Mrs Blank is cleaning the squid so she gets the dibbs on cooking style. Jamie Oliver is a star here so she will do it his way without the lemons and parsley and subbing thai sweet chili sauce in the mayo.
What did you cook or eat today (October 2020)?

I did a nice Autumn favorite, which is roasting cubed butternut with rosmary and lots of garlic, then puree-ing half with parmesan, adding to pasta and then adding remaining butternut squash, served hot. Only tip is use some pasta water with the puree'd squash so it thins and coats pasta. Was uber-yummy!

Do you reckon that makes a difference? I think I have some in the freezer.
That sounds delicious.

Yes with octopus, cuttlefish and squid. When water freezes it expands breaking the up the internal tissue. One family member catches octopus here in the winter freezes it and sells it to the restaurants next tourist season. The octopus definitely does not need beating on a rock.

Ah ok, now I got it. I cannot get the point of it
Yep, we have different methods. French one uses a lot of butter/cream since it’s in their culture whilst we have olive oil in our veins
Even if in the North of Italy butter is a staple - but never in tomato sauce

I made my own korma spice mix with a mortar and made korma curry as authentic as possible. I always make my own spice mixes, but using the mortar is a new thing for me. I am doing my heritage justice finally by using the cobek ( Indonesian stone mortar) I got from my MIL.

Ok, I'll probably detail the day in the "Plans..." topic, but our first Christmas-themed afternoon tea:
Let's see...turkey sandwiches with cranberry-cream cheese spread, egg mayo croustades, bacon-gruyere-olive palmiers (I'll write those up for the challenge), little mini angel scones (which are yeasted scones), served with spiced whipped cream and plum butter, and cherry-chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese frosting (that's supposed to be a somewhat abstract interpretation of a poinsettia on top), and white-chocolate peppermint truffles.
