Good morning Bluesky. Today we start the long journey to a homemade #chamoy sauce. The first step is to pickle these 3kg of plums from my orchard, while the chile de árbol continues growing in the greenhouse.

There are still piles of books everywhere, but having a target space for them now is a huge step in the right direction

Finally got some of the books corralled into what used to be a kitchen. Slowly but surely this old cottage is becoming a proper office space.

A nice bottle of one of my favorite "salad wines", the 2023 etiqueta ámbar from Granzabán in Pontevedra. Perfect for a day spent cooking and avoiding writing.

A set of the two Realm of Chaos books. I've bought them twice and lost them twice (once to a flood, once to a mean-spirited ex). But if I can only have one of them, then The Lost and the Damned

Absolutely the best food film recently. No surprise that it's based on a nonfiction book by a former zen monk taught cooking according to Dōgen's Tenzo Kyōkun -- Instructions to the Zen Cook. #foodsky #filmsky #zen
