Don't remember exactly, either parsley or coriander. I do burgers and stuff like that too ...

No, but I do enjoy opening a bottle of wine and cooking, be it for someone I like or just for myself.

Spaghetti al aglio olio, with parsley Omelette, with onions and cheese Sofia's pie Spiced sardine and potato stew, african style Chakshuka, or a Berber Omellete of sorts South Italian inspired, sardine and olive spaghetti Tagliatelle bolognese Sauted garlic portobello mushrooms, and tomato salad Penne al broccoli Mum's leftover squid stew, turned into a spaghetti Turmeric rice and peas with chorizo Very much a Lisbon typical dish, Bacalhau à Bras, codfish with straw fries and egg Fava beans and pork stew Spaghetti with courgette and parmesan Tomato and parsley salad, chorizo scrambled eggs, and for dessert season oranges with cinnamon and thyme

Sorry, is this about you buying frozen ground beef? Frozen ground beef?

Indeed, but I didn’t feel like that close an inspection

I didn’t know that!

Thank you, I’ll keep that in mind and call you up if passing.

No, almost raped!

Not really, I don’t really know that area on a bike, but the pyrenees and Mediterranean coast from there to you have some amazing places to ride through. @Tango certainly has a weather app on his phone and he probably knows what he likes regarding heat. If it gets too hot just have some water and point the bike somewhere else with a swimming pool. Regarding Pete, you can count on him to try and embarras you anyway he can!

Motorcycling in 5 months time's fuel costs

I want to do a couple of trips. One is getting on the bike and just going somewhere on small roads in good weather in summer, have no idea where though, or even if I'll venture away from Portugal much. Part of me wants to go somewhere new (new on a bike) like the Pyrenees and crossing France over to somewhere. What I'm feeling like it's time for is Morocco in September / October, but apart from getting my passport renewed for that eventuality I have no real preparations to do, nor fixed plans regarding dates. A bike service before going and that's it.

What a cool statue!

It's rained, and will probably continue through the weekend, I'm not going to complain because Portugal is on a serious draught, animals have no grass to eat, vegetables are being watered instead of rained on, and water reserves are quite low for the season. On top of that the forests are very dry and that usually means a catastrophe once summer comes. Can't see a couple of days of half rainy weather solving that but it's better than nothing. I won't be riding my bike or washing it, though have washed my jacket and will tend to the winter boots today, where is the Pete + washing machine smilie when I need it?

Is it on purpose that there are crosses on her boobs? I used to have a friend who did one of those semesters away in university, in Edinburgh, he absolutely loved it.

It's no choice for a sane person given a choice!

Coca Cola? Smart choice High on sugars, though...

That Japan can mind their own business , UK and US political hypocrites of the highest order, for Switzerland it's just another business day, and for UAE it's just another day in paradise!

What a couple of boring resentful anti Rossi old bastards, you two are!

That is very civilized

Rode home, from the grey moody north where my phone took this weird focus picture And got home in sunny Ribetejo, in time for a late lunch, was very happy to find my almond tree in full bloom

I'd listen to Slowly, @Richzx6r, or maybe even better your doctor after a checkup, a permanent concussion isn´t exactly ideal if you take up racing either.

I almost voted for @Tango, because of the purple (is that purple?) gas tank and the pretty bike, but voted for @Sofia because of the Alentejo hills and trees and sunshine and because it´s an amazing place to ride. And the Speed Triple too

I bet he took it out for the picture. Which is double the risk, as he might not be able to put it back on!

And our weather is quite different, I can’t stand hot bikes in the summer, the GS is my limit.

Southern Portugal at it’s best!
