Hey.
So, as I have discussed it with some of you here, our almonds have been activated, but even weaponised autism bodies need the fuel.
All jokes aside, inflation is crazy everywhere. Just ordering some stuff was viable some time ago, but it's getting less so. Plus, tasty food is good for your general well-being and making it so is not only a skill all adults should have in my opinion (you are strong, independent adults, learn life skills that make you depend less on everyone else), but it can also be fun.
As much as I would love to feed you all, that's obviously impossible. The next best thing is, I curate a little collection of recipes and break it down so you can make it with relatively simple ingredients that don't depend on specific brands and using from scratch stuff as much as it is viable. Making your own pasta and churning your own butter would be fun, but I work a full time jerb that's not ASMR whisper cooking on Tiktok in a peasant dress.
It's going to be a combination of food from all different kinds. Some Hungarian (none of the war crimes Americans call goulasch), some Asian, some inauthentic shit that will get you cancelled, some mains, pasta, soups, desserts.
So gather around, my friends and eat like kings.

A bacon clanger.
Tbh I think this would go well with the sausage gravy that goes over American scones, I mean biscuits. Haven't tried it that way yet though.
You'll need some suet crust pastry.
200g self raising flour. 100g beef suet. 1/2tsp salt 1 tsp level of baking powder 125ml cold water.
Combine, kneed until smooth and roll into a vaguely rectangular shape about 1/4cm thick.
On top add strips of streaky bacon, sliced onion and sliced mushrooms. Roll it like a jam rolly polly and stick it in a baking tray and brush with milk or egg. It goes into a gas mark 6 oven (no idea what that is in yank) until the tops golden.
I have plenty more but little time right now. Maybe tomorrow.
