I am a quite possibly the most disorganised cook/mother/teacher/housekeeper/gardener ever Roselle, I have not one small part of Christmas preparations finished yet (no tree up, no menu, no presents wrapped...) nothing is planned but I refuse to worry, the day will happen whether I’m ready or not!
Your nut roast (one of my favorite festive foods) sounds delicious and I have all the ingredients, walnuts from our own trees and chestnuts ready for use in the freezer... so thank you, that, at least is one meal planned! X
Hello Susie - bet you're not as disorganised as me! But we're bringing our rooted tree in tomorrow, for the solstice. I like having several celebrations! I haven't wrapped presents yet either.
Sending you all wishes for a wonderful year's turning.
That sounds delicious! I love a good nut/shroom loaf. When I'm making a dish with onions and sage, I like to saute the sage along with the onions. I feel like that really opens up its flavor. But that may just be my personal taste. Blessings of the season to you all on your lovely land!
Yes, you're welcome to. I'm really enjoying following your journey. We're hoping to do something similar, in the mountains north of here (in the US) if we can manage it. You're definitely providing inspiration!
Yum! Def an easier recipe than mine. I might add some miso paste and use sun dried tomatoes in oil and use the oil for the first step…..problem is fresh sage. Mine has all died back.
This sounds great - I'm looking forward to giving the recipe a go!

Thank you Roselle - and to you too, I think Solstice is quite possibly my favorite day of the year..!
I’m working all day so sadly celebrating will be minimal... I’m going to make your nut loaf though...!! X
Yes, mine too, Susie. Much more so than the summer solstice, too.
Hope you like the nut roast!
sounds lovely
Thanks Lucya! Must head over to your substack blog.
Sounds wonderful and so hearty.
Ah thank you Jan. More anon, and solstice blessings and etc.

Ah thank you! I came across that in another recipe. Indeed. May I amend and credit you?
Blessings to you, too, Laura; and thank you for the connection.

Yes miso would be great. Sundrieds in oil - have done that - works v well but you then have to add water. As broad as it's long, as my mum would say.
Oh bless you for this Jack - from you, quite a compliment. Thank you.
Someone suggested crisping the sage leaves first. Am going to do that.
