Little Nemo Mar 2020 7:26pm, 16 Mar 2020 10,202 posts	0 Little Nemo That sounds interesting, mulbs. I've seen turmeric lattes advertised locally but never been brave enough to try one. Maybe once my quarantine is over I should give one a go! Today's newt is my first experimental store cupboard pasta dish: last of the shallots, half a red pepper, dried mushrooms, can of tuna, frozen sweetcorn and (an old trick from student days!) a mushroom cup-a-soup
