Rissoto this evening. Chicken liver and herb. Dodgy photos but was very good. Presentation isn't a priority

Garlic, herby, peppery chicken to be had with a Jacket tate and Tomato salad. Followed by white wine, unchilled and in a tumbler! Heathen!!!

Heathen! Wine is wine though at the end of the day, regardless of how it's served. That chicken looks like it was gonna be good.

This morning I have a whole pile of blueberries and lingonberries to clean. I use a scoop-rake for the picking, which is unbelievably quick (15kg in 40 minutes) but you have to riddle the berries to get the leaves, little twigs and pine needles out of them.

 

And then I also have about 3kg of chanterelles to clean too. They are growing very extensively this year.

 

In terms of actual cooking, I did a moose joint last night, which will be my lunch/dinner at work for the next few days. Bread will be baked next weekend too.

 

With all the cycling I do (12-15hrs a week on average), I have to cook and bake a lot just to eat healthily and affordably. We're very luck though to have the forest on the doorstep for all the berries. About 100kg will do us for the year, and we have the freezer space for that.
