Mmm I didn’t get as much done today as I wanted because dentist and freezer drama so I didn’t manage to complete the amendments to my review paper. I’ve pencilled in a two hour slot for it tomorrow afternoon. I have to say I find my manager’s criticism very constructive, I feel like I’m learning a lot from her (she’s published over 100 papers and books!).
More freezer shenanigans now then I can make the dinner. It’s our favourite cod, potato and spring onion stew this evening

Errands this morning and then coming home to chill on the couch and watch practice and quali for car go fast (f1).
Hoping to get a bit of baking done as well, pretzels and maybe a pie? I wanted to do strawberry rhubarb but the store keeps being out of it. Hoping I can find the spoons to stop at a produce market where I may have better luck.
Partner has reminded me to take it slow and not overdo it... which is... yeah. I need to do that.

The thing I think I cracked this time is cooking time and amount to put in the mold. In the instant pot, I need to warm the water on the sautee setting, then put in the stands, then set to pressure cook for 1 minute and separately set a timer for 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes are up, at which point the 1 minute steam will be done, manual release the steam. Then wait a moment to take them out of the molds. #cooking #food #idli
My best homemade idli so far this morning! The batter was fermented yesterday and was in the fridge. I think it keeps fermenring in the fridge, just slowly so if anything the batter was fluffier.

How Famine and Starvation Could Affect Gazans for Generations to Come
Research on WWII’s Dutch “Hunger Winter” has terrifying implications for the region’s children—and for their children

The spokesman of Iran’s Foreign Ministry has pointed out that only the US and Israel voted against a landmark UN resolution in late 2021 that recognised access to food as a protected basic human right.
“Didn’t their opposition to that resolution indicate a premeditated policy of using food as a weapon of war?”
George Borrow does it too in the 1860s! He orders bacon, eggs *and bread*, then says that his meal was bacon and eggs! It's like when current writers tell you that someone's #breakfast is bacon and eggs, period!

There is the option "Voice Message" (german, "Sprachnachricht").

Loving these late night snack suggestions

(the pics don't line up with the recipes, which is confusing at first.)
I didn't get some of the things done that I wanted to do in the kitchen today. It was too jolly cold. But I did get stuff done anyway, which was good - some of the kitchen stuff and some other stuffs.
Kitchen things included:
Cooking heaps of chickpeas for the freezer, using the soaking liquid from the shiitake mushrooms, kombu and other bibs and bobs - it made enough for using in 5 or 6 meals. I love that I can take a bag from the freezer, tip in onto a baking tray with vegetables, and roast.
Had this amazing broth as a result of cooking the chickpeas that way.
Used half of the broth when making congee, and the congee was GOOD. There are enough leftovers for 2 serves I reckon.
Used the rest of the broth to make a soupy curry or maybe a curried soup, with some overly spicy tomato mixture I had in the fridge, some of the chickpeas, and half a large block of extra firm tofu (cubed). There is enough soup/curry for the weekend + half the week I reckon 
The spiciness has been tamed but it is still beautifully "warming", and the tofu is awesome. Added a small slug of my vinegar to balance out those hot hot flavours.
First time cooking tofu in the #InstantPot and it is a game changer.
Read all my books on making miso and making koji (as it is very expensive), preparing to make the miso kit sometime in the next few days.
Did not go shopping for the things I need to make the miso - mainly salt to use as a weight on top of the miso. I just need the cheapest salt I can find, as I only have celtic sea salt at home.
A large bowl of sweet miso soup. Millet is soaking. Jars are out ready for the next fermentsDid not get ferments made.I need to use up some things in the fridge to make space for new ferments. I have some end-of-ferment jars that can be used up.
I feel happy with that. Most importantly I kept warm due to working a lot from my bed-office with layered doonas.
United by kibble, ruled by whiskers!

I don't always eat pancakes, but when I do, I make rye #pancakes topped with a good dollop of yogurt and plenty of homemade blueberry sauce using 100% Finnish ingredients.
