Breakfast Flavour, Grapefruit Gimlets and Horror for Your Ears
It’s been a bit of an emotional roller coaster these past couple of weeks - when you’re inside your house all day your feelings can start feeling like big news. SoMo’s preferred medicine is Maltesers and tiktok in bed, whereas SoRo has learned the hard way that negronis are just as dangerous during a pandemic as they were pre-covid. But it’s not all doom and gloom! We’ve got a food heavy ep for you this week, with pre-bottled cocktails delivered that day and parachute filter coffee for fancy coffee without all the gear. We’ve been cooking long simmered ragu and a stewed fruit recipe to perk up your breakfasts. A podcast rec! A steamy tv show! Get going!
EAT
SR
Tipo 00 Ragu Bolognese, Gourmet Traveller. This is delicious as written, but SoRo can’t resist tweaking things. Consider adding a generous spash of milk, don’t worry too much if you don’t have all the spices, and if you’re feeling spicy season it with fish sauce and soy sauce at the end a la Mitch Orr’s recipe on instagram.

Harriet Davidson’s stewed fruit on the In Bed Store journal. Rhubarb! Prunes! Dates! Spoon it over porridge! Have it with granola and greek yoghurt!
LISTEN
SR
The Scaredy Cats Horror Show Podcast, Spotify. Horror movie bootcamp for the anxious and squeamish.
WATCH
SM
Normal People, Stan. The most bingeable show of the pandemic? Possibly. It’s so horny! And so sad!
BUY
SR
Antica Formula Vermouth, Dan Murphy’s. SoRo got influenced by the Tucci video. Just make sure you stir not shake your negronis.
