Busy day and home-made cheeZe tasting

Had my regular Zoom class at 12, “Plant Based Recipes” with Bettina Campolucci
Bordi.  Her 2 books are in the top spots following appearance on James Martin‘s Saturday Kitchen. She’s doing something pretty unique and deserves success.

Today’s meet was on a meat substitute suitable as a taco, vegetable etc filling. Wasn’t really concentrating as texting on iPhone at same time. Can always dig out the video on-line.

So early quick 45mn walk to the goats (not around today) and back. Zoom. Then lunch.  Tried my 2 week matured vegan cheeze  I had  made 2.  One I ate within a couple of days, good, but ‘cream cheezy’ as still young. Today’s had a better flavour and was delicious. The recipe was truffle infused, but as I had no truffle oil,  I used chopped chives (you can add whatever you like)  See EXTRAS  Next time will leave to mature for a few weeks.

Then another Zoom meet reminiscing about 2 German/Austrian cafés in Finchley Road, Hampstead.  Have childhood memories of the most amazing cream cakes.

The cruise ships have abandoned us. The Arcadia left this morning or last night - for Weymouth?  The Aurora sailed off at around 7pm, to join her sister. Expect we’ll see them again. They seem to move between the Isle of Wight, here and Weymouth - depending on weather.

Had dinner. Now adding this between texts flying backwards and forwards. If I can get this on, will just about have time to see my third Cheltenham Film Festival booking ‘Selfie’ (23:20 update, film will have to wait).

Thanks to Ingeborg for today’s Abstract Thursday ‘Blurred’ theme. I snapped these gorgeous huge daisy like flowers today on the walk. Then took a deliberate iPad ICM photo of the iPhone photo, and put that through the Prisma app. Mad aren’t we.

Nite nite and sweet dreams x
