Hot Melty Cheese, Gin for your Hands and a Structural Routine

It’s week 23412432 of social isolation and we’re kinda finding our groove? SoMo is in bed by 9 and SoRo is ticking off a chore chart like a small child..so you be the judge I guess. This week we’ve got salty sodas and cake with vegetables. We’re reading semi-apocalyptic literature in the sun and treating Youtube like a Blockbuster. Get into it!
EAT
SM
SoMo has been baking a whole wheel of Clarines in the oven and calling it a ‘snack’.
SR
Cabbage is having a moment! SoRo’s making salad with it. Slice a white cabbage really thin with a sharp knife, toss it with sliced green onions, torn mint, and a vinaigrette made with 50/50 lemon juice and fancy white wine (or sherry or bonito) vinegar. Shower it in a healthy coating of parmesan or pecorino and pretend you’re sitting at the bar at Ragazzi.
WATCH
SM
Portrait of a Lady on Fire, rent it on Youtube. Smouldering glances! Long walks on cold, windy beaches!
READ
SR
The Glass Hotel by Emily St John Mandel. Booktopia or Gleebooks. A new book by the queen of pandemic fiction herself! (Consider re-reading Station Eleven while you’re at it).
BUY

Very Good Films.co. Essentially a catalogue of Very Good Films and where to watch them. Easy to navigate, cool web design. Like!
Beetroot, chocolate ganache cake. It’s dense but moist and you just pour ganache all over the top of it. So. Good.
Did you know that you should put salt in your porridge? It makes it so much better.
