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.

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.)

I’ve only gone and bloody done it lads. STUFFING SOURDOUGH. This might be the greatest think I’ve ever baked.
February 7, 2025 at 1:49 PM
More deliciousness added during the shaping process, and now my stuffing sourdough can have a nice snooze in the fridge overnight
February 6, 2025 at 8:14 PM
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?

Continued the delicious theme by serving dinner in a massive Yorkshire pudding

The constant onslaught of diet-culture nonsense in January always builds to a critical mass of me needing to make all the delicious things by the end of the month.

Today’s effort is a BEAUTIFUL rosemary and apple sourdough. I love her.

Cocktail hour this weekend features parsnip rosti with hourseradish sour cream and pickled apple, and a Gimlet (a delicious drink with a terrible name.)

Absolutely delighted with today’s vinyl purchase.

January is horrible, I’ve had a frustrating day and the world is terrifying, so I’ve instigated Friday cocktail hour. Tonight, feat. Caesar salad crostini and a dirty martini.

Have I ever made chocolate lava cake before? Nope! Did I bother looking up a recipe or did I just improv something based entirely on Jon Favreau in Chef shouting “frozen ball of ganache”? Absolutely!

It worked though. It’s fucking molten.

First full read of the year - Enchantee by Gita Trelease - given to me by Christmas by someone who said “I saw this and knew you’d love it” and they were right!

Magic in Marie-Antoinette’s court, with a hot air balloon to boot. A delight, couldn’t put it down. #booksky

Continuing to not let my lack of an oven get in the way of a delicious dinner (admittedly, not particularly photogenic tapas)
December 31, 2024 at 10:25 PM
Forgot to take assembly pics, but I’ve got a collar, the ends are weaved in, and it’s time to block aggressively!
December 29, 2024 at 3:25 PM
Sleeve 2 is complete, knitted mostly during The Two Towers (extended edition, obvs)

Now I can assemble the bastard and actually try it on!
December 27, 2024 at 9:14 PM
Takes more than a broken oven and sprained ankle to stop me from making a huge dinner!
December 25, 2024 at 4:10 PM
I have a sleeve! One more to go and I can actually start assembling the bastard! And weaving in ends! My least favourite!

Going live in 10 minutes and I look ADORABLY festive
