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.

Money is tight atm and I'm a appallingly bad baker, so here's 18th century hasty pudding.
Heat oven to gas mark 3.
Combine 400ml whole milk with 25g butter, sugar and 50g plain flour in a saucepan. Adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract here is quite nice too, but rosewater or orange water also work well.
Set over a lowish heat until it turns the consistency of a thick roux. Remove from the heat, beat in a egg and pour into a pudding dish.
A light sprinkling of nutmeg or cinnamon and into the oven for 20 to 25 mins. It's done if you can pierce the outer edges and they come out clean but the center is a little bit gooey.
It goes well with a nice fruit preserve or lemon curd. Going to try it with condensed milk and normal milk in a 50/50 ratio.
