Discovered anything new lately? - food and drink wise

Just a random question about cinnamon, following this. Last time I added more than usual to a dish ( the container lid came off mid shake !) and spent the night peeing . Does it have this effect or was it coincidence?

Courgette lasagne .My daughter has an abundance of courgettes this year .

Aubergine lasagne is great. We had to buy the aubergines though. Although given the state of our summers, we might be growing our own soon.

I only buy Ceylon cinnamon as other types have something in them that is bad for you in large quantities.

Sloe gin and tonic! I make my own sloe gin if there are sloes to be had and usually drink it like a liqueur, but putting tonic in it is a revelation!

I bought some greengage but had no idea what to do with them. I found a recipe for eric tavası, a Turkish chicken and greengage sweet and sour dish. I'm going to make it tomorrow for lunch.
It sounds delicious.

Greengages?
Eat them! They are like sweetish plums , IMO tasting much better.

Yes I do eat them, but I wanted to use them in a recipe. If anyone would like to try the erik tavası here is a link to the page. We've just eaten it and will certainly make it again, absolutely delicious.

I visited a friend yesterday who gave me a radicchio which she had grown in her garden.
I had some leaves as salad, but you can also cook it, which reduces the bitter taste, according to my friend

Ooh, I haven’t got a soup maker but I’ll have a go at this with my usual pan and blender.
