Quick Quick Slow by Nigella:

Forgotten Pudding

This reminds me of a dessert from the ‘80s and it is really worth trying. Leave it overnight in the oven to produce a marshmallow-style meringue. Top it with cream and fruit and it is perfect.

Mirin-Glazed Salmon

This glaze of brown sugar, soy and mirin is super-quick and so tasty. It really elevates salmon in minutes.

Just a reminder that the attacks on trans people are a replica of the play book used against gay men in the ‘80s.

I should know; it was used against people like me to instil fear in EVERYONE including me.

The problems of:

billionaires are who will be the 1st trillionaire? tax avoidance & distracting by attacking minorities like trans people.

The poor are feeding their families and paying bills.

Vote for @ZackPolanski and @TheGreenParty who are not owned by billionaires.

The Christmas Cale by Nigella:

Easy-Action Christmas Cake

This is quicker than conventional methods: heat dried fruit with sugar, butter & alcohol, let it cool, mix with the dry ingredients & bake - & it will keep for several months.
