I bought some groceries, friends. Not too many. I will make a sort of casserole with meat I have in the freezer. I bought an eggplant, have potatoes, carrots and onion and pieces of green and red sweet pepper that have seen better days. I´m sure that that will be enough to make a sort of stew that I can eat with the rice I still have. And for dessert, of course, some cake. I could even add, when it is almost ready, some whole tender green beans. I love them. And they will add the touch of class to the dish. But that will be for dinner. Now my tummy is full of cake. And before the groceries arrived, I cooked some corn kernels that I ate with butter while watching TV Dixie has been sending me pictures. They are aboard the same boat (the Alcion) in which I went to Kunayala. And there they are The name of the boat has an ancien Greek story. But it is also the name of the bird that I enclose here. See you later, friends.

It's a beautiful bird! Your stew idea sounds delicious. The chocolate cake sounds especially delicious! I might be hungry.

I did not find the meat I had seen, So I´ll have to turn to a plan B. I just put away the fresh cheese in the fridge and trimmed all the extras. So I´m not hungry at all

We call that bird "Martin Pescatore", I think it's Kingfisher in English.

@LadyDuck Exactly. I have fun doing the "freerice" site to get rice for hungry people as the most difficult words they put are Latin words

I think it is. The name in Spanish resembles your English name.

I haven't had chocolate cake in so, so long. That sounds really good. And yes, sometimes comfort food is just needed for us, it boosts the spirits and gives us some perspective. Besides, it's delicious!

I will see if tomorrow I can find the meat. But it will have to be without the eggplant. I used it today.

Your dinner sounds good. The cake sounds delicious. I'm glad Dixie is enjoying her trip on the ship with the same name as the beautiful bird.

Enjoy your stew with rice. I cooked a crockpot of veggies today. I’ll have enough for about three days and I have a pie in the fridge so I’m all set.

@marguicha Veggies are my favorites, add a little rice or noodles and they’re perfect.

A cake is always a good option for dessert, especially if it's made of chocolate! although my favorite is walnut cake, have you tried it?
