeping. I'll try and remember to dig it out & post it on here. It's originally my nan's recipe, invented by her when she was "in service" (a maid at a country manor house) so it must be around 90 years old. As for making things on New Years Eve, the English tradition is mainly to make a fool of yourself.
I must try it! Obviously popular. 👍

There's also an excellent one called 'disgusting things you ate as a child' which goes back about 3 or 4 years. I recall that on that one, amongst other things, tadpoles * featured. * COME BACK BISP!

Don't forget that dumplings are made with suet, JD. I use vegetarian suet and put herbs in the dumplings in a lovely vegetable ragoût. This, plus many other recipes, tips and hints, is featured in the best-selling cookbooks 'Murph's Cuisines du Monde' and its acclaimed follow-up 'At Home in the Kitchens of Château Murph'. Both available from Amazon apart from when they've sold out. Go for it.

Mrs Q and I had started our own cookbook (really). Around the World in 180 meals (or something like that). We put all the countries of the world in a hat, drew one out & did a national meal from that country. Plan was to do one a month and publish a book when we'd done them all.
I did start a thread on it, and had got 2 meals in, but lockdown intervened making ingredients a tad hard to get hold of.
I think we'd drawn Ukraine ***, and I posted the recipe (chicken kievs and deruny [potato pancakes]), and Montenegro (which was superb but I haven't got around to posting the recipe yet ... 7 months on! We'd got down to 2 options for it - a white buzara or a red buzara. I decided to push the boat out & in honour of our mighty Potters, I did both).
Next country out of the hat was Mongolia and we'd decided on Buuz (steamed mutton dumplings) - which we will get to do when I can get hold of some mutton.
*** MRs Q did a trial run for the first country, drew out Kyrghistan & asked what their national dish was. When I said it was probably boiled sheep's head, she turned green & put Kyrghistan back in the hat ...

I got a visit during the night to today, at 03.15, from an express courier mailman w an important letter.
It was a questionaire about my last visit to a Health Clinic.
They wanted to know how people have suffered due to Corona.

I'm seriously worried about the mental state among my fellow citizens.
About face masks during the Corona pandemic, some say, I quote:
"If I wear a face mask I will have trouble breathing, since the corona virus lands on the mask."
"If you wear a face mask the Corona virus will land on the mask. It's dangerous. Prove to me it will not."
and things like that ...
The Corona virus is in itself dead, ok. But it multiplies in contact with something organic. What is most organic : fabric, polyester or skin?

Don't feel a day over 59, it really can slow down now. Celebrated in normal fashion by doing nothing apart from going to work and the post office but not necessarily in that order. I can now apply for a concessionary travel card with Transport for Wales, there's lovely. 😄 Thanks for remembering.

I have had a few days when my elbows, forearms and hands on both sides have felt better.
I'm not sure why. However, today it felt like my right hand was pierced by a skewer when I was at the grocery shop to take a grip at the end of a package of toilet rolls. It came from out of the blue, the most enormous pain I've felt, then it went away within half a minute. Possibly it could be the ulnar nerve or the tendon or both. Something got stuck by the repetitive gripping. You see before the grocery shop I walked with 70 glass bottles to the recycling station, which is like 500 meters to go. But I'm not that bad now a quarter to midnight, painwise.
In a week I have waited SEVEN MONTHS for a bilateral ulnar nerve impingement operation.
But hopefully I won't need one and still get better and better, and stronger.
Maybe it's a blessing after all, that I had to wait. All FOUR specialists I've seen have actually WARNED ME for the operation!! I wonder why. Sweden must have a bad record when it comes to the cubital tunnel release surgery.
