It sounds annoying. The only upside is that she seems to be defeating herself each time.

Mmm, just had an absolutely delicous courgette and mushroom pie. Mushrooms from the wild (my gf assures me they're edible - I shall know by tonight) and an egg from our chicken coop. Maybe, one day, it'll be our courgettes!

Courgettes, like aubergines, are vegetables that I have never really seen the point of. Not keen on the texture when cooked, and their native flavour is stubbornly indistinct.

I've never had courgettes without a bit of flavouring or mixed in with other ingredients. On their own, I can imagine they're not very exciting.

Ew courgettes are vile and I should very much like to stomp on every single courgette plant in existence. If I want tasteless sludgy green gunk in my food I'll leave it in a stagnant pond for a month.

Sludgy? They sound overcooked. They're better crisp, or soft but still solid.

You guys are crazy. Grilled courgettes and egg plants are amazing, and it's so easy. It really brings out their inner flavor. And then there's stuff like baba ghanoush.

They're definitely prone to overcooking if you prepare them differently though. Or making your dish watery. Best try to extract some of the water with some salt, first, especially with courgettes.

If you ever decide to grow courgettes, though, be prepared for more courgette than you ever thought of consuming in a year.

Translation for Americans: courgette = zucchini, aubergine = eggplant

Happy: I'm back home in the States after 15 months abroad. It's weird, but good, to be back

Stuffed marrow is nice.

Marrow is just a big courgette. A courgette is a little marrow.

Courgettes/zucchini and aubergines/eggplant are delicious when done right. When done wrong, they can be horrible. They're also an acquired taste: it wasn't until I became a vegetarian that I started liking imam bayildi (cold eggplant/zucchini/other vegetable salad).

Happy: starting my first day tutoring engineers in writing. No lessons to prep and no essays to grade!!!

I am 19 today.

Happy Birthday to me.

I do have to wonder, though: what happens if another Pole joins the board? Then our Pole won't be the Pole anymore.

It would be like films: the first one is The Pole, the second one would be The Pole II.
