Aah man.. sounds delicious.. I’ve been dry baking chicken wings.. after deep clean with fresh lemons thorough skin scrap.. coated in baking soda and salt / pepper seasoning.. honey soy sriracha sauce added at plating with finely chopped bird’s eye chilis and sesame seeds..

Superb!!

Yeah.. white people 🙄.. lol

I ain’t ethnic enough despite my Turkish and Sri Lankan heritage so I’m in the white people category..

I made the fatal mistake asking Mrs M’s mum for her beef curry and roti recipe.. I got a silent stare basically fcukoff..

if I need to know I’d be invited, family recipes are a closely kept secret

Roasted butternut squash soup..
cos summer is officially over

I went OTT with garlic along side squash, red pepper, cherry tomatoes, red onion..

Blake still facing gross misconduct charges and Inquest, yet we continue to live with a broken and discriminating society where justice feels like privilege for some not all. Also inquests can be very expensive

Sir Chris Hoy’s tragic news is just devastating and that his wife was diagnosed with aggressive multi sclerosis too. My thoughts are with their families esoecially their young children.

I am so glad you persisted with your GP, hearing Sir Chris Hoy’s tragic news this week has certainly raised prostate cancer awareness. i hope all is okay with you
