"Still lie the sheltering snows, undimmed and white;
And reigns the winter's pregnant silence still;
No sign of spring, save that the catkins fill,
And willow stems grow daily red and bright.
These are days when ancients held a rite
Of expiation for the old year's ill,
And prayer to purify the new year's will."

Re: What do you do in the kitchen?
I always put some dressing on my salad @Janjard. Usually I mix some olive oil (extra virgin) with wine vinegar (preferably white wine) and some Dijon mustard. I don't usually worry too much about exact amounts. The vinegar can easily be replaced with lemon.
I love salad, mixing anything that comes to hand. At the moment I have some endives, lettuce and cress, and some avocado. I ran out of tomatoes so will have to get some more tomorrow as I eat these almost always in my salad. I eat salad at least once a day, sometimes twice if I make it as a side salad.
I spend a lot of time in Nepal @Janjard as I used to live in Kathmandu for a few years. I have a great part-time 'job' as a 'professional' tourist visiting places there to help promote. It is not so much work as pleasure!

Re: Take 3 Words Game 125
I lost the string around the bread box, possibly it flew away through the strong breeze, so we have breakfast inside home.

Hear about the new restaurant called Karma?
There is no menu: You get what you deserve.
