I always used to enjoy seeing what she was cooking up and this offering doesn't disappoint. It will be nice for her to come home from work and have her meals all ready for her. 56stepshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714155300369089630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-71928182790581657702022-05-04T13:01:09.531-07:002022-05-04T13:01:09.531-07:00LOL, yes, you almost did.

I often cut the steaks into smaller pieces; the one I cooked was a 1/2 lb. steak and I cut it into 4 pieces before cooking.<br />I checked on the passionfruit flower, today, and it has already faded! But, there are a few more buds on the vine and when they flower, I will make it a point to hand pollinate them to increase my chances of getting fruit!

Is the fish in your fish curry cut in steaks or fillets? When we did fish curries in the online Indian cookery class I was surprised to learn that traditionally, Indian fish curries use fish steaks and wondered if that's the same in Sri Lanka.<br /><br />Passionfruit flowers are so interesting aren't they? It'll be lovely if you do get some fruits too.

We are allowed to run the sprinklers once a week, but, we may water trees and perennials by hand as needed. I rarely use my sprinklers, anyway, preferring to water by hand.
