Tuna & Egg Salad; one other ‘wee rant’ · Thyme for Cooking

My lettuce has been doing very properly this 12 months.

We’ve been consuming salads for both lunch or dinner (or each) on daily basis for a number of weeks.

After per week of rain all the pieces else within the backyard has taken off – even the herbs within the pots on the deck.

There’s, clearly, one thing within the rain that vegetation actually like. The equal watering with the hose simply doesn’t elicit the identical response as rain.

We’re all joyful !

The one factor cooked on this salad is the eggs, and we at all times have hard-boiled eggs readily available.

For individuals who are right here for the recipe, you may cease studying now.

For individuals who are right here to see what as we speak’s rant is about – learn on.

I used to be doing the weekly ‘social media’ updates for this weblog after I noticed a recipe for a Bread & Butter fridge pickle.

I like Bread & Butter Pickles and I actually like fridge pickles.

I’m not going to touch upon the recipe – though I might. One doesn’t should sterilize tools to make a fridge pickle that will probably be eaten in per week…..

What I’ll touch upon is the effort and time it took me to get to the recipe.

I paged down 31 instances, passing by over 20 photographs.

They have been beautiful photographs, however I do know what a sink appears like. I’ve a number of. I’m even acquainted with a knife.

As I used to be paging down (31 instances) I briefly glimpsed the next sections:

• Why I like this.
• What issues I used
• Basic (very) directions
• The right way to make it (no, not the identical as directions)
• Combining substances
• Notes
• FAQ’s
• Ideas & methods
• The right way to do stuff
• The right way to serve stuff
• Extra concepts
• RECIPE!!!! (lastly)

To be truthful, on the prime of the primary web page was a hyperlink to the recipe, however I at all times prefer to scroll down a couple of traces to see if there’s something necessary or fascinating. I stated ‘traces’ not ‘pages’.

Sadly, there by no means is… simply a variety of phrases saying the very same factor in lots of, many alternative methods.

All the cool meals blogs do that. Does anybody know why?

I’m not one of many cool meals blogs (additionally, clearly).

As soon as a insurgent; at all times a insurgent.

Rant over.

Oh – the recipe? I copied the substances onto a post-it word. Not too powerful to determine find out how to make it (Duh!)

I’ll have to return to take a look at the picture to learn to run water over meals in a colander. That seemed difficult….
