We joke that the reason why this generation is fucked up is because of chicken nuggets. The conspiracy theory is that the chicken where nuggets come from are so full of hormones and other secret drugs that it’s to blame for young people’s anxiety, depression, eczema etc. It has to be right?? And not really because their grand-parents (yup, look past us GenXers!) fucked up the world as we know it today!

I only bought a bag of Tegel nuggets because it was half-price, I was needing some protein pick-me-up and it cooks in all of 10 minutes in the air-fryer.

Too much of a good thing
I put my Wonky Box subscription on hold because it wasn’t long before I was drowning in a glut of vegetables. Thanks to TikTok, I saw a good way of preparing cauliflower. By boiling it first, you cut down the cooking process when you either roast or grill it. But don’t overcook it and make sure that it’s absolutely dry when you take the next step. I literally drowned it in olive oil and melted butter before putting it in the oven. Serve it like I do with my special sauce (mayo, mustard and hot sauce) and bagel seasoning.

Didn’t realise how simple it is to make fudge. I love fudge; I don’t have a sweet tooth but when I do crave for something sweet, I go for a packet of fudge because it’s like the supernova of sweet things - all that sugary sweetness concentrated in a bar no bigger than your thumb. This is peanut-butter fudge, recipe from the NY Times.

We’re Christmas-cake connoisseurs.
This year, we ordered a total of four kilos of the stuff from our favourite supplier. Every now and then, Berta supplies us with exotics; last year, it was Jamaican black-cake, and this year, a more traditional one albeit boozed up with 75 year old bourbon whisky.
