Pumpkin Soup for the Soul

January 18, 2022January 11, 2022 Medic 0 Comments pumpkin, recipe, soup, spuffood

This year, the winter season has been very odd. Normally, November and December are colder, cold enough to warrant making soup. Late December and January however have proved me wrong, making things cold and wet and miserable. So I’ve decided to make some soup. Pumpkin soup. Ingredients Pumpkin of some sort, with seeds and skin removed A couple of onions, sliced Some potatoes, peeled and scrubbed About 5-6 cloves of garlic, sliced and mushed (not bulbs) A decent amount of Mixed Spices A teaspoon of cinnamon, cloves and paprika One stock cube of your choice Salt and Pepper, but not… [Continue Reading]

Fruity Mincemeat-like Chutney-Jam

December 14, 2021December 7, 2021 Medic 0 Comments Christmas, chutney, cooking, jam, mince pies, recipe, SPUFood

About five years ago, the family cooked up some home-made mincemeat. The process took hours, slowly chopping or cooking the many, many ingredients. That mincemeat ended up being amazing. And since we sealed the jars shut, the mincemeat actually lasted for a couple of years. However, we never really made it again, because it was time-consuming. Luckily, I have a way to speed things up. It’s not mincemeat, not the proper stuff. Quick-ish Mincemeat-like Chutney-jam This stuff looks like mincemeat and tastes sweet like mincemeat does. If you have a food processor or blender, it makes everything way, way easier.… [Continue Reading]

INSTANT CAKE MIX IS CHEATING

June 16, 2017September 28, 2017 Medic 0 Comments cake, instant cake mix, ramble, rant, recipe

I’m in a bad mood. I’ve been looking up easy home-made cake recipes. I have been cheated. Half the recipes I have found have been instant cake mix plus the standard ingredients you need to make said instant cake mix. This is not baking. This is cheating. Now, I’m not saying that instant cake mix is evil and should be banned. Instant cake mix is a lazy, silly thing to have, considering that a cake 99% of the time is flour, sugar, eggs and a fat of some sort. Plus some baking powder. So spending money on a ready-made mixture… [Continue Reading]

Little tiny changes!

Something magical has happened. As I was eating my awesome home-made vegetable soup the other day, I noticed something unusual. I suddenly had more power. I could change things I could not change before. Lots of magical, wonderful things. So I got to work and made a few… changes around here. First off, our wonderful sticky bomb favicon is back. Fuck yeah! Aaby missed the poor thing, and it’s technically our logo. Hence why it’s all over our social media pages. Then I went and made sure we had a proper mobile site. That’s currently not working very well, so… [Continue Reading]
