Today didn’t quite go as planned, Son was not great getting up so went back to bed. I went shopping in Dundee, east end. Majestics is between Aldi and Lidl, so dropped. Bit of extra time, made a raspberry frangipane, better than it looks. Evening walk, 4/5 pouring last night. Sleep well.
Red wine tasting at Majestic this morning. 5 red bottles on a warmer plate.A raspberry frangipane before cutting and serving. Pastry was way too wet, too much cold water though it managed to roll and spread into the tin. A miracle. Tasted good and there’s more for tomorrow.Stars in the sky tonight at the end of the evening walk, 4 of 5 this week, it was pouring last night.

Reading through the Guardian an article on gadgets.* Danish Dough Hook New to me purchased First impressions, very good on 500g of dough. Happy baking! 🥰 * there reports of garlic presses being a thing. In the past I have found them to be breakable and unwashable. One said they separated skins! 😳

England's water infrastructure at breaking point. Large part of water network installed 130-150 years ago. Thames Water infrastructure has average age of 79 years; industry average 56 yrs. 40% of TW assets are 100+ yrs old. Must end privatisation, remove profit motive.

Sunday night. Burnt Basque with crushed raspberries. Boy on Twitter who goes through the contents of American food. He did cream cheese recently. Most cream cheese in tubs isn’t cream cheese, not enough fat. Phillie on a foil wrapper block is. Impossible to find. Used mascarpone, 41% fat Lovely 💕
A sixth of a Baked Basque on a bed of crushed raspberries on a white plate and a spoon. Made with mascarpone400g, sugar 60g, soured cream200g, eggs2, salt pinch and cornflour 1.5Tbsp. Absolutely lovely.
