Umm - yummy! Happy and I love salads: all kinds, regardless of whether they have names or not.
The Franziskaner wiessbier looks none too shabby either. I don't often drink wheat beers (and when I do, am always surprised by their slightly cloudy appearance). We can buy it in our local Sainsbury: maybe when we are next in that direction, we'll pick up a case. Won't be able to drink it out of matching glasses though.

Yeah, I like wheat beers, and the Franziskaner is a nice one. Paulaner's another good one, also sold by Sainsbury's: https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/gol-ui/..._source=google
Have you tried that?
Yes, I have a nice collection of beer glasses, and like to match them up when I can with their respective beers

Yesterday we went a bit vegan:
Long grain rice, kidney beans, chic peas and some vegetables.
A large naval orange for dessert and Peroni lager to drink.

Tonight, a home made "pizza":
(The word pizza has been put in inverted commas as it was not made in a wood-fired oven - sorry Marco!)
King prawns in a tomato, onion, garlic, ginger and basil sauce, with some vegetables on the side.
A bowl of muesli with yogurt for dessert, and some more Peroni lager to drink.

It also looks more like a supermarket bought garlic flatbread which I suspect would offend Marco more.Tonight, a home made "pizza":

Yes, that is what it was. It was an experiment which turned out well.
