Lo!!!! .. yet another Loose Connections chock-a-block full of amazzzzingness!!

Thankyoooooo!!!🙏

You never cease to bring sO much joy and innnncredible info ..

I'm going to do 'your' version of Sophia's pasta as I also use lemon zest on everrrrrrrrything and allllways use a ton of parma ... and breadcrumbs! ... perrrfect!!

Not sure if you've tried smothering marmalade or raspberry or strawberry jam on any sort of toast .. then pile with parma and grill .. (sandwich maker or grill) until it bubbles like Vesuvius and turns toffee jammycheesy .. lots of pepper on top .... think you'd like it:) .. salty sweet! .....

Anywayyyyyyy thankyou again for your always consistent allllways intriguing and innnnnncredible insights Lo .. blows me away!! .. and the pasta pics are sO good!!👏👏👏

Also loved your pesto ideas ... I to wiz anything into a pesto as long as there's lemon (preserved as well!) .. and zest! :):):)

Jam and parmesan sounds rather incredible, I might just have to try that.... I still recall the best weird toasted sandwich I ever had, more than twenty years ago, was feta, avocado, huge amounts of fresh macadamia butter and sun-dried tomatoes - what a crazy taste explosion! x

My daughter’s best friend has a cafe in West Brunswick that makes a mean vegetarian toastie - spinach, garlic, potato and cheese. They put Scottish ploughman’s chutney in their ham and cheese toastie. The pasta is making me hungry and I just had lunch! Reread the pesto post, and I must listen to your Blue playlist while my soup simmers later today. Thank you dear Writer!!
