Independent academic now in the charity sector; big dreams of turning my thesis into a book about women, history-writing and the French resistance, some day…
Mainly thinking about food and the random pets I befriend while wandering around.

It’s slight terrifying to be attending an academic event as someone no longer properly in the sector. Hoping to see some friendly faces and French history pals this evening at Hanna Diamond’s talk about Josephine Baker

New recipe 2/52 - slow-cooked garlic and herb lamb shanks with potatoes and tenderstem broccoli.
This was only the second time I’ve cooked lamb in my life, but it turned out so well and I’ll definitely be making it again. Delicious dinner (although served later than usual…)

Today’s lunch break was spent having my hair cut while gossiping and being fed Diet Coke and lotus biscuits. And now… the fringe is BACK!

My 2023 New Year's resolution of a new recipe a week brought me such joy that it needs a comeback.
1/52: braised sweet soy pork belly with jasmine rice and garlicky green beans.
This was truly delicious and super easy - if you can ignore the scent of deliciousness wafting from the kitchen…

Me and my partner have taken time off until Monday to spend time together just us two and today having a chilly walk, going to a local wine bar and making a tasty tea has been so relaxing. A Good Day

Today I got to get rid of my finger splint! There’s still a long road to recovery (my hand will be sore and swollen for a while), but I celebrated by making truly delicious basil tomato spaghetti, which we had along with beautiful rosé and followed by the best custard tarts
