If you think Lauren Edwards and this assisted suicide bill will protect vulnerable people or those with disabilities, it’s worth knowing this MP has a very coloured history of using ableist slurs

I have released a new cookbook! It’s called The Home Cook Book, and if you are a home cook and in need of a cookbook then you can find it on Amazon!

Merry Christmas. Post-communion ‘99 Chateau d’Yquem. Arguably the nicest dessert wine produced. Lovely start to the day.

Christmas tree acquired, hope it’s big enough

Made carbonara for dinner. I think a large part of why I find it so comforting is that it has so many of the major food groups in a quick and easy meal: meat, eggs, dairy, cereals. There’s salt, and there’s a little spice from the pepper. It’s a perfect dish.

Table set for nine for supper tonight chez moi. Lasagne is perfect for large dinners – cook it in advance and simply reheat in the oven, serve with a salad and homemade vinaigrette. Hard to beat.

Tonight’s dinner is a simple harissa béchamel pasta. It’s quick and easy, taking only as long as the pasta takes to cook. Recommend.

Butter chicken for supper. Recommend making a huge amount of this stuff at once and freezing individual portions – delicious homemade dinner just reheated from frozen.

Finally got some wall lights installed in the hallway. Having the chandelier as the only light source was a bit much. I’d like to find some nice coloured & patterned lampshades for them, but it’s already a big improvement.

This is what British and Irish food is all about. Roasted wild shot pheasant breast, sage & onion stuffing, roasted carrots & parsnips, buttered leeks, and red wine beef gravy. Hard to beat.

After 10-15 minutes, the eggs should be a nice consistency where the white is cooked but the yolks are still runny. Slice a lemon in half and squeeze some fresh juice from one half over the top of your meal.

Once thickened up, using a wooden spoon make some little holes in the tomato and, one by one, crack the eggs in. They will now cook in this liquid – it’s like poaching in water, only you’re cooking them in a tomato sauce instead. Don’t cover the pan or it’ll not thicken.
