I often have a word of the day. Not an official one, this is not a
challenging quest I set myself, it is more of a ‘that word is stuck in my
brain’ sort of day.
The other day word stuck in my head was exotic.
It started with a discussion about meatloaf (food not ageing rock
star/actor beloved of Rocky Horror and Waynes World). Meatloaf and recipes thereof had been high on
my agenda for a couple of days and I had finally left one baking in the slow
cooker for the day. A key ingredient was
ketchup, not something I cook with often.
This led to a discussion about other ketchup related recipes which led
in turn to ‘sweet and sour’ which inevitably led to pineapple as I don’t eat
sweet and sour food as I don’t like pineapple.
From there we rambled on into pizzas as I wondered whether Hawaiian
pizza was still a thing; apparently it is – and it is made exotic by the
addition of pineapple. So there you have
it, I was set for a day of ‘exotic’.
and it made be briefly think about exotic planting
and at the end of the day I went home and had very
non-exotic meatloaf
But, I don't know anything about Waynetta. I suppose I will just have to continue with the usual stuff that goes round and round my head, nothing as deep as words, just songs from the 60s that wont budge, how shallow am I.
ReplyDeleteWaynetta is from Harry Enfields 1990s comedy programme - she was married to Wayne and had 2 children Frogmella and Spudulika it's bounds to be on YouTube somewhere. I usually have a song stuck in my head too - often ones I don't even like :-)
ReplyDeleteExotic is a good word. What's the blue flower?
ReplyDeleteSome sort of orchid I think - it was when I was on holiday in Thailand a few years ago
