Does anyone else’s dachshund *breathe* at them regularly simply for a) attention and b) “come be RIGHT NEXT TO US” (= attention). All other needs have been accounted for.
This happens a lot when I’m trying to work which can be VERY ANNOYING.
And she’s ceasing the minute I point a camera at her 🤨

Hit me with your best ideas for cooking a whole duck #whatscooking 🍽️
Never done, but I have a 🦆 cluttering up my freezer. I was thinking Peking duck or duck a la orange 🍊, but not sure I have time or energy for either rn. Simpler roast duck and duck fat potatoes maybe?

The tap dancing act that occurs virtually every time I return from anywhere. I had the temerity to be gone for TWO HOURS today.
Meanwhile baby flouff runs around spinning in circles and yelping. Today she legged off with my slipper in her excitement.

Love my lazy pups happily indulging me in a mental health morning WFB(ed). We’ve had a week and need our energies for more big changes ahead.

Baby Flouff gets great joy out of hunting skinks - they’re typically small enough she might even stand a fighting chance.

Almost veggie bolognese made in the slow cooker with dried black lentils (and a small amount of smoked speck - hence the almost).
I like it when a little bit of meat goes a long way flavour wise. It’s amazing how meaty this tastes.

I didn’t plan on a sausage dog but McKenzie nudged me back to hope | Debbie Elkind
First-time dog owner Debbie Elkind was worried how she’d fare with her new dachshund. Then she fell in love with her ‘ridiculous, beautiful’ animal

I miss having someone to cook for, so it was nice to make even this simple, casual meal for a visiting friend. Roast beef, potatos and gravy with what’s-in-the-crisper salad (asparagus, capsicum, cherry tomatoes, capers & feta).

I wrote a piece about these little idiot loves-of-my-life, and it’s going to be published soon in The Guardian, so that’s delightful 🥰
And I may have found my dream house-cottage with a beautiful garden… although some cashed-up Airbnb investor will probably out-bid me 🤞🙏

New cooking hack: frozen chopped onions & jarred minced garlic. Normally I’d turn my nose up at these. But sometimes it’s the thought of chopping onions & mincing garlic that stops me cooking a good meal for myself. So, F it. I’m embracing the ease. #whatscooking 🍽️

Made this Brazilian Coconut Chickpea Curry because I had an excess of canned chickpeas. Not a pretty dish but very tasty. Also vegan if you don’t add yoghurt like I did.

When my mum died I cooked her dishes. Now my father has there’s nothing to make as he was just the worst cook. He was so proud of his efforts too. I once scraped a birthday breakfast he made me into a plastic bag and smuggled it out via a window. I guess that’s a form of love too. #whatscooking 🍽️

Life’s been a bit much lately, with multiple forms of grief and an injury. But I made some good bread and learned how to make tempeh taste great - steam, marinate, fry. I’d not had success cooking it before but I really like it this way. #whatscooking 🍽️🥣

Poor baby flouff was shivering this morning. Usually she meeps at me if she’s cold in the night & I snuggle her up.
We both need ☀️ Apparently I have a ‘severe’ vitamin D deficiency, which I didn’t think was even possible in Australia. Not only am I fair-skinned AF but I may not absorb it properly 🧛♀️
