cheesy

Today turned into a Stay At Home Day, which was fine by me. Nothing much planned, not much to do other than the usual (photo editing, updating Sevilla Tapas, social media, etc)… and so I decided to make biscuits. Because it’s cool enough now (only 27º!) to put the oven on. This time I experimented with my basic baking soda biscuit recipe and added grated manchego cheese to half of the dough. And omg they were good, both versions. The cheesy ones didn’t actually need any butter added but, you know, what the heck. How’s your Tuesday going?

I don’t know how these things happen but I can start off a day feeling fairly normal and with a “to do” list of things of thing I want to take care of, and then remember that a few weeks ago someone mentioned pistachio pesto on Twitter and then I’m suddenly lost down a google pesto rabbit-hole.

Yes, more brown food and one of my specialities – the fridge forage. Today’s was frozen pork & beef meatballs cooked with sweet onions, garlic, portobellos, amontillado… buttery mash with wilted baby spinach on the side. Took me about two hours to do this and it totally saved me. Because I woke up this morning not sure how I was going to get through another day, as in what the fuck was I going to do with all those hours. So I did a bit of this and that, realised I wasn’t able to go out, and then decided to COOK SOMETHING. In the end I got to do something creative, share it on my social media (yes, I’m one of those) and also have a tasty meal. By then I was calmer and could settle down with Morcilla to do a bit of Netflixing. Somehow it’s now almost time for bed, again, and then it will be tomorrow, again. Wish me luck!
