Tilapia is very popular in East Africa but quite an invasive species in warm waters. Had it many times cooked over hot coals with piri piri and what to the uninitiated looks like a pile of unctuous mashed potatoes - until the awful taste of mashed plantains hits the unprepared taste buds.My favourite fish is sea bass @Krystyna23040, baked whole, belly stuffed with garlic, sprigs of tarragon or other herbs in season and drizzled with olive oil. I enjoy salmon, especially Alaskan sockeye, and tuna as well. All three have very different flavours and textures. I like prawns, brown shrimps, crevettes and scallops too.
Once upon various times I've eaten tilapia, but cannot recall much about the flavour. Obviously it can't have made much of an impression.
Sunday's FBG 4.6 mmol on waking at 6.00 am.
Small gains - good gains. Meanwhile, across the pond of despair..Morning all from the cool of mid-morning (7.30 qualifies from a 4.20 start) in L.A.. As I type with a gentle breeze from the patio doors open behind me, sipping my 800 mls of tea, dogs fed and laying asleep, me listening to my morning devotional playlist all is peace and calm. I don't know my fbg, I do know my weight, health metrics via fitbit and as much about my diet yesterday as the reliability of Cronometer allows. Does that count as managing The D pearl clutchers? @Lamont D winner for your journey through life after the dispiriting effect of that physics teacher. Later today we venture even unto BSE to see the dermatologist - I may ask if a Libre sensor would be inadvisable just now. On Friday I have a face to face at the kidney clinic cum oncologist where I could/should learn the outcome of the latest CT scan if I haven't had it via MyChart App. With everything medical aimed at this Bullous Pemphigoid for two months life is slowly taking a more familiar shape. 4.5k steps yesterday dodging the sun - still sedentary but that is more than many weekly totals in the recent past - marginal gains. Have a cartoon which is both funny and misses the point: he and Trump need "calling out" as (accurately) seeing them as ridiculous hasn't worked. I'm wondering if Rayner could put B and F man in his place. Have a great Monday - lyrics Genn.
You have done brilliantly @Lamont D as have many of us who have faced adversity from parents/school etc when there was no need. I always had my art no matter what anyone said or did, even my art teachers were derogatory of my work. I am shedding all that.I know how that feels when your parents can't see your skills o or you as an artisan.
my grammar school nearly crushed my academic knowledge, I have always said, I !earned more after school.
my physics teacher wrote in my report, that he was glad, I wouldn't be in his class the following year.
my sport brought me success in my playing, coaching and in pro sport. (Not p!aying)
I was always confident I could learn methods of assembly or in producing something, once I was shown how, once I saw the knack, once I understood the method and thought it through. I could and would do it. Not art though!!!!!
I went from production operator (ant) on the production line, to what is preparation for a new vehicle (pre production) as a team leader, working with designers, engineers, parts producers, and other team leaders, to evaluate the how, why and best method, layout of work stations, tools, specialist part containers.
If my physics teacher would have been around then!!!!!
And in my last job, a lot of detail to get the preparation for the next match.
I learnt that continuous improvement in my skill set and confidence in how, why and being as good as I could be, to satisfy those that relief on me.
We cannot be perfect, but being the best you can, should be enough....
You can only do, what you can, and no one should be critical.
Your art is wonderful @gennepher.
I have nowt but praise!
Thank you very much @Krystyna23040Oh no @gennepher. Not a good day but I think your painting is really good.
Thank you for sharing the wonderful art and the earlier cartoon. I need to look around NYT to see their humour. As for sedentary, that can't be an absolute based on step count. The rest of us must be pretty sedentary compared to Noah Lyles and my METS now aren't the same as when I was 25. Have a great day.Good morning everyone on a pleasantly warm and breezy start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north. 5.6 this a.m. and already The Girl In The Bubble has been collected by Mrs Miggins - it’s all hands to the sails during summer holidays to support working parents. No idea what we will be doing today which is exciting in itself. I have a single fennel bulb that needs using today so it will probably end up being roasted in the oven with some other veg and some parmesan grated over it. Will need some protein. Art bit - well there are some trees. Hope your day does not contain the word infelicitous. Mine will surely contain the word brunch at some point. But first, some koffy.

Wow I love these trees @dunelm ...the thicker strokes of the mountains, and the simple lines of the trees...Good morning everyone on a pleasantly warm and breezy start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north. 5.6 this a.m. and already The Girl In The Bubble has been collected by Mrs Miggins - it’s all hands to the sails during summer holidays to support working parents.

Very pretty kaleidoscope. We usually have lots of red campion but, so far, they are not flowering here.Fbg 6.9
Okay short post
Day is already too hot here.
So a kaleidoscope for Creative, no time to do a painting, so I can do some jobs/work before this hot day totally saps my energy...

Badgers by the Swing
Have your best day
Kaleidoscope is in Laboscope and it is of a wildflower Red Campion
Have fun
I'll look in later when I am flaked out on my bed having an afternoon siesta....

Thank you for sharing the wonderful kaleidoscope. My mum had a friend whose surname was Campion. I never knew there was a wildflower called Campion, possibly because anything not part of a cash or food crop was considered a weed to be eliminated asap in my homeland. Hugs for how the heat impacts you (will be well over 35 in our sun trap back garden, mid to high 20s indoors - lounge in full sun, 26 at the weather station here but I'm very happy with that) which links back to the point about sedentary/energy/effort expenditure v Noah Lyles. Take it easy.Fbg 6.9

Never heard of them...looking now @JohnEGreenHave you thought of buying a cooling jacket with fans built in may help keep you cool.
