Domestic God-ish

I note the elderberries dangling over someone's fence, and ponder whether a midnight raid or early morning bagging is more appropriate. I also suspect the brambles are about ready, so a trip to a patch above North Holmes Road may be in order. Some jam, some crumble, some vodka, some ... um?


Having bought, on the recommendation of Pete the Fish, some pouting, I wonder about fish pie, and of course lamentable's (red) thai curry, which I have the recipe for somewhere.

In the fridge there is black cherry jam and I have been macerating the other cherries for three Edit: four weeks.

Domestic God-Ish II

Turns out the maceration should end today, and I need to decant a litre of brandy and cherries into the blender. Of course, the cherries were squeezed into the bottle, so the neck is going to be somewhat of a, ahem, bottleneck.

Slice the top of the bottle off, I'm guessing.

This is why it's being done in plastic.


Elderberries to be picked latter.
