#PopQuiz BlueSkyVerse!

I'm looking for your opinions on festive mincemeat!

Do you prefer a treasured family recipe?
Something different each year?
Vegan? Vegetarian?
Can't stand the stuff?? (if so, interested to know why)

I'm all ears!

#TodayInMyKitchen Figgy Pudding quandaries.

1st recipe: old school, just figs, cinnamon, nutmeg.
2nd recipe: figs, lemon zest & juice, candied citron.

2nd recipe tastes nicer than the first, but you can't taste the figs any more.

Is it still a Figgy Pudding if it no longer tastes of figs? 🤔

New Blog Post - Stuffing Loaf!

All the feisty flavours of your favourite stuffing, but in a loaf!

Perfect for making those Day After toasted sandwiches!

Either with cold cuts or with warm slices chicken/turkey and gravy 😋

#TodayInMyKitchen Roasting Chickens

1. Put chickens on rack.
2. Slosh water under rack.
3. Bake 4 hours @ 120°C Fan.

(Optional) For a rich colour, brush skin with eggwhite.

Not yours. The chicken's. (See pic).

And that's it. #NoFaff™

#TodayInMyKitchen Just had a delivery of sugar crystals - neither expensive nor important - but I'm touched by the care & attention given to my order. Beautiful recyclable paper & tissue packaging & a bonus flyer of hints for optimal tea-making.

#TodayInMyKitchen Trying out a new-to-me Italian snack.
Got 2 recipes of approx. the same quantities.
One tells me to bake at 200C for 30 mins, the other says it should be 1 hour.
Me trying to work out optimum baking strategy:

More simple, quick supper ideas - this one based on the eastern European dish Haluski.

Cabbage/kale/brussels sprouts & pasta - fresh or dried.
A couple of onions, butter & pepper and vwa - as they say - la! 😋

Add some bacon/fakon/ham if you like

#TodayInMyKitchen Reaping the rewards of some freezer spelunking last night.

Found some already-prepared damson puree from last year, & whipped up a batch of my damson ice-cream in just 10 minutes.

So happy breakfast ice-cream is a thing. 😋

Do any of the gentlemen's trousers have the correct drape/fit?

Behold! A map!
No, as you might think at first glance a map of temperature - no, no. Something FAR more important.
The age-old question of: Pain Chocolat or Chocolatine? 🤔

Are you outraged!?
