      Also, I skipped any sort of actual cooking of jam but mashing, cooking and setting jam is pretty much the same across the board. Throw some spoons in and plates in the freezer the day before or day of and when you think you've got it the right consistency, drop a tablespoon of jam on a frozen plate and see if it runs. If so, keep going, if not, you're good. Most importantly, don't wear your 11oz white Iron Heart t-shirts unless you want it to look like Cy Twombly got ripped before painting it.

          In an ode to my grandfather, I made a pot of shrimp and okra gumbo last night. I can do better but the missus is happy and this is a much healthier route.

            Made a Japanese beef curry pot pie last night. Sacrilege? Perhaps. Delicious? Most certainly.

              Not sure if this belongs on here as it’s kinda basic but it’s good. Mushroom and leek orzo, the first vaguely proper thing I’ve cooked in ages (I don’t think I’ve bought an onion this year). Hoping to get better.

                Every other month or so, I pull leftover chicken bones and vegetable scraps from the freezer. Add another five pounds of chicken quarters and make a giant pot of chicken stock I simmer all day to extract as much collagen as possible. Then it's strained and divided into quart containers and into the freezer so I have access to quality stock as needed. That stuff in the store is absolute garbage.

                  I do this every time I cook a roast chicken/turkey or whatever Sometimes (well, quite often), we will have roast chicken, just because I have run out of stock.....

                  I do it with beef too, but tend to use chicken stock more often than beef.....

                    I do this also
                    , last weekend however ended up with a frantic neighbour visit at 11pm and all the smoke alarms going off in the house as I fell asleep after no sleep after working a night shift, while making the stock it reduced to nothing and burnt everything in the pot to the point that the pot is now in the bin
                    The house still has a whiff of it a week later
