Here's the recipe for the easy baguette
The rest I don't have recipes as such for I use a chicken liver pate I've been making for nearly 40 years. Pickle some daikon and carrot. I find rubbing the matchsticks with salt to extract moisture until you can bend them so the two ends touch without breaking before pickling gives a crunchier result.
Marinade the meat in fish sauce lemongrass garlic ketjap manis brown sugar pepper whatever I have to hand
Always have srirachi in larder and had an egg to make some mayo. Missed cucumber and fresh herbs but was still a good lunch
I could live on Vietnamese. My Heart of Darkness Saigon Hazy hasn't arrived but you can'thave everything
That sound! My daughter is Coeliac, pretty easy to find replacements for everything these days, but there is no GF recipe that comes close to making white bread like that

I dunno if this counts, but I had my first jab today, and I'm positively buzzing! How fucking amazing are our scientists to produce this? And not just the one that went in my arm, many other types. Fucking science rocks - compare 100 years ago. Easy, quick, pain free, awesome. I am so grateful

Well, I only keep wine in my cellar.
The guests you let rot? Oh I'm sorry, that was a snowy thread.

Imagine if we all had that attitude. This covid thing would be a breeze!
Science does rock! My family are full of scientists with PhD's in Medicine and Agriculture. Some how the brains skipped me
I always admire my oldest brother with what he does and continues to achieve in medicine, especially anaesthetics. Still happily works in intensive care and hates admin -

Very good, bread straight from the oven 😋

@taniwharugby how was it. I’ve done a second batch and left it to prove a bit longer. Excellent result

I found a new (easier) recipe for baguettes and are having home made bahn mi for lunch
Care too share?
Banh mi is legit. Would also be keen for that recipe if it's not some closely guarded family secret.
More the recipe for easy baguette for me!
This always turns out well for me!

Yeah I use this as a "base" for making a couple of chilli cheese loaves every couple of weeks (double up on the recipe and use fresh/dry yeast as available - have also kept a jar of leftover jalapeno *juice" which I leave the sliced chillis in for a few hours).
Easy Jalapeño Cheddar Bread
Delicious, easy baked artisan-style no knead bread with tons of jalapeño and cheddar flavor from simple ingredients and packed with flavor.

@bones sure counts as positivity.
Searching for my mojo today, another day in front of the computer isn't the most inspiring. Rationally it's great that I'm in work, and things are continuing, but goddamn my reptilian brain just wants what it can't have.
A trip out of the house.
Takeaways.
Holiday overseas.
Live rugby.

Fuck yeah London! Popped into the city to play...errr... netball and hoooooleeee fuck if it isn't jam packed with approximately a third of that jam being top quality oggle material. Most pleasant walk from London bridge to Liverpool Street ever.
Hey gurl

@kiwiwomble it's more a whisper when I silently walk up behind them.

Scarlett Johannsen.Mentally hit the wall wat work yesterday, so took a half day off. Turns out there's a limit to how long I can sit at a desk staring at a screen without talking to people
So, treated myself and the rest of the family to a trip out of the house and a walk-in vaccination. Sore arm overnight, but otherwise good. Almost as good as a holiday.Fingers crossed for takeaways next week, and live rugby this weekend (albeit on the screen). Still waiting for ScarJo, but not holding my breath at L4 eh
Hope you are all well. I feel refreshed from having a change. Probably only lasts to the first issue of the day, but that's life eh. Look after yourselves.
