A reminder of this delicious recipe of you somehow have too much cheese left that is on its last legs...
kavey.bsky.social Kavey @kavey.bsky.social · 15d
Here's a recipe that was born out of leftovers but which we now buy ingredients specifically to make:
Kavey's Cheeseboard & Chutney Quiche

Quiche in its cooking dish at the back. In the foreground, two slices cut from the quiche on a chopping board with a knife. Next to them, a small pot of chutney with a spoon. On the table, festive red Christmas placemats and various silver Christmas decorations.

What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

Rice
Pasta
Potatoes
Bread

When I tried low carb for a few months, it really crystallised that I'm far more into rice and noodles (which I include in pasta) than potatoes or bread. Bread was easiest to give up, rice almost impossible! I guess my Asian genetics are somewhat activated after all!

10. Rank these carbs from best to worst: potatoes, rice, pasta and bread.

Have you heard about NHS insourcing? It’s basically allowing private companies to use NHS facilities, equipment and staff to run a medical business and make millions. While framing it as helping reduce waiting lists.

I think this is the most mind-boggling form of NHS privatisation right now - and hardly anyone knows about it🚨

Wish I could internalize this
brightwanderer I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned "forever" into the only acceptable definition of success. Like... if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it's a "failed" business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don't actually want to keep doing that, you're a "failed" writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it's a "failed" marriage. The only acceptable "win condition" is "you keep doing that thing forever". A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a "real" friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a "phase" - or, alternatively, a "pity" that you don't do that thing any more. A fandom is "dying" because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things. I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it's okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success... I don't think that's doing us any good at all.

It's the time of the year when I share recipes from Kavey Eats that I think work well for Christmas! First up, my mum's tandoori roast leg of lamb. We have it with the usual British Christmas dinner sides and trimmings!

Roast leg of lamb in its cooking dish, with some slices taken off, exposing the pink interior. On a plate infront, some of the lamb and a little raita. Christmas crackers also in shot. Roast leg of lamb in its cooking dish and a bowl of raita to the side.

Am a bit bummed not to go out for lunch yesterday or today before returning to work but am way too full of snot and sleepiness for it to be feasible, plus don't want to spread my germs.

So Pete's just suggested we have a Matsudai ramen kit from the freezer for lunch! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

I was putting together a short reading list for my students on genAI in education and there was a comment in this article that really resonated with me for a few reasons. It's a long comment, but it closes with "Using AI in school is like using a forklift at the gym."

I'm so full of crappy cold today that I've spent most of the day doing 3 things: blowing my nose (which is producing gallons), sleeping, and repeatedly reapplying sudacrem to my nostrils!

But I did just have leftovers of mum's chicken curry that she sent us home with for dinner and it was so good!

January 3, 2000: The final daily edition of the Peanuts comic strip.
In this Peppermint Patty-focused Peanuts strip, she enthusiastically continues playing a game of football in a heavy downpour, even after everyone else has left the field. Her loyal friend Marcie eventually arrives with an umbrella to tell her it’s time to go home because it’s getting dark. The comic ends with a poignant moment of realization as a muddy Peppermint Patty laments that no one stayed to shake hands and say, "good game." PEANUTS Dear Friends, I have been fortunate to draw Charlie Brown and his friends for almost 50 years. It has been the fulfillment of my childhood ambition. Unfortunately, I am no longer able to maintain the schedule demanded by a daily comic strip, therefore I am announcing my retirement. I have been grateful over the years for the loyalty of our editors and the wonderful support and love expressed to me by fans of the comic strip. Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, Lucy... how can I ever forget them.... Charles M. Schulz (Image includes a drawing of Snoopy sitting atop his doghouse with a typewriter.)
