Guess I need some bean recipes then

A nice handful of freshly picked dwarf* beans

*that was what was on the packet, they’re fucking huge

I’d also consider raw, thinly sliced, with ‘nduja and strattiaccella

If you see this, quote a pic of you in glasses!

Me, a woman, on a chair lift in a ski resort. I’m in black ski wear and sporting goggles over glasses. I’m smiling joyfully.

A cartoon of a perm-headed Kevin Keegan. The text to the left of it says “THE DAY AFTER THE FINAL, THE SAD NEWS BROKE THAT KEVIN KEEGAN HAD DIED, A MAN WHO WAS THE ANTITHESIS OF THE CYNICISM THAT CLOAKED THIS WORLD CUP. THROUGH FOOTBALL, HE
BROUGHT FUN AND JOY, PROVIDING A DEEP SOURCE OF PRIDE TO THE PEOPLE OF THE TOWNS AND CITIES
WHOSE CLUBS HE REPRESENTED.
IT WAS KEEGAN WHO CHARACTERISED THE TRUE SOUL OF FOOTBALL, NOT THOSE WHO HAVE CO-OPTED THE GAME AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. TO BORROW A GUOTE FROM THE GREAT MAN,
I WILL LOVE IT IF WE BEAT THEM.

We visited the Leicester Square Lego store last week, like the idiot fans we are (no R0wling photos obvs) but now it’s a little bit tainted.

Hard to explain how good it is for a coeliac to be able to eat dim sum like a normal person. This was all such a treat.

Particularly missing this element of my daily Marseille routine

Could a bar view be more “Marseille”?

A guy in a Breton top with a messenger bag sits at a table with water and a wine glass. The door to the street is open, and a red sunshade provides shelter. There’s a little Renault parked over the road, and a heavily graffiti-ed van in front of a heavily graffiti-ed store front. It’s hot.

On repeat

Lxds, I am now 95% patisserie

Thankfully Marseille is in the orange weather zone rather than the red, and a little marine breeze keeps it bearable. Still, hopping in and out of the aircon is a must.

A typical French town square with an elaborate fountain, trees, a towering palm (we are definitely in Le Sud), a few parked motorbikes, all overlooked by red-roofed green-shuttered creamy-beige buildings

What it feels like

A descending cobbled Marseille lane lined with large pot plants and overhung generously with bougainvillea. It’s night and a lamp shines over the lane

Not a bad Sunday morning view to wake up to

A typical 5 storey French city building with multiple pale blue shutters in various stages of opening, and a couple of balconies. The building is in partial sun and partial shade. The sky behind is a vivid cloudless blue.

What it feels like 💛🧡❤️

Uh huh

A cow kitty perches in a woven basket labelled “TOYS” on a tiled floor in front of patio doors. A toy fish languishes in the corner.

It’s so ugly utilitarian! I mean … do I want to eat here? 😬😬 it’s giving school dinners or hospital canteen.

Some very ugly chairs, benches and tables in rows on a concrete floor with metal ducting above

Nice salad tonight …

Clockwise:

Six stubby carrots with their tops still on, two butter lettuces, a handful (maybe 10?) of broad bean pods.

rankamateur@rankamateur· Jun 3

Spit in my face and wrap me with barbed wire, I will love you forever if I can also eat these.

OH saw me admiring peonies and brought me some home as a surprise. They’re astonishingly beautiful. Blowsy and bountiful. And they smell amazing too.
