The importance of comments
If you go back through the comments of the last few days you can see thoughts on popcorn and on curries. Put them together and you get curry-flavoured popcorn? Umm. Maybe put them together and you start to see the foodways of the people who read this blog, which are part of the future’s culinary history.
And yes, my sagacity of the second is strange and not-quite-there. We had the first thunderstorms of summer today you see, and it isn’t summer for a month. None of the summer fruit is ripe enough to celebrate thunderstorms. Cherries are not due their first appearance before Tuesday. Mind you, cherries will be even more expensive than bananas this year. Australians abroad will be remarkable for their dedication to eating cherries or bananas. Or maybe banana splits topped with cherries which is, I believe, of US origin. Very suitable for fruit-deprived travellers.
It will be a long, long summer and I might have to look into icecream history to survive it. I am tempted right now to measure up my patio and to dream of turning it into an 18th century icehouse where I can take refuge. Except if the ice all melts at once then it will flood my lounge room.

Yum. Banana split.
Just not a curry-flavored banana split.
Though…cherry ice-cream would be good.
Ok. I’m hungry now.

Just not curry-flavoured cherry icecream. The thought of it makes me suddenly not hungry :).
