Wild food and civilized food

Between storms, the fourth one in three weeks about to arrive, I picked a bit of the bittercress, and a handful of potgrown chives from the patio, dressed them with labneh (strained yogurt with a touch of salt and lemon) and a bit of mayonnaise, and made a very good topping for my supper baked potato.  

Spring greens, probably full of good elements, and tasting good, too.  The chives are especially onion tasting when they're this early.


And, a civilized afternoon tea for Handsome Son who dropped in to get an update on my medical adventures, now up to three doctors at once all intent on finding something wrong with me. No answers yet, just a lot of speculation and questions and testing and waiting..

So HS came over to get up to speed.  It may end up being nothing very significant, but good to be knowledgeable about the organ recital.  

 
And in the process to enjoy newbaked scones split and spread with lemon ginger marmalade, which he approved.  We demolished the banana walnut raisin bread, too.

Before he left he climbed up to set the time on my wall clock, since the hour changed.  It's battery driven, and will be handy if we lose power, I suppose.  And this new storm is forecast to be damaging, high winds, heavy wet snow.  Well, we'll see if the rest of the tree withstands the upcoming couple of days, or if I won't need to fell it after all...meanwhile the neighbors are weighing in on how much we could save, and persuading me not to fell the whole thing. Everyone's invested in this tree.  We'll see how it goes.
