iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

It's all those pretendy ones, scammers - they're not real people. I am still on Instagram a bit but I find that almost unusable these days. The algorithm is borked and I scarcely see any of the people I follow.

When I joined Bluesky, I got thousands of followers but the vast majority of them were bots and lonely, retired American generals - it was hard to sift through the trash to find my friends. I couldn't block them faster than they came so I gave up.

Hello love! I just can't keep up with all the different platforms. Now I am mostly in the Notes part of the Substack app and on Threads. Miss all my old pals though. x

You can really customise it just as you like. Not sure about green peppers though, because of their edge of bitterness.

So I made Debora’s @lickedspoon.bsky.social prawn & avocado salad (with a couple of tweaks) and it was fabulous. 🦐🥑🥗 #homecooking #sevilla #spain Follow Debora on substack for lots of great stories and recipes from the south of France. open.substack.com/pub/deboraro...

I am delighted! I love that dressing and use it for crudités all the time. Another nice thing to use in the salad is thinly sliced radishes.

A box of Fortnum & Mason marrons glacés.

As many of us begin Christmas meal prep, allow me to share the advice that my ER nurse sister puts in the chat every year: A dropped knife has no handle. Jump away. Let it fall. You can pick it up and wash it.

It makes it really easy not to buy them. Quality Street is the same. I realise now I was only buying them for the spangly papers.

It's a sorry, business, Suzanne. I did just have a mince pie though, so not all is lost.

I know this means I may never be allowed back into the UK, but Quality Street lost its appeal when they replaced their pretty, spangly wrappers with the dull, slightly Soviet ones (I know,I know, for entirely reasonable planet-saving reasons). So it has to be Marrons glacés.

I substituted the eggs for duck eggs and milk with geese fat and it came out terrible!! Please write in the recipe when reasonable substitutions cannot be made.

Let me break this down for you.Duck eggs instead of chicken eggs? That's actually fine. Duck eggs work in eggnog. That's not your problem.
Goose fat instead of milk? Goose fat is a solid cooking fat for roasting potatoes. Milk is a liquid dairy product. They are not interchangeable You essentially made hot melted goose fat with duck eggs. Of course it was terrible.
Bottom line: If you fundamentally change the structure of a recipe by using completely different ingredients with entirely different properties, you're not making eggnog. You're conducting a failed science experiment. Make it again with actual dairy and report back.
