plant-based central nervous system, so it feels the pain of being ripped from the test tube.

It's true. I am gravely concerned that the necessary gods will not look kindly on any deficit in food soul sacrifices. The rise in veganism and the associated gigadeaths of wildlife slain by intensive agriculture should compensate, but it will be close, ceteris paribus.

I picked a handful of blackberries on the way back from dropping off the lad at the childminder this morning, then blitzed them with a few blueberries that needed using up, evaporated milk, Greek yoghurt and honey, then froze it.

Was pretty damn good.

that comment is from 13 years ago, Shaka. while I still occasionally enjoy bacon, I have to say I haven't obsessed over it for a long time.

salt AND vinegar, a novel idea.
You can't dispute the written record Leo, it's all there in black and white. I haven't read the thread but I assume the other 83 pages are you talking about bacon

Lately I've been doing a lot of cooking, fine-tuning a handful of recipes:

Sicilian whole orange cake (with chocolate mousse)
Apple cobbler
Banana bread
Persimmon bread with whipped persimmon puree cream
Pasta e ceci with homemade roasted tomato sauce
French omelette
Dutch babies with bananas foster
Horchata

Yesterday I tried my most ambitious one, caramelized banana mousse pie, a variation on the traditional banana cream pie, but with banana mousse and caramelized banana coins as a topping. However, I ran out of butter at an inopportune moment, and I miscalculated the firmness of the mousse, and I slightly underbaked the puff pastry crust, resulting in a soupy yet nonetheless tasty dessert.

Tonight I made persimmon bread, using my usual banana bread recipe but just swapping our bananas for persimmons, and cinnamon powder for ground cloves. I also made fresh vanilla whipped cream, and folded in some persimmon puree. It turned out rather specacularly, and with a more subtle taste than I was anticipating.

Just made some coconut lamb curry with red lentils, using a lamb broth I made from 20 lbs of bones over the last 48 hours.

Sauteed onions with garlic and ginger and ghee, added tomato paste, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and lamb broth, and cooked the lentls in there until the desired consistency. Perhaps the best thing I've cooked!

That does sound pretty great.
