Pickles!!!!⁣ ⁣ Chinese New Year is just around Pickles!!!!⁣
⁣
Chinese New Year is just around the corner, which means feasts for days. This is my grandmas legendary pickles called achar. It's made by tossing vinegar-blanched veg into a sweet and nutty spicy blend. ⁣
⁣
Despite being a very adult dish, I always associate achar with babies. Whenever my grandma held one of her baby grandkids,  she'd squawk to them "achar achar achar". I guess it was her version of "goo goo ga ga"

New Year reflections⁣ ⁣ Well, that's another y New Year reflections⁣
⁣
Well, that's another year in Glasgow, and what a ride. This is the year that lockdowns ended and the country opened up. So despite living here for a while now, it felt like the first year that I could actually experience the city. I could eat at restaurants, travel, meet new people, and soak up what Glasgow is all about.⁣
⁣
However, it was also a year of unexpected challenges. It was the first year that I really began to understand what life without my mum looks like, the first year that I could actually experience grief.⁣
⁣
My mum passed away in 2019, and just three days after her funeral, I was on a plane to start a new life in Scotland. There was no time to grieve then; I was too busy sorting visas, bank accounts and NHS numbers. That, and I was only in Scotland for 2 weeks. I had to fly back to Australia to film Catalyst for the ABC, doing my best to smile on camera as we raced around the country. It was back to Scotland after that, and I tried to settle in by finding a home to live in and a job. But then the pandemic hit, kicking off two years of uncertainty. ⁣
⁣
Until this year, there simply hasn't been any time to grieve. Every day has been about survival, taking one day at a time as I navigated a new life in a new country in a new world. But all of that locked up grief has crept back in slowly, confusingly and unexpectedly, and I'm still trying to make sense of it all. So whatever 2023 brings, I'm sure it'll be another wild ride. ⁣

Home made noodles⁣ ⁣ Playing with my new Chris Home made noodles⁣
⁣
Playing with my new Christmas toy - a noodle maker. The noodles are made by passing a dough through an extruder. And it was very different to making noodles or pasta by hand!⁣
⁣
The first attempt using a stretchy moist dough was awful. The noodles were tacky and stuck together as they came out. What I soon learned is that the dough needs to be quite dry and crumbly. Very counter intuitive. ⁣
⁣
The noodles took just 1 minute to cook. They were enjoyed with a flavoured oil and leftover capon. Loving those Christmas Dinner leftovers. ⁣

Christmas Dinner⁣ ⁣ Well, another year done an Christmas Dinner⁣
⁣
Well, another year done and dusted. The capon was a delight. I coated it in butter and salt, and stuffed it with orange, lemon and lime. After 2.5hrs in the oven, it was done Nd the breast meat was surprisingly moist. Highly recommended.

1. Roast Capon⁣ with citrus
2. Honey roasted carrots and parsnips⁣
3. Hasselback potatoes ⁣
4. Honey and lemon charred brussel sprouts⁣
5. Yorkshire puddings⁣
6. Braised red cabbage and cranberries⁣
⁣
Not pictured are gravy, chipolatas, a beetroot Wellington and stuffing, mucu of it not made by me mind you! And now, for dessert...
