I'm sipping gazpacho from a mug during the day to stay sane. Dutch heat is relentless, it feels so much hotter than it is.
2kg of local cherries in the fridge.
Naked oats with fried finely sliced onion, bacon and peppers. Young broad beans, briefly boiled. Olive oil, lemon juice, feta.

Hello #foodsky people, I'm looking for inspiration to help a friend.
They're looking for (metric) cookbooks to help them learn how to cook, ideally for one. So nothing complicated, novice level.
Does anyone have ideas or tips?
(@kavey.bsky.social or @nicmiller.bsky.social maybe? 🙏)

ICYMI my latest cookbook review is for a title released last year, Simply Malaysian by Mandy Yin. It's a really great book for those seeking quicker, simpler recipes for when you're tight on time, and everything we've made has been so good!

Louder for the people in the back!
I just think that if you want to interject yourself into a conversation with people you don't really know, either online or rl, you have a responsibility to be interesting and not an ass.

I have an 18L pot called Henk.
My fridge doesn’t have a name, but my rice cooker has a name and a title
Baffled by people who name their cars - do they have a cutesy name for their fucking fridge too?

Ages ago @toonspin.nl joked that his friend with an onion allergy would die even coming near my house. Every time I do something like this it still pops up in my mind and makes me laugh. 😂
8 onions gently frying, batch cooking sauces for the freezer.

Standing at the kitchen counter at midnight like a hamster in the dark, wafers in one hand and a glass of water in the other, I suddenly realised I have become my father. 😂

I'm on this hill too and never coming off of it.
Trying to find a different word to describe a moist cake is difficult because no other word truly means the same thing. I know many people hate that word, but that is the best word to describe that type of cake and I will die on that hill.

Just FYI there’s an account on here called @redditspaceviewes.bsky.social (with over 200k followers) that is posting a bunch of AI slop (including a “Saturn polar hexagon” with 8 sides) and claiming it’s NASA imagery. If you see anything posted by them, it’s likely fake.

I don't dare truly rejoice yet, but I have the feeling that after months my immunosuppressants finally started working. My appetite is returning with a vengance and I plan on making good use of it.
Afternoon snack - banana pancakes, bacon, maple syrup. 😁

Early '60s Paragon, all mine. Ridiculously pleased. 😁
Bought 4, got a 'less pristine' (I can barely see it) one for free + a little dish that will be great for chocolates.
All @louanja.bsky.social 's fault btw.

Sometimes you find things that just hit the spot.
Got rye sourdough with nuts and raisins, and amazing fenugreek cheese from an organic farm. Bit of butter and the combination is just... man. Someone take this away from me, I need to stop eating!

Funeral is behind us. Almost emptied out the house yesterday.
I slept on mum's bed, which is now mine.
For the first time in a long time I'm having coffee in bed, listening to music, cookbook on my lap. Finally have time to enjoy the lovely chocolates @yvdutchpagan.bsky.social gave me.
Small steps.
