😍 I buy the Tyrells furrows salted flavour when on offer and I might have to stop doing that because I ate the whole sharing bag by myself far too quickly!

I had some very non cohesive food Heated up a frozen joong - thought it was savoury but nope, it was a sweet one. Still ate it with the broccoli and oyster sauce 😎 Was still hungry so followed with sardines on toast - to use up a half tin Bet you are happier with yours now 😆 Bet you don’t e

Made an enormous pot of pork rib & daikon soup in the instant pot - not a looker but very comforting

Watching the maraschino cherries sink in the marmalade jars (Old Fashioned flavour) made me think of a weird version of Pooh sticks. But maybe they will remain pleasingly suspended 😎

And finally the Good Morning Breakfast blend. Seville, blood orange & ruby grapefruit. This might be my final batch for #marmalade2026

Couple more batches of #marmalade2026 - firstly, Seville & fennel seed.

Update on #marmalade2026 Batch no.2: Old Fashioned Seville w/a maraschino cherry in the pot Batch no.3: Dark & Moody (Demerara and dark muscovado sugar, plus treacle since I ran out of the dark sugar) w/ whisky. Quite a firm set on the first, I suspect a loose set on the second.

🤣 You wouldn’t get that with tea - which I remember you calling an insipid leaf beverage 😎 But then life would be less fun wouldn’t it?

Yours looks fantastic! I have frozen gooseberries in freezer so may be tempted tomorrow. Thank you for the nudge.

Custard in this weather I think. Although now I really want crumble too 🤣

You are very kind 🥰

Standard Seville marmalade - no booze or other additions. Friend said she doesn’t know who I am any more 🤣

That sounds delicious Did some batch cooking so braised chicken wings with shiitake mushrooms, broccoli for greenery and rice

Yin @yinkli.bsky.social · 29/07/2025
And similar dinner tonight Samosa, lamb shish kebab, bhatura, tomato & cucumber salad, and still with the copious coriander chutney Cake for afters

Yin @yinkli.bsky.social · 28/07/2025
Some left over Indian takeaway - bengan bartha (deliciously smokey) with added fried egg for protein, gobi paratha and a couple of veg pakora. Copious amounts of coriander chutney. Not a looker but very delicious

Sounds lovely Was hungrier than expected so dug out frozen fish, chips and petit pois. Added butter poached carrots for more health .. allegedly Strawberries and vanilla yoghurt to follow

Yin @yinkli.bsky.social · 14/06/2025
Thank you. It was very happy making. Hope all well with you. Was thinking I must message soon :)

Yin @yinkli.bsky.social · 14/06/2025
That sounds lovely. It’s steak for me tonight. A rarity but am enjoying it very much .. with mushrooms and onions on rocket and tomato salad. Maybe strawberries after

Yin @yinkli.bsky.social · 14/06/2025
That looks great - and it was steak here tonight too :)

Sadly it’s now closed. But it was a lovely place. Are you in Leeds for anything exciting?

Eggs and asparagus with anchovy dressing* on toast * Anchovy dressing is overstating it - smooshed up anchovies in hot oil

Yin @yinkli.bsky.social · 14/05/2025
Also had salmon here, with some white asparagus, new potatoes and (ready made) hollandaise

Siu yuk from freezer, with kimchi and broccoli and rice. Might have some aubergines to use up so maybe those on the side too.

Yin @yinkli.bsky.social · 29/04/2025
Oh no! Hope you feel better soon!

I have spent about 45 mins clearing my inbox of 300 emails, most of which were pointless subscriptions Let’s see if that unsubscribe function actually worked!

Now eating toasted panettone with marmalade … and it made me think of you 🧡

Yin @yinkli.bsky.social · 16/04/2025
Pasta - but trying a jar of clam + tomato sauce from Ocado, with pasta and spinach for added greenery. Less 10 mins effort, which is exactly what I need to address extreme hunger and challenging day at work Might be fruit after. More likely hot cross bun and / or peanut cookie

Yin @yinkli.bsky.social · 13/04/2025
That sounds lovely. Just about to eat a toasted hot cross bun from St John … having met a friend for Indian food at 4pm so unsurprisingly, not that hungry.

Today I learnt I should not have put the mangosteens in the fridge Bugger.

Yin @yinkli.bsky.social · 09/04/2025
Not feeling that hungry so eggs, roast tomatoes, some black pudding and toast.

Yin @yinkli.bsky.social · 03/04/2025
Oh shit!!

Yin @yinkli.bsky.social · 31/03/2025
That looks great! And it was the fennel and chilli that redeemed my random vegetable melange supper last week. But will consider paprika next time 😎
110
Yin @yinkli.bsky.social · 31/03/2025
Not very hungry tonight so a random radicchio, apple & Stilton salad, a small egg fried with a tortilla for protein and carbs. Probably a strawberry trifle or blueberry with yogurt after

Breakfast for dinner Scrambled eggs (small amount of bacon and onion left over from other night, roasted tomatoes, mushrooms and buttered spinach. Bit of toast and marmalade. Hardly cooking at all but satisfying

Yin @yinkli.bsky.social · 24/03/2025
Yeah. I can see that .. I had planned to add butter beans but realised that would be too much food.
110
Yin @yinkli.bsky.social · 24/03/2025
I ended up with some random cabbage heavy vegetable melange … changed my mind twice as I was cooking and tasting. Was redeemed by lots of lemon zest and juice and some chilli.

Yin @yinkli.bsky.social · 24/03/2025
👏👏👏 I wish I had that as my supper 😎

Yin @yinkli.bsky.social · 23/03/2025
Shared … not scared … 🤣🤣🤣

Yin @yinkli.bsky.social · 23/03/2025
That sounds delicious. I went out for lunch so had a burger and scared some session fries. So now, roasted carrots, red pepper hummus and some beetroot with a slice of toast. Rice pudding and rhubarb compote again to follow 😎

Yin @yinkli.bsky.social · 23/03/2025
Thank you - I failed to post the olive link so thank you for the details. And hurrah for Ocado 😎

This looks so good it has made me look for merguez sausages! I found this recipe online - Is that similar to what you did please?

Yin @yinkli.bsky.social · 22/03/2025
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

Yin @yinkli.bsky.social · 22/03/2025
A plate of buttery stir fried savoy cabbage with onions and bacon. Had to amend dinner plans about three times due to poor planning. Saved the carbs for cardamom rice pudding with poached rhubarbs for afters
