Faraday in Kernow
@faradayinkernow.bsky.social
At one of my lectures on the baking of pasties I was once asked "What good is it?". I did reply that "one day George Osborne will attempt to tax it".
That'll need a bit of rendering afterwards then? Any brand recommendations today?

Eek...for me it'll be £15-20/kg. Don't forget, you'll be the one putting in all the flavour....that must be for one of their 'luxury' ready to roast ones.

I don't really. But think this might have been the original inspiration. I just use less juniper and add warmer spices like cinnamon, star anise and cloves. Then let it cool, score skin/fat, spread mix of marmalade and mustard and stick in hot oven to caramelise. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
Nigel Slater: Back to gammon
Cold cuts, fruity cakes and chutneys are a gift-wrapped opportunity to add a little extra spice to the Christmas feast. Nigel Slater unwraps a mouthwatering ham.

Do it....
There's only 2 of us now, but there's the freezer. I get disappointed when sometime in late January there's no more chunks of ham to heat up with mash, greens and apple sauce 😋

Got a dim memory that the apple juice was from a Slater recipe that I'd looked at when mum & dad were coming to us for one Christmas. I'd bought a large stock pot in the Croydon Ikea...and have loved the ritual of making it ever since.

Gonna look for a good gammon joint for Christmas. Like to cook it in apple juice and spices first, then roast with a mix of marmalade and mustard on the scored skin. 😋

Absolutely not! Credible reports of Farage's vile antisemitic and racist behaviour in late teens have been out there for decades. The right wing press have ignored them for years. But strangely piled on Corbyn (who I can't stand btw) and critics of Israel's action in Gaza as "antisemitic".

Have always tried to cook from scratch and find it relaxing and rewarding. The move from grinding daily commute to remote working and now retirement has freed up so much more time. Much less cash now though....so less eating out.

It'll be a 5 line solution tomorrow, with some faux grumbling. He'll then distract us with beavers, chips, possibly some talk of being nagged by Mrs Mo to do household chores and maybe a photo of a mildly amusing Shrewsbury shop sign.
Then it'll be a 2 line straight hit on Wednesday.
