I have been having real trouble finding avocados that are not Israeli. They are a rare treat for me. 😋

Make aubergine involtini! Thinly slice, griddle, roll and them with ricotta, toasted pine nuts and Parmesan with some chopped fresh herbs, drizzle with nice olive oil, nap with your tomato sauce and frazzle in oven. Parm, basil and black pepper on top. Awesome 😋

Something is tapping up in the roof. Four rapid taps (letter 'h' in morse) every few minutes. I'm beginning to think beetles. We do have 350 year old oak roof timbers up there, so a death watch is not out of the question. Wrong time of year, though?

Be careful, pet. He will be sending his goons out against internal 'threats', that include anyone criticising him or his policies, soon, I fear. Not to be paranoid but I hope that you have robust emergency plans for Dandy and Spike' care.

FIFA’s Peace Prize recipient started a war and kidnapped a foreign leader less than a month after receiving the prize. Who is in the running for the second year?

Canadians, Americans, and anyone who uses the words "your government" need to understand this: Donald Trump is NOT the U.S. government. Trump IS a Dictator. Where our government once stood, now stands a corrupt MAGA cult thanks to the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025. bsky.app/profile/mrsb...

It's good with a nut roast, or vegan haggis, or pour some over sausages and serve with mashed potato and green veg.

Most shop bought vegan cheese isn’t very nice (some rare exceptions) so for enchiladas I’d make my own cheesy sauce by blending soaked cashews, nutritional yeast and some lemon juice and white miso for tang, then pour it over. Google vegan nacho sauce.

Enchiladas, lasagne, any beans or lentils will go well in it over rice, jacket potatoes or toast!

Pasta alla Norma....tomato sauce, fried aubergine, garlic and salted ricotta (I can't get that locally, so just add crumbled feta).

You seem to already have many great suggestions, but I must promote my favourite giant butter bean oven bake. Since you already have a good tomato sauce with depth, you could buy pre-cooked ones in a jar and get a similar result after half an hour in the oven. www.dimitrasdishes.com/gigantes-bak...

@tinnedtoms.bsky.social @pimlicat.bsky.social @sturdyalex.bsky.social Advice please. I’ve made a really delicious tomato sauce. Apart from ratatouille what vegetarian / vegan things could i do to make it into a main meal?

Why Miss Fortune! What sturdy ankles you have! Have you considered trying out for our local curling team? #GirlsOwnCC

The new maid later admitted that she had drifted off a bit when Lord Ponsonby had rambled on about his exploits in the Hindu Kush, so took a while to realise that he’d actually died three hours ago and rigor mortis had already set in. #GirlsOwnCC

Back to the world of work tomorrow. And I’m sure I’m not alone in not wanting to go. I’ve got my work bag ready, and ironed work clothes in readiness. In 2026 I’ve decided I will switch off from work as soon as I leave work each night, for my own personal space. What will you do differently?

I was just thinking about a Filipino archbishop who died a couple of decades back. Jaime Sin. He ultimately became a Cardinal, with the inevitable hilarious result. Which led me to Wikipedia: 'Sin was born on August 31, 1928'. Now I have the giggles... sorry.

Last I saw D. Lama was still with us? Interestingly, my Malay (Muslim) 'OH' was with two dear friends, a Chinese Malay and a Filipina (both devout RC) at the Vatican on Palm Sunday to witness Francis' 2nd last public appearance before he passed away. Now get this: I actually MET DL in Norway once!

He says Cnut a lot and considering the huge amount of bacon he's probably consumed, I think Danish.

I've always pictured you as French. (Let the record show those were my last words)

Pretty close to my method, use a small bowl to slide the egg into the swirl, the fresher the egg the better, with a swirl method you cook one egg at a time, I use large eggs.

All good guidance IMO but the first and best perfect poached eggs principle is make sure your eggs are so fresh they’re basically still in the chicken before you start 🧐

Thanks for all the messages, I’m pretty relaxed about it as there’s not much you can do about anything hereditary 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m more worried about getting there & hoping the snow holds off ! I might take the opportunity to visit Cambridge, which I miss a little…

Yes It's how my wee mother taught me. You can also stir it into a vortex and make mad shapes Try it with quails eggs for parties Or emu egg for posh people

No more than 5 centimeters of water in the pan. Don't use eggs straight from a fridge Just a light boil before you drop the eggs in so it drops back to a vague simmer - make sure it stays a vague simmer Make sure you pop the eggs in as close to waters surface as possible. 3 mins.
