The Mock Turtle

I also trimmed our massive rosemary a few weeks ago so bundled it all up and dried it so now have jarred it dried and crushed

What delicious looking food!

I am sad about your yogurt bark, olive.

How did you dry it Jet? Hanging or low oven or dehydrator?

Socca with cavolo nero, mushrooms, hazelnut pesto, Ogleshield and Perl Las Blue, and an egg (yolk, as they were leftover as the whites went into the socca). It was a massive PITA because both of them stuck to the bloody pan and I wrecked them getting them out and had to patch over the cracks with cheese, which, given that I have spent the day plastering over cracks in the bathroom walls, was not bloody ideal. But it was delicious, which was a relief because I was DONE WITH THE WORLD by that point.

Oh Jet I have rosemary envy. I'm just about finished the lovely load I brought back from Portugal a couple of years ago, when there was a huge bush outside our window

This just looks like a burger, but I made the same one last night and it was so good I almost cried when I ate it. I'm obsessed with the crunchy onion and smoky chipotle sauce. Tonight I had two, and a steak. Also a mushroom and red onion kebab, corn on the cob and an asparagus raft all done on the barbecue
I also tried putting brown sugar and cinnamon on pineapple and barbecuing it. OMG. And I did a control group which I cooked under the grill and it was also pretty amazing. I see a lot of pineapples getting eaten in my future.

Just hanging! I did 4 big bunches and hung in the garage for 2-3 weeks. I looked a few ways but beside having a dehydrator, oven seemed open to burning.

Here is the smallest in front of the bush and if you look across my neighbours have a bush twice the size to the right if their path. Down the street someone else has one literally twice the size of that.

Last night Mr J made an obscenely large plate of food. Meatballs by me but he did the rest.

Then you can’t tell what it is because the egg was so big but leftover potatoes smashed into a pan and fried with wilted spinach and a fried duck egg.

And the it doesn’t look like much but amazing grilled cheese by Mr J and Heinz tomato soup.

I did myself a roquefort, walnut and chicory salad for lunch. So nice, and so quick to prepare.

That looks lovely.

It really does.

It does.

I did griddled courgette salad with chilli, honey, lemon and mint and some very stinky cheese scattered around.

I made these and they are amazing! Thank you.

That looks good, Disco! I may copy you.

I made panissa rice tonight.

I am eating a lot of curry just now. This was a balti - nice but I don't think the massive amount of butter I added really made any difference.

Your curries always look so delicious.

Ooh, I’ve not had a curry since my birthday and that looks good to me, Heebs, too much butter or no.

I’ve kind of lost my appetite lately, possibly for the first time in my entire life (except when I’ve been ill), so I haven’t been cooking much as I’ve zero motivation. However, I did do some displacement baking over the weekend and made myself this little cake. It had planned it as a birthday cake but ran out of time/steam to make it. It’s carrot (no, really) with lemon cream cheese frosting and passionfruit curd (and more frosting) inside. Four layers. Not as precise as it like but I couldn’t find my large angled palette knife. Where the fuck did that go?!

That's so pretty!

The frosting is so neat! And I love the idea of the passionfruit curd

That's beautiful!! Well done!

Amazing cake .

Heebie, your food always looks very appetising.

That is beautiful!
