Sunday morning

 Good morning it is dull and cold this morning and I have slept in very late but I had a bad night so I feel a bit wrecked today.

I did have a successful batch of pork crackling but by the time I got the camera I was lucky to get this photo


And no the dogs were not responsible for the rapid depletion leaving them to cool in full view was a big mistake.

In the end, I decided to unpick my stitches and it was the right choice the section is much more to my liking now. Another lesson learned if you aren't happy it will bug you forever so bite the bullet and redo it.

Today I have leftover turkey thigh which is not enough to eat cold so it is going to make some soup along with the bone broth I have already made.  

So time to chop a few vegetables and get the soup on and of course the new toy will cook that in super quick time.

The sun has just made an appearance so we may have a nice day.  Hope you have a peaceful day.

Friday morning

 Good morning all it’s a frosty cold but sunny day in fact a proper winters day. Tomorrow there will be rugby to watch.  I must admit I haven’t watched any of the Winter Olympics it’s not my thing.  I must admit I have never fancied skiing I can fall over on carpet. My tripe arrives today and I have made the mirepoix ready so just some simmering to do.   I think I might use the slow cooker the hopefully it will be ready for supper. Well my cup is empty and I hear the shower calling so time to get on.  I will be staying in the warm and playing in the kitchen.  Have a good day and stay warm.

Thursday morning

Good morning all well it is raining which is kind of par for the course.  This week has been one to forget as soon a possible.  Yesterday should have been a good day and despite feeling rubbish, I pushed on and got things organised for Shiona's visit.  So you can imagine how delighted I was when she didn't turn up.  She forgot.  So the boys and I had a nice lunch and I then took to my room and watched a lecture by Jordan Peterson which took my mind off my disappointment.  It is reassuring to hear someone of such intellect say that life is hard and nasty.  His latest book "12 rules for life an antidote to chaos" is a book that I have read once and I still pick up and reread the odd chapter when chaos is looming. So today I will be cooking the quails for lunch as the three of us will be here but as yet I haven't decided what to do with them.  I quite fancy Gnocchi Alla Romana but if I want them I will have to get a move on as the polenta has to...
