What to write – my mojo is around … trouble is I have too many mojos … where to start – but today January continues, named after Janus, the god of beginnings and transitions … which we seem to have succumbed to …
So towards food I go … would you like some chips? – they come pre-prepared, par-cooked and lightly salted … if you would – please be ready for a cold dip!! A container's worth has disgorged itself onto our coast … nothing like a view of Beachy Head with chips!!

The walker who apparently spotted them first … could smell vinegar … not what one expects from a shoreline.

A Canadian blogging friend from days of yore (2010 days of yore!!) … has had a similar health problem to me – so she's offered to give me some clues and I can at least have some idea of what the future holds. I just remembered her situation from a few years ago – and so emailed to ask her for some guiding help: I'm very relieved to say.

I've no idea what I'm doing … but this will suffice before February rocks around …
However – I'd never realised 'Mojo' is a sauce from the Canary Islands … also that there are a lot of Mojos in the world … live and learn again, I guess!!
We are living in very odd times … take care to you all in the cold, the heat down under and just generally …

Great to hear from you, Hilary, and to know that your mojo has kicked back in. Who knew that mojo came in a jar? As for English chips they are the world’s best. Only the Brits know how to do them properly. The best thing of all is that they are big and fat and thereby retain their heat. Here, people seem to prefer shoestring potatoes which are cold almost before you start to eat them, let alone work your way through to the end. A dusting of salt and malt vinegar are perfect. Here the practice is to dip them in ketchup so that basically what you taste is ketchup. British chips should be declared a world heritage food! Very best wishes - David
Seeing all of those chips on the beach must've been wild. Glad people are cleaning up the bags. By the way, there are cookies here in the States called Chips Ahoy. Delicious and really bad for you!
