• I think pain au chocolates might have started making me day-long sick. Is that possible?
  • Made this ottolenghi with the first of my three hokkaido squashes. I’ve never had a hokkaido squash before but I liked it. I’ll definitely order more of them for next year.
  • Although it’s dead easy to save squash seeds, squashes are really promiscuous so the seeds from a Hokkaido could give you any old squash plant.

  • Peakon season! [redacted]
  • My boy has the most lovely curly top.
