This recipe is stunning #easycooking

Don't worry about toasting the nuts - you can buy them toasted or just chop any nuts (I used walnuts)

Also ordinary broccoli works well - just slice it thinly

And macaroni works for the pasta

Notwithstanding my problems with the union, I'd urge academics who are worried about restructuring to get involved with UCU. There are few other ways of fighting back and I'll be at next week's Senedd rally with bells on.

Avoiding the news

Submerged myself in cooking.

Busked a curried lentil filo pie, tofu Japanese curry and a chopped salad.

Not the best photo ever but a stunningly handsome male Sparrowhawk in the Pear Tree on this wet and windy morning in Wales

Cried laughing : 😅🤣

RIP the musical genius Garth Hudson RS

We had danish pastries with Cheese and Marmite this week. Of the scale

Probably the most middle class thing this working class boy has ever done

Sourdough toast from Brod Danish bakery in Cardiff. Just butter. Delicious.

Me done for the day

Time to try one of Joy's Xmas presents

I was interviewed by Bill for a job as district secretary for the TGWU (didn't get it!)

Great man

a man is using a high pressure hose at a car wash with a netflix logo in the background ALT: a man is using a high pressure hose at a car wash with a netflix logo in the background

Very occasionally typos are better than the original.

Just described someone as a 'powerhose' in an email

That annoyingly smug feeling when you follow a recipe and it works

@gapdg.bsky.social and this too ⬇️

Much healthier eating (until I hit the chocolates and cheese later)
