I have also recently frozen sliced limes in winter and the slices are now appearing in summer gins and tonic. But I do admire your commitment. Have a nice rest now.
BTW somewhere you fleetingly mentioned lobster lasagne? Please explain, I have a pending visit from non meat eaters who love fishy things , and curiously there are some lobster tails........

You're thinking of zongzi--seasoned glutinous rice wrapped in a large leaf (bamboo, lotus, banana, etc.), then steamed. It's traditional fare during the Dragon Boat Festival. It's also a popular dim sum item.
Yes, I can still get Lan Chi here, bot the Chili Paste with Garlic and the Black Bean Sauce with Chili.

We also had a quiet, simple night at home together,with a bit of style!
A taste test Osietra and beluga with blinis and sour cream. Like MFK Fisher it was the first time we had very nearly enough caviar! 50 g of each.
Chicken liver parfait with toast.
Fabulous artisan cheddar.
Dom Perignon 2005.
The bread and blinis made with flours I purchased from a working 19th century windmill in Tasmania.

Maybe the programming part is what particularly appeals to your scientist nature? Not that it's easy so much as THERE, and precise.
