Mrs Lao Lao has been banging on about making a wild garlic pesto for a few weeks now but no joy in finding any - Being kept to a 2km radius obvs doesn't help.
We've had to make do with the wild garlic pesto that they are selling in Forest Avenue which in reality is way better than we could ever make ourselves but she still wants to make her own.

Younger sister's test came back negative. Older sister's result hasn't come back yet.
Just spoke to a guy in the White House on the Covid task force (7am call), nice guy but didn't give me any juicy info.

a tip i got from someone a few years back is to make loads and freeze it in ice cube trays, so you can defrost just what you need every time

Older sister's test is positive , honestly thought it would be, I was speaking to her yesterday and the cough she has and other symptoms didn't sound good.
I assume now that all the patients who were tested at the care home where she works will also be Covid too.
There was a PPE shortage there, supervisors moaning about whether they "needed" to change masks etc.
Even though I was 99% sure it would come back positive it still hits you in the gut when it's confirmed.

Ah, I was only half joking on the Forest Avenue. As the restaurant is closed, some of the chefs are still coming in and making stuff that they are selling as a green grocers. It's right around the corner from me so we've tried to support them a bit although we'd only get a few bits each week as it ain't bleedin cheap!

Originally posted by Lao Lao View PostYes, if you wouldn't mind letting me know the exact location, either here or by PM, that'd be great, thanks! It'll be a few weeks before we get back up to the Phoenix Park as it's outside the 2km zone for me.

Originally posted by shrapnel View Postmight not be worthwhile in a few weeks tbh. best time to get wild garlic is when they're very young, before the flowers start growing, so march/april . After that you can still grab them and they're still ok but they've lost a little flavor

Classic French omelette. Lose points for not fully mixing the eggs, 10 seconds over cooked, and badly folded.

btw Kish Fish do outstanding smoked haddock, havent tried their smoked cod yet. Its proper smoked, not just coloured and smoke flavour smeared into it like it would be in supermarkets, Kish goes through a proper smoking process. Better than restaurant quality.
