Fast beans, pulses, grains, soups, curries. You can cook your vegetables in moments - and pressure cooking has been shown to nerve best method nutritionally for preserving nutrients and also ridding of anti nutrients. Invaluable for a vegetarian! (Pressure cooking here, not slow cooking!)

Wasn't going to make a stock but a veg stock only takes 5 minutes in the pressure cooker per @catherinephipps.bsky.social 's instructions so it'd be criminal not to

Making a chicken stew in the pressure cooker using @catherinephipps.bsky.social recipe. Some stir fried brussels on the side with lemon and Parmesan. Wine. Never had duck livers but eat a lot of chicken ones, esp on risotto.

Same here with Adam. 15 and eating all the carbs.

Children are odd. Adam suddenly takes dislikes to things and just as suddenly loves them again.

This morning I was flipping through @catherinephipps.bsky.social's 'Modern Pressure Cooking' again with my morning coffee. One thing lead to another and instead of the planned beef stew a seafood boil appeared on the table. 😁
A big pink shallow bowl on a black kitchen counter. It's filled with a seafood boil; there's whole shrimp, chunks of corn, sausage bits, potatoes, etc.

Made a version of @catherinephipps.bsky.social Keema Peas for lunches this week, throwing in random bits I had to hand. Delicious and I’m still stuffed 3 hours after lunch ❤️ www.stylist.co.uk/food-drink/l...

When you have Covid and cannot focus on anything and then you switch on Netflix and the second season of My Life with the Walter Boys pops up. Dross but very watchable dross and just what I need.

I am reading O Caledonia for the first time and it is sweeping me along, despite being awestruck by writing and observation on every page. I got out of bed just to go downstairs and read my husband a paragraph about false teeth which had me heave with the horror of it.

Parents! Carers! Anyone with children doing science GCSEs! A lot of you are buying revision guides for school year ahead. These help with exam preparation but provide no depth of knowledge or context about why science is important and worth knowing. “Why Don’t Things Fall Up?” does, and is just £3

I am very annoyed with myself for finishing it on the day it came out. As usual. Worked for most of the day too.

Adam decided to make hot cross buns as he didn’t get enough last weekend. I was out for most of it. Bombarded by messages asking to buy sugar, yeast, raisins, allspice berries, all of which were exactly where they were supposed to be. But he got there in the end. Not all cross at my request!

I have just had the experience of my bone conduction headphones being bluejacked. A forced disconnect from my phone and a really creepy voice saying over and over again something like PS CREAM. Bit deaf so not sure. Factory reset seems to have worked….

And the rice pudding was so easy since done in instant pot - as per recipe from @catherinephipps.bsky.social I usually go with some combination of vanilla, bay leaf and lemon zest but this was great

Also please note, I pressure cooked literally every stage of this, separately: mince; leeks; potatoes. Only turned the grill on to toast up the cheese on the leeks. YAY for @catherinephipps.bsky.social + her amazingly thorough book Modern Pressure Cooking 🧡

Luckily we hadn’t booked it! There were loads of last minute offers on and I’d just decided on a place in Mevagissey when Adam came home from school really unwell.

Today I am mourning the loss of a rare and glorious day of the house entirely to myself for 6 whole hours. Instead I have swapped office bound husband for sofa bound sick son. Of course I am sorry he is ill but peace shattered. Plus 5 day break to Cornwall scuppered.

It is their unpredictability which makes me nervous as a pedestrian and a driver. I think they should have licence plates as it might make them follow the Highway Code.

LOATHE cyclists who bully pedestrians. There are too many of them and they are frequently much more dangerous than car drivers. I know that post rage shaking is horrible but well done for standing up to him.

Gloomy day today but the birdsong almost makes up for it. Merlin recorded (I can ID a lot birds but not all of these!) - blackbird, song thrush, dunnock, robin, goldfinch, greenfinch, wren, long tailed, blue and great tits, greater spotted woodpecker, as well as all the bigger & water birds.
View down the canal from the towpath, one lock and single storey cottage in the distance, high brick wall to the left, trees and shrubs to the right, reflected in the water. Matt grey sky.

Can second this. I’ve been buying from them for years and they are excellent quality. As well as online, Londoners can find them at the Chiswick Flower Market, first Sunday of the month.
