Fascinating about the word ember. Need to find out about the its use as a suffix for some months of the year now!

My grandmother taught me about Viking with parsley as a key ingredient rather than as a garnish. I love the depth of flavour it gives to a dish.

I like the idea of Viking with parsley 😂 Did that autocorrect from 'cooking'? Bonus points if you can find the autocorrect in Ember Days, which I only spotted after publication!

I had lentil and bacon soup this week, so definitely entering my ember phase too (fascinating about the entomology btw). But I shall come back to this and use half of my guanciale (saving the other half for a proper carbonara!) thank goodness for the new Lidl, hey!

Etymology not entomology! No insects here! 😂

I did exactly the same! Carbonara for half, pasta e fagiole for half. Let's hope they have some more in next time I visit!
