Hello #ffconf from Pippin

Enjoyed Chet's talk a lot even if he did call us all influencers 😲

First try making my own dumplings (including the casings). Filled with pork, garlic and ginger. Fried to make the bottoms crispy then steamed the rest of the way. A bit lumpy and misshapen, but delcious!

Ate with some steamed pak choi (not pictured) 😋

First time making my own pasta. Don't have the equipment so just rolled out with a rolling pin. Made up a sauce as I went along with shallots, a white wine reduction, chick stock and lemon juice (not sure if sauce has a name, but is delicious). Pleased with it, good texture and very tasty 😋

And now all those pistachios are a small amount of paste. Ready to go into the cheese cake!

I should really start buying pistachios already shelled. Going to make my cheese cake taste good though! #cooking

Builders doing work on my patio. One of the labourer lads comes in to use the loo and sees me playing the new(ish) Indiana Jones game. Asks if I've played spiderman and I said I didn't really enjoy it. His reply is "I guess that's more popular with young people?"

Really getting the hang of bagels now I think.

Going to have them with Salt Beef I've been brining for the last week and some home pickled mini cucumbers.

Bagels!

First time making them, a bit "rustic" looking which I'm fine with. Delicious and chewy just like I wanted 😀

No Sainsbury's I don't think frozen mushrooms make a good substitute for frozen onions!

Incisive political commentary that also happens to be true. #brighton

Our cats have a new toy.
Neither of us bought them a new toy.
Our cats have apparently stolen a new toy from somewhere.

Cauliflower and goat cheese soup topped with croutons, pickled red onions, and, a dash of balsamic glaze. 🍽 #food #cooking

So @bigbluejean.bsky.social has tucked in Pippin with a blanket and a hot water bottle (don't worry it's still warm but not too hot) and I think he's living his best cat life. #cats
