The physical and emotional comfort of our kitchens is being found in the digital spaces of the blog and Twitter, like the semi-synchronous #ConfinedCookalong. #ConfinedCocktails every Saturday at 7pm is an important diary fixture, BYO drink of choice with snacks! #PMAC21 10/
Penalties of rushing #ConfinedCookalong I halved the fat but not the flour! So have to add more fat and I guess I’ll freeze half the pastry as I intended to make only half the recipe...
Rock cakes (4) slightly over-done as I was obsessing about the sausage roll recipe which I haven’t made for about a million years. Am going to eat one now with a mug of tea. #ConfinedCookalong
Hey #ConfinedCookalong I am in the mood for Bedknobs and Broomsticks.
Joining #ConfinedCookalong much later than planned because gardening. I blame @DrSueOosthuizen for making me buy All The Roses 😉 Now for rock cakes and sausage rolls.
How. Long. Will. My. Rice. Take. To. Cook?

Going for chicken, he colour is a better match for the ingredients currently in the pan. #ConfinedCookalong
Calling @melindahaunton and the #ConfinedCookalong crew: I will put the chorizo and a slug of red in the pan next, on top of the shallots and mushrooms. Should I use vegetable stock or chicken stock (both out of a box)? I rarely make risotto (😱) and am not following a recipe.
Vaguely sagey as the pot in the garden yielded only a few slightly yellowing leaves, so will top up with dried. Is this mirepoix? Clumsy chopping says not...
Will cook off with prosecco, since that's what I have open due to post work project fizz last night #ConfinedCookalong
I'm starting early for #ConfinedCookalong because kids. As ever, with what my husband described as my 'chaotic' cooking style, I have no recipe and gave no thought to ingredients when I did the shopping this morning. So, chopping for a butternut squash and vaguely sagey combo
Ah, #ConfinedKitchen #ConfinedCookalong in my brownie cooking festival I’ve forgotten to plan this evening’s dinner.
Possibly a wee bit overdone at the edges, but smells and looks good. St Delia says leave for 10 mins before dividing and cooling on the rack #ConfinedCookalong
Just popping into the shed for some wire wool #ConfinedCookalong Bear with.
A million hours later and I’ve managed to chop 4oz mixed nuts #ConfinedCookalong 💪
