Looks good, did it have swede in it?

Yes ... this is a good site for recipes where several versions are checked out and a final suggestion made, I enjoy "mixing and matching" but in this case I more or less followed the advice:

How to make perfect Cornish pasties

 

[Windigo]

This is lovely. Did you make from scratch?

No, it was pasta from my freezer. Fresh pasta though that I bought from an Italian store a while ago. They have great pasta.

Yesterday's lunch: cheese, Dijon mustard & tomatoes on toast with chilli flakes:

Olive flatbread with Italian herbs for tonight, to be served with spaghetti.

You're really getting into the swing of bread making Windigo.

And soup with a substantial quantity of chilli flakes (which were not that hot).

You seem to have a better hand at placing pictures than me though

These are really easy! Just self raising flour and Greek yoghurt. I'm trying Soda bread on Sunday.

Ah! Self-raising flour. This is a good idea for me, since in my last delivery the bread flour I ordered was replaced by self-raising flour. It seems that folk are turning to bread baking in the crisis. I was wondering what to do with the self-raising flour, as I don't generally make cakes.

I use it occasionally for (American-style) pancakes and (American-style) biscuits (so it should work for scones) - just omit any salt and baking powder that's in the recipe.

You may get slightly different results - I think American self-rising and British self-raising flours are formulated a little differently.

I didn't think you had it in America. I can't recall seeing any American recipes listing it.

Yeah, it's very common here. Every major flour company here makes it (Pillsbury, Gold Medal, Martha White, White Lily, King Arthur...).

This will be an entry for the challenge, Coconut Latkes with cranberry apple sauce and cardamon Marscapone garnish. These went with crispy skin chicken thighs.

 

[The Velvet Curtain]

I have batch cooked some beef ragu and made double portions on a leek and potato soup. I am now content that we have sufficient provisions to last a couple of weeks, by which time the rediculous panic buying should be over.

If there is anything like here...doubtful. It's going strong here.
