Fortunately, we are all vaccinated and I hope that that is enough!<br /><br />I am not good at identifying wild mushrooms, myself, and wouldn't recommend eating anything unless one is 100% sure! Maybe there will be another giant puffball or two before autumn ends for you to enjoy. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-46051396283065351852021-10-04T17:33:49.324-07:002021-10-04T17:33:49.324-07:00Family gatherings are lovely, but, so worrying, to...Family gatherings are lovely, but, so worrying, too, these days!Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-36998172753570499772021-10-04T17:30:22.599-07:002021-10-04T17:30:22.599-07:00It was nice to visit with the family.

My maternal grandmother used to always make both marshmallows and Turkish Delight for Christmas. I've made them, myself, a couple of times, but, I don't make them that often, because if I make them, then, I will eat them and I shouldn't eat them! :D Temperatures are supposed to drop by the end of the week, so, I might save one of the marshmallows for a cup of hot chocolate, then! :DBlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-81132335252741904892021-10-04T17:22:36.291-07:002021-10-04T17:22:36.291-07:00It's the most I've picked in one go, so fa...It's the most I've picked in one go, so far! There are 3 more immature one on the tree. Lots of flowers, too, but, I don't know how well the tree will do in the winter; we shall wait and see. <br /><br />I hope your lunch out with colleagues will turn out to be both safe and enjoyable, Nil. Do you have coriander seeds? If so, maybe have a cup of coriander tea, when you get home. That's what I did, last night. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-5064456237178080662021-10-04T17:18:36.382-07:002021-10-04T17:18:36.382-07:00How hard it is to be sociable and sensible during ...How hard it is to be sociable and sensible during this time! I think the problems in managing social situations bother me more than the isolation did. But we'll get through it one day.<br />DH is now very enthusiastic about the many types of mushrooms springing up in our yard like they do every fall. He has looked in vain for more giant puffballs and now wants to know what else we can eat. Nothing that I feel safe with, I told him, and when he picked up some fungi to look at, I insisted that he wash his hands as soon as we got back in the house. Strange mushrooms scare me!Bushladynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-68525105528884523062021-10-04T17:05:52.748-07:002021-10-04T17:05:52.748-07:00Family gatherings are so heartwarming.

I'm glad you were able to do so. <br />I've had homemade marshmallows once before. They are quite delicious.

I have two...12 moringa pods! That's wonderful. <br />I have two moringa trees. The taller one is very healthy looking, but hasn't produced a single pod yet. The other skinny one gave one pod. So, I manly eat moringa leaves. :)<br /><br />I'm planning to go to a lunch with several colleagues this weekend. I'm a bit nervous, but I'm around so many unmasked (possibly unvaccinated as well) students now, so going to lunch with 3 colleagues won't make a big difference, I hope. Though I have to take the mask off to eat. <br />Nil @ The Little House by the Lakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05812637017406376233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-14676644071926974982021-10-04T04:25:45.445-07:002021-10-04T04:25:45.445-07:00It almost sounds like V arranged a small gathering...It almost sounds like V arranged a small gathering just for you and your cousins.
