The electrician this week had to make a big hole in my wall and the solar installer said not to bother patching it yet because they’ll have to make it even bigger so I’m debating fucking around and punching a hole in this wall just for funsies

And once you have a puree (left), you’re gonna add a whole pot of crème fraiche. If the soup has cooled bring it back to hot. Do not skip the crème fraiche. Oatly makes a great vegan one. And then salt and white pepper to taste and you’re done!

okay that’s been about an hour and the potatoes are very easily mashing on the side of the pot. Remove the herbs, cut the heat, and stir it some to let it cool a tiny bit.

Forgot the photo there. And then add your herbs- rosemary, thyme, and whole black peppercorns. I put them in empty teabags or cheesecloth to make it easier to get them out at the end, I really recommend fresh. Sage is also nice. Now bring this to the boil, cover, and simmer.

Once the alcohol has cooked off (you can tell by the smell), tip your peeled and chopped potatoes in. Size again doesn’t matter but the smaller they are, the faster it cooks. You just want uniform size.

Once they’re limp, tip in like a glass of white wine, and bring to a simmer for just a couple minutes while stirring. If you don’t cook with alcohol, use apple juice.

Once the bacon is starting to crisp, tip your leeks in. Or start here to go vegan, use veggie oil. You want to sauté until kinda limp. I do not use garlic (I know) in this but if you want, add it for thirty seconds at the end

Give that an occasional stir while the fat renders, and wash and slice your leeks. At no point in this recipe does size or shape of ingredient matter; it gets pureed at the end. I do this because it’s easiest to wash. You do want a 1:2 ratio of leek:potato.

my potato leek recipe as a walkthrough: there are no measurements, none at all, this is purely on vibes. Okay? Okay. Sauté your bacon in a big hunk of butter. Or skip this step to go vegan.

I am actually wrong again, I got confused because my MiL died in October and the filing date is Oct 31 for paperwork regardless of when they died. But the point is there’s stuff to send by Oct 31, not Jan 31
Screencap from hmrc: After you've registered an estate
HMRC will send you a UTR for the estate within 15 working days. Use this to either:
• fill in a Trust and Estate Tax Return (form
SA900) and post it to HMRC by the 31
October of the following tax year
• send a return online using tax software that supports SA900 reporting by 31 January of the following tax year
You must pay any tax due by the next 31
January following the tax year in your return (the same deadline as for sending a return

chicken was falling off the bone so whilst I wait a second for it to cool, I forked all the carrots into kiddie bite size pieces and also scraped the bottom, tiny bit of burnt cabbage and skin (probably started the heat too high)
