...all over the kitchen.
I was grinding some black pepper over my pizza when the grinder came apart. All over the kitchen; minor problem. Major problem was corns getting stuck in the mayo I had put on the pizza. Which isn't good for either the pizza or future pepper. I know, the foodies out there will be saying "get some fresh food inside you Nigel" and "mayo on pizza? weird". It's what it is; I like it. Although not so much highly peppered.FYI it was spinach and ricotta. And I didn't eat a whole pizza. So no guilt.
Black peppercorns are
dried berries from the vine Piper nigrumhealthline.com tells me that black pepper "has been deemed the 'king of spices' and used in ancient Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years due to its high concentration of potent, beneficial plant compounds". For those of you who need me to enlighten you about Ayurvedic medicine, it's an Indian alternative medicinal system which "provides personalized recommendations about which foods to eat and avoid based on your body type" [healthline.com again]. I asked some Indians for some help but they said "sorry, we don't have anyone of your body type here, Nigel". The Indian Medical Association characterises the system as "quackery". Fake news!Anyway I'm getting some exercise picking up all the peppercorns, as I don't want them to clog up my Dyson.
Oh dear.
ReplyDeletePizza is fine, after all it’s only a glorified cheese and tomato sandwich - or spinach and ricotta (very healthy) but really, you could have thinned the mayonnaise with a little lemon juice and used to dress a green salad to accompany your pizza.
Just a suggestion. And then you’d be a proper foodie.
And you’re wise to avoid ‘alternative medicine’. Just keep taking your daily Vitamin D and take long, long walks. And blog.
