Home-made Bento: Iron Isles-inspired Fish Stew



Sadly, this version may not please the true Ironborn, given heavy cream is replaced with low fat milk, but the myriad seafood therein still present tasty morsels, all in a light broth better to soak your black bread in. Though House Greyjoy proudly proclaim that they "do not sow", the fish stew is sided by some lightly stirfried greens, to keep scurvy and other seafaring ills at bay.

Hollow out your trenchers and eat hearty! Monday is coming...

Home-made: Grilled Veggies, Bang Bang Chicken + White Button Shrooms, "Forbidden Rice"

On this week's menu: Grilled Veggies, Bang Bang Chicken + White Button Shrooms, "Forbidden Rice"!
Really glad "Forbidden Rice", an umbrella term for several types of black rice, is now readily available at the bigger supermarkets. Delicious nutty flavour and very rich in anthocyanins! Looking forward to bento lunch tomorrow (especially since eating out on Friday led to an unpleasant two days of the runs)! =0

Home-made: Blueberry Poppyseed Muffins



Blueberry poppyseed muffins, fresh out of the oven and just in time for tea! ;3 made with 100% wholemeal flour and rolled oats so they didn't rise as high as I hoped!






Chef's further comments: despite comprising only wholemeal flour and oats as a base, the recipe turned out surprisingly tender and moist muffins with loose crumb!!!
