Linguine with squid ink.. very adventurous mate. How did it go down?
 
Great FBG jealous of the soughdough
Sourdough baguette. It was delicious. Sadly I have cracked a tooth this morning! A big chunk of molar split off line an iceberg from a polar ice sheet! My dental accidents always happen peri-Christmas!! No pain though, fortunately. But seriously! Always at Christmas time! ***?! :rolleyes:

Oh well. C'est la vie. I'll see if I can get an emergency temp filling done today. Other wise it'll just have to wait :p

I swear if the universe turns out to be a simulation, what git decided I get a dental problem every few Christmases? I had a check up last week with a glowing report from my dentist telling me my teeth have never been so good since he's been seeing me :joyful:

Have a good Christmas guys!
