Prep for Mother's Day kicked off. Making a traditional Portuguese dish of pork and clams so need to mascerate the red peppers with salt for 12 hours before roasting, peeling and blitzing as the marinade for the pork for 24 hours.

Sounds like a lot of work but essentially about 20 mins of actual cooking all in - just a waiting game - and the end result is really tasty.
I sent a card in Moonpig yesterday. I’m a bad son.

MiniOT makes breakfast (took a few years to get her to prefect a hollandaise sauce), I cook lunch and we both chip in for flowers.

Not even December but already starting to make bits and bobs for Xmas dinner.

Soon won't be able to buy cherries so roasting some off in sugar, salt and oil so I can blitz them down now, freeze them until needed to make a roasted cherry soup.

Have nuts and dried fruit soaking in booze so I can make sort of "mince pies".

Spiced plum gin is brewing and ready in a month.

I got ridiculed last year because I made my gravy in advance and froze it. I'd roasted off a bunch of chicken wings for something else and was left over with lots of stock that I didn't know what to do with. I had the last laugh as the gravy was f***ing amazing.

Funnily enough I just ordered some hello fresh boxes, got an offer sent to me so have 6 meals on the way for a fiver.
We started off with a similar deal, but once it was full price it was too expensive compared to just buying the ingredients from Aldi. Recipes and food are great though .

Yeah, I plan on canceling the subscription. Not paying full whack for it. I'm essentially paying £4.99 primarily to not think of what to cook for me tea.

that and because it's 6 meals for a fiver!

I made a very nice Chicken Pie last night using a Hello Fresh recipe from when I got a few boxes last year.

They have all their recipes on their site: https://www.hellofresh.co.uk/recipes I still go back to it now and again even though we haven't had a box for years now. We've still got all the old recipe cards in the cupboard too.

My favourite: https://www.hellofresh.co.uk/recipes/sa ... 416d5c9912

I've become an air fryer t***!

Getting into Japanese and Korean cooking lately, made some ramen and soba dishes, also had a crack at Gyoza. The Japanese stuff seems quite complex so far and the effort doesn't seem worth it imo. On the other hand I'm falling in love with Korean food, made some killer Korean fried chicken and had it with some Kim Chi that i have had fermenting for a few weeks, tonight I made a Korean seafood curry, which again was pretty phenomenal. Gojuchang is probably one of my new favourite ingredients.

How come smokers aren't more popular in England?
Given the density of our housing its gonna piss neighbours off to blow smoke at their windows for 24 hours on end. Also weather.

I know the first person to complain to me about a smoker would be the cronut two doors down who burns plastic every week in his garden.

Even planning a BBQ more than a week (at best) in advance is risky business!

I suppose that the main factors are time, effort and of course the weather which can be so changeable that you can't rely on 48 hours of good weather to smoke food.

Most people's idea of a BBQ in the UK is shop bought burgers and sausages. I've had people come to my BBQs who were stunned that I made my own burgers!
