Pretty Tasty Findings: March 2011
http://prettytastyfindings.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
8220;Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful," said William Morris. I would be inclined to agree in that, with the addition of the adjective 'tasty', because a pork pie I don't believe to be beautiful but it is, none the less, tasty. Sunday, 27 March 2011. Cottonrake Bakery, a local delight. I always buy a £5 bag of veg from a rather brusk farmer (well he was a grumpy old sod for a long time, but I've broken him and now I get a cheerful "hello", yay! They a...

cooking notes: November 2009
http://williamclement.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, 29 November 2009. When I feel fragile I need a hug or something. Affection is something physical becoming something sentimental. Eating is affection. I don't like the phrase comfort food. This morning is grey. I drank strong tea, one sugar. I had a digestive biscuit with it. Then I had porridge with cinnamon in. Saturday, 28 November 2009. Or, Too Much. French Provincial Cooking for. Champignons à la crème. I like the feel of restraint when you have a dinner of that kind. This evening's meal,...

cooking notes: mackerel, bass, free oysters
http://williamclement.blogspot.com/2009/11/loch-fyne.html
Saturday, 28 November 2009. Mackerel, bass, free oysters. Trumpington St, Cambridge. Loch Fyne for dinner. It was Victoria's twenty-first birthday. From the specials I had smoked mackerel pate with onion marmelade. The fish was flaked in a little dish with, I imagine, a very little butter and cream. Although a little dry it was pleasantly salt and retained a good deep flavour of smoked-fish. It needed the marmalade, being sweet and astringent. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

cooking notes: Lucy and Lucien
http://williamclement.blogspot.com/2009/12/lucy-and-lucien.html
Sunday, 27 December 2009. The Story of a Gosling. Or: Tangled Thoughts on Christmas Dinner. The goose, plucked, unbutchered. Removing the neck and skin. Mummy's delicate technique for removing the feet. The housette, my bedroom, the dining room. Goose, I now really agree, is better cold. I've read it so often - in Elizabeth David, Matthew Fort among others - and thought No, you want it hot! On Christmas day you must have a whole, roasted bird, and it has to be goose!

Songman's Rest: May 2013
http://songmansrest.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Rantings about love, life, and the poor end of the stall. Friday, 31 May 2013. To cut through a huge swathe of narrative already, my morning ritual revolves around the first tea of the day; if I miss it, I become some horrid abortion of humanity. It isn't pretty. Eucharist is ruined and I'm in danger of swearing at well, everybody, regardless of age or station. On the other hand, there's nothing quite like leaving things until the last minute to give you motivation, something I've clung to for years now ...
