Is there a name for the mid point between high and low tides?
  • I think you're right about slack and stand, and ebb and flood would work but it's usually just a glimpse when I drive over a bridge that makes me think about it, so I don't know which way it's going.

  • I grew up on the coast, so I never really thought about tides just that that was the way it was. Then I married someone from a landlocked country and every time we drive over the bridge over the cove near our house I comment when the tide is high or low since they are used to lakes, and I'm never quite sure what to say when it's in the middle.

    Half-tide doesn't sound right to me, slack-tide is something else entirely, my google-fu has failed me.

    Farinata, Socca, or about a dozen other names for Chick Pea flour pancake

    Recipe: https://www.themediterraneandish.com/farinata-recipe . It cooks a bit like a Dutch baby, but you have to soak the flour longer and it doesn't puff up.

    Left is with onions and herb de province, right is artichokes and dill, both were tasty.

    Vegetables with tofu and pumpkin curry sauce - weeknight dinner.

    (optional)Toss tofu cubes in corn starch and spices, fry, set aside.

    In a large pan, Stir fry vegetables (carrots, onions, bell pepper, bamboo shoots, zucchini, chili to taste,) and some green (or red or something else, I'm not the boss of you) curry paste until they get a little wok hay.

    Add some water and soy sauce to deglaze, then add one can of coconut milk, one can of pumpkin puree, one glob of creamy peanut butter and some more curry paste, simmer until vegetables are almost done.

    Add tofu cubes (pro-tip put the block of tofu on a cutting board in the sink, put another cutting board on top, then put a couple of cans on top of that. Let drain for at least 15 minutes.) and simmer to warm through.

    Serve over rice.

    En guete!

    Nasi Goreng, 2nd generation leftovers, top 5 breakfast.

    1st generation leftovers.

    Leftover ribs fried rice- cooked and cooled rice, diced pork, frozen vegetables thawed, basil, sambal badjek, pineapple chunks, fish sauce, 2 eggs beaten, soy sauce, other ingredients to taste. Fry.

    2nd generation leftovers.

    Nasi Goreng a la Bule - put fried rice in bowl, add a splash of water, crack eggs on top of rice, cover, microwave using the reheat 5 setting in my microwave plus one minute on 100% for a beautifully runny yolk. Top with fish sauce and hot sauce of choice, shown with Pick-a-Peppa because "someone" used the last of the sambal in the fried rice.
