GB News’s Trump interview was a hot mess, but Ofcom doesn’t want to investigate. That means one thing: Ofcom is BROKEN. I just signed this open letter calling on the Government to do whatever it takes to fix it. Will you add your name? act.38degrees.org.uk/act/Ofcom-is...
Every time the #motd commentator says:
"Pedro Neto of #Chelsea is running down the wing, he's approaching their goalkeeper now"
I always think:
"I hope he can make a Kwik Save!" ⚽

#BoycottWorldCup
Said it before, and I'll say it again, Scotland should boycott this World Cup.
Unpopular perhaps but there is no justification for going to a World Cup, in a country that is committing mass murder and aiding genocide.
Simple as that.

Two plates of food with knives and forks. Wanted to stuff morels with a mixture of morel stems, porcini paste, mushroom-infused UHT cream which entailed me using a piping bag for the first time ever. I discovered that stuffing morels with a piping bag is a LOT of fun for someone with essential tremor, like me. @ollioil.bsky.social had suggested roasting Jerusalem artichokes, smashing them up then roasting them a bit longer, so that's what I did with the veg that I roasted today. Worked well, thanks Olivia. Morel sauce was the rest of the mixture that I had stuffed the morels with, just a few more morels added then heated through in a pan, not too hot because I didn't want the cream to split. The halibut was poached in white wine, white wine vinegar, lemongrass, tarragon, coriander seeds, star anise, bay leaves and I'll use the poaching liquid to make a different sauce tomorrow.

Must be worth thousands
Not sure what budget is for #MasterChefUK #MasterChef:TheProfessionals but the #food that they have in their 'larder' for invention tests alone must be worth a fortune 💷
The most expensive seafood, e.g. halibut and turbot, things like morels are always BIIIGGG, enormous fillets of beef 💰

Best Newsnight subtitle fail was Ms Derbyshire mentioned 'depicting sex between relatives' and it became 'to pick things six between relatives'.
Vic Derbyshire is such an energetic, charismatic part of #BBC #Newsnight that it's quite disappointing when we only see her on the Monday and Tuesday shows 😢

#vegetarian #food again today ❤️
Wifey did veggie burgers, roasted cauliflower steaks with spring onions and za'atar seasoning
I made almond hummus (inspired by Marcus Wareing)

A slug on the green outer leaves of our cauliflower.
A website that I used to check on the differences between pink, green and black peppercorns said that green peppercorns tend to have a short shelf life so be careful to check the date on them. October 2028, so a longer shelf life than the pink peppercorns :D
Good news and bad news on #food front today
I've added pretty pink and green peppercorns into pepper mill so we'll see if it makes any difference to the taste
Wifey was prepping cauliflower and found an uninvited guest 😱 but it only seemed to be interested in green bits we don't eat

There are loads of ways to cook them
I've only just discovered them so I'm still experimenting
Saw them used on #MasterChefUK and thought I'd give them a try
I've used globe artichokes for years but not Jerusalem artichokes, mainly because they're quite hard to find
www.bbc.co.uk/food/jerusal...
Yes, this is the first time I've peeled them but I didn't throw the peel away. Apparently most of the goodness is just under the skin.
A lot of recipes for roasted Jerusalem artichokes say to halve or quarter them but I think I'll leave them whole next time 👍
