Fever tree's a British company but they sell worldwide. They're a huge success story because no one else was making good tonic before them and there was absolutely a need for it.

for the citrus gin lovers, get your hands on some Malfy con Limone. it's distilled in Italy and it's like if limoncello and gin had a baby. there's also blood orange and grapefruit versions, but the lemon is the standout.

I bought Finton’s from Lidl for damson gin, and have a bit leftover. It’s decent. Especially at the price. I don’t love Gordon’s. I don’t like most spirits but I really enjoy a good G&T. It’s the only liquor I drink with any frequency.

A local brewery makes ginger beer: beer with a goodly amount of ginger added to give it a real kick. It’s absolutely delicious. And close enough that I can hop in my bike and be there in 5 minutes to pick up more when needed.

Absolutely not. Make your own! Clement also makes a really good agricole-based coconut liqueur, you might blend that with your rum of choice.

I have an urgent question:

Can you make a grilled cheese when one of the slices of bread is an end piece? Should I turn it upside down and do it that way? What is the way to do this?

Inside Crusters have a vile secret deep within them, the burden of which they find somewhat relieved by the mirroring of this awful situation in their cooking. If you were an InCruster you'd already be doing it as naturally as one scratches an itch. If you're having to ask, you're normal.

in god we incrust, heathen

You can ease into the incrust life by making the crust-cheese boundary less jarring until you build up a tolerance. The easiest transition tip for a first-timer is to put Ritz brand crackers between the crust and the cheese. Ritz is nature's crust-bread hybrid, you see

I got four of the biggest beets I've ever seen in this week's CSA haul.



That's a full size can of cat food for reference. Each one is well over a pound.

God I love beets. I would slice them and cook em with a little butter, water sugar, salt and pepper and a lettuce leaf. Cover and steam until tender. So delicious. Beets are one of my favorites.

I do beets in the instant pot because it's so easy. I actually usually get bigger ones than yours, because when they're spherical, the ratio of insides to peel is so much better.

Wash your beets (cut off the roots/stems but don't peel). Put a couple cups of hot water into the instant pot, then the steamer insert. Pressure cook about 45 minutes. Pull them out and put them on a plate or something to cool. When they're cool, you can use a paper towel to rub off the skins easily. Then I put them in the fridge and eat them for like a week with butter and salt, but you can do whatever.

Beet and mint soup with yoghurt or sour cream is delicious too. Pickle some of them. Cook, dress with vinegar and mint for easy and tasty salad/side. Grate and make a beet curry with coconut milk - very good. Oh! This is spectacular but needs more cooking time than they say: I par cook them in the microwave first.

The key for summer borscht, besides serving cold, is tons of fresh dill to brighten it up.

If you have a way to make ice cream a beet sorbet can be kinda nice. Brighten it up with some citrus juice.
Cook beets however you normally do puree them adjust sweetness, acid, salt etc...

I hate dill which is why I mentioned mint. Mint and beetroot is very good.

We sometimes make a very simple soup, using a food processor or blender. Chuck some cooked beets, a bit of cooking juice if available, yoghurt and a splash of vinegar into the blender and blend. Maybe chill for a bit afterwards. That's it. Delicious.
