There was a whole meatloaf sandwich there on my lap but my delicate girl preferred to steal my lettuce. ❤

They are saying that most infections are happening at home now (how do they know that??) so just in case I’m making the cats social distance. It was a hard no on the masks though…
caramelised

First ever attempt making caramelised onions. Gotta say, they turned out pretty good. The trick, as everyone on Twitter kept telling me, was cooking low and slow. Bit like cooking spinach though. You start off with a whole whack of stuff and end up with a small bowlful. So what did you do today?

Just in case you guys think it’s ALL NETFLIXING ALL THE TIME around here, Morcilla also takes her duties as my PA in the office very seriously. As you can see it’s NOT DISTRACTING AT ALL having her snuggle on my shoulder while I sit at my desk and pretend to work. Ok, I lie. It’s distracting AF, but it’s also so adorable I don’t want her to stop. Especially when she starts purring and nuzzling her little nose against my ear *squeeeeee*.
the chicken sharing project

Well why not? I have an oven, my friend Peter doesn’t, and so this happened. An agreement whereby every couple of weeks or so during the winter months Peter will purchase a nice free-range chicken at the market and then I will prepare it in different ways using my oven and then we’ll split the bird. Did the first one today and, well, as you can see that IT WAS AMAZING.
It’s a good idea on many levels. We both get to enjoy a well-cooked bird, which of course I could do on my own (since I have an oven) but I mean, how much chicken can one girl eat in a week? This way is win-win. I also give Peter the carcass to make a soup or stew, so that’s a bonus for him, and because he buys the bird that goes towards what I spend on electricity. Looking forward to trying all kinds of new roasted chicken recipes too – I think spatchcocking is coming up next.
