Last night's entertainment was Black Panther.

Tea was pate de compagne made with pork cheek and my home cured bacon made from piggies from the farm next door.

It's a children's farm, pretty...

Grey, bits of sun and now rain.

Trying to work out when I can light the BBQ in between showers, have to time it so I can stick the chicken on to cook wile watching F1 without interrupting my...

Late breakfast of home smoked kippers and poached eggs.

Need to smoke some more as this was the last batch in the freezer.

Roast chuck later, been a while since I did a proper Sunday roast.

Morning all :wave:

Day of cooking lined up, harissa, beetroot soup, ketchup and maybe a crumble with pears, apples and blackberries from the garden.

Started off nice and sunny, got caught in a torrential downpour while at the local market.

Watched the new Bill & Ted last night, good, harmless fun.

Afternoon all :wave:

Gave in and had fish pie this evening. Used some salmon and prawns instead.

I miss proper chip shop chips.

We have elephants living next door as well, one of the next door kids is unable to go upstairs in their house without making it sound like a herd of elephants clomping upstairs.

His mother is...

My Bramley tree is on strike this year. :(

Which is a bugger as you can't get Bramley apples here. The Cloggies keep telling me that their Goudrenet are just as good, well they aint, they are too...

Alternating between torrential downpours and then sun, BBQ and smoker are still chugging along quite nicely.

Haddock has just gone in the smoker, should be ready in a couple of hours.

Breaking in my new fermentation jar with hot pepper sauce.

It's now in self isolation for the next 14 days.

There's thunder in them thar hills. :eek

Lighting the Egg now so I can slow roast tomatoes and onions for Ketchup, chillies and peppers for harissa and then roast the smoked beetroot for a soup.

Was going to make fish pie for tea today but think it will wait until Sunday. If I smoke the haddock today it needs a day or two for the flavour to settle.

Lunch of home made soda bread and boiled eggs.

New recipe up on t'website if anyone fancies some light reading.

Smoking session today.

Fishmonger managed to get some haddock in specially for me, they're a tad smaller than the usual fish, but can't complain.

Mentioned to some neighbours who are from...

Thunderstorms tomorrow in Cloggers.

Hopefully not when I go to the market.

Have to go early to avoid people as social distancing doesn't exist over here and neither does covid from the way...

Crazy Kitty time Chez Norr. Norpuss II meowing loudly and running up and down the stairs.

Tea was chilli which I found during a freezer forage.

Evenin' :wave:

We had a flurry of viewings when our place first went on the market in blighty, then it kinda died down. Finally managed to get rid of the place a few months later.
Glad we sold it when we did.

Afternoon all :wave:

Might be a while, there's about 30 or so recipes in the queue for the site.

Need to sit and do some scheduling. I know the next few will probably be fig macerated in port with balsamic meringue,...

Well windy here now.

Managed to get as many pears in as I could.

What's a diet?????

Just finished Morse recently. Followed it with the box set of Lewis and then Morse the younger.

Probably going to start reading the books again.

Made some choc, choc chip and hazelnut cookies.

Need to let the dough set for a bit in the fridge before I bake them. Will probably wait until tomorrow as the lighting will be a bit better to...

Was raining, then sunny, looks like more rain on the way.

Crab and sweetcorn soup for lunch.

Found some home made fish stock in the freezer, had tinned sweetcorn, cheated and used crab sticks.

Tasty.

Focaccia to accompany the soup.

Raining here.

One of the rooms in my first house in London had that. Evil, Evil stuff. Put me right off DIY for life.

Morning all :wave:

Started off grey and windy, got rained on during my walk and now the sun's out.

Focaccia on second prove.

More recipe writing underway.

Kedgeree for tea. Running low in my home smoked cod, they don't really do cold smoked fish in cloggers.
Haddock is impossible to come by, so I ended up buying a smoker and doing it myself instead. ...

Sunny and windy today, 20c outside still 24c indoors.

Expected to get well windy later this week, debating whether to harvest pears before they become windfall fodder.

Cep and rosemary focaccia made, overnight prove in the fridge.

Phone is borked, had to sent it back for repairs. Hope it returns relatively soonish.

Afternoon all :wave:

Tomorrow's article prepped and proof read for Kitchen Exile.

Thankfully neither venue are in any of the busy...

Bright and sunny in cloggers. 25c today, 28c tomorrow.

Hopefully will start raining again on Friday (saves me watering the postage stamp).
