airfryer accessories

I finally caved and bought some accessories for The Storm Cooker. The problem has been that they always come in packs and most (okay all) have things I don’t need or want. This is the closest assortment I found that had most of what I wanted (though my air fryer already came with a skewer rack, so now I have two) and as it’s the January Sales I got a good price. ALSO… my oven started acting up over Christmas, blowing the fuse box when I tried to use it, so for now I am more reliant on the air fryer than before. Now I can cook things with sauces, etc. Have missed my oven over the winter though. Hoping it’s just an internal fuse or something else simple, but for now that repair will have to wait until I get back to work. Anyhow by March it’ll be too warm to use the oven, so might hold off until after the summer. Meanwhile, going to have some fun with these guys.

latkes

One of the many many many things I love about Twitter is that I have met so many amazing people there, and have ended up meeting several of them in person too. One of those is Edward Schneider, food & travel writer for the NY Times and other top publications, who I met through another friend I’d first met on Twitter. Edward was here a few years ago with his wife and a friend and we met up for drinks… and then they invited me out for dinner! Well, we’ve stayed in touch since then on Twitter and the other day he posted a photo of some latkes he’d just made. So I asked him for his recipe and he very generously posted it. And now I am about to make latkes for the first time! Stay tuned…

veggies

I have to say that I have never met a vegetable I didn’t like. And while I may not always fit in Five A Day my diet is pretty balanced veg-wise (not so much with fruit, but that’s another story). However, I have been getting into a bit of a rut with my vegetable dishes, in part because since flatmate Peter moved back in (I do the cooking – he cleans) I’m a bit more limited because he won’t eat this or that veg. Well that’s all about to change because recently we both had our annual check ups and both of us have issues with cholesterol and BP, and our blood sugar is “borderline”.

So it’s time to switch up and start focusing on getting more veg in our lives. And although I love salads and veggie stir-fries, omg it takes so much time to wash and chop and prep everything. So my plan is to come up with veggie dishes I can make “in bulk” (enough to last 2-3 days) and just have them on hand in the fridge ready to either heat up or eat cold. This way I can get more variety (not just one veg as a side dish) and it will also be fun. And since it’s winter, rather than salads, these will probably be marinated, sautéed or roasted veggies. If you have a favourite recipe I’m all ears.

mash

My ONE Black Friday purchase… a WMF potato masher. I can’t believe I’ve never owned a potato masher all the time I’ve lived in Spain. And WMF is usually out of my price range, so what the heck. 40% off. Also… winter is coming.

weekly blt

It seems the BLT has gone from being my favourite summer sandwich to simply being my favourite sandwich. I mean, it’s got everything! An entire meal in a toasted seedy sourdough bun. BUT I realise that I have to limit myself to one a week, otherwise I might be making them all the time. So… something to look forward to. Is there anything you feel you have to limit?
