My partner just asked me if prawn cocktail actually has prawns in. I’m afraid he’s not beating the himbo allegations any time soon.

Welcome to the not-so-great-bake-along!

I’m making fondant fancies and making everything in my kitchen a horrible shade of pink.

Help I’ve gone to a festival and I’m suddenly feeling all of my years (and a few more for good measure)

MY INNER EMO KID IS SO HAPPY!

Made a dirty Kalamata martini with tomato & oregano salt on the rim, an excellent use of the souvenirs my sister brought me home from Spain (duty-free gin and flavoured salts - she knows me well)

I haven’t posted much recently because I’ve been trying to be less online (for the morbs, you understand) so I’ve been sewing stuff instead.

Can’t believe I learned that Tom Lehrer passed away from a Supernatural meme.

Going to go and poison a pigeon in the park in his honour.

We got so, so normal about this. Kim for the next episode of @makeyefretpod.bsky.social (out on the 10th, as is the book!)
Discussing Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil with @2hatsjo.bsky.social has already lead to multiple tangents. (Bloody good book, though, you’re going to want to read it on launch day.)

April Fools!

Alright, we’re not actually becoming a full-time Gormenghast podcast. Life is simply too short.

BUT, we will be covering the first book in the trilogy (Titus Grown) this very month! And there’s plenty of delights in store for the rest of the year.

A new journey begins…
We’re finally back and embarking on a brand new journey!

Announcing GORMENCAST, in which we’ll be reading and recapping every book in Mervyn Peake’s Gormenghast trilogy, a chapter at a time.

We can’t wait to wander this sprawling castle with you!

Genuinely gutted to hear Michelle Trachtenberg has passed away. She was fantastic. As Dawn in Buffy she made an impossible story work, and she stole every scene of Gossip Girl she appeared in. She’s going to be missed.

This weekend’s cocktail hour features crab cakes with dill creme fraiche and a French (Italian - I used Prosecco) 75. (This is a cocktail hour/starter hybrid because Valentines is this month’s excuse to cook a fancy 3-course dinner.)

Wishing a very happy Severance/Yellowjackets/White Lotus weekend to all those who celebrate

(It’s me, I’m those who celebrate, and I am ready to THEORISE)

Broke the 10,000 word mark on my fiction WIP today!

This weekend’s sourdough fuckery: can I make a loaf that tastes like stuffing?

Fingers crossed

I feel very strongly that this might not suck. (Heh) On the plus side, if it does, no one is taking away the original!
A ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ revival series is in the works with Sarah Michelle Gellar expected to return.
