Introduction


Can each day be headlined by a word (or two) and represented by a single sentence?

Will they, in turn, weave together to form a tapestry of the year?

It may be more mundane than momentous, but it’s mine to share.

Food Boundaries

From the Peak District we moved on to Nottingham to stay a couple of nights with the younger daughter and her fiancé who, as is their wont, expanded my gastronomic boundaries with, last night, a home-cooked West African dish of chicken and peanut stew which gave me my first taste of okra, and tonight, at the excellent Yumacha bar/restaurant in West Bridgford, an oriental tapas that included some delicious Taiwanese gua bao - a soft doughy bun to fill with slow braised belly pork, five spice, picked vegetables and crushed peanut.
