Yesterday I cooked the recipe for slow cooked Sifnos Chickpeas shared by Jeremy Cherfas @jeremycherfas. Definitely worth the long cooking time. It was delicious served with freekeh, rocket and some aioli.

Trying a white stout for the first time.
Nethergate Brewery White Stout 🍺
>This new hazy beer is pale in colour, yet delivers the rich, creamy textures which you would expect from a traditional stout, while its infusion of vanilla pods and cocoa nibs creates silky vanilla notes and hints of chocolate. Hops: Boadicea, Challenger

I haven’t used Flickr too much recently but I am now trying their 21st birthday 21 Day Flickr Birthday Photo Challenge.
It’s got very flexible rules for adding photos – you could even upload all 21 entries on the same day! Plus there’s no restrictions on when the photos are taken, so I’ll probably just try a daily trawl through my photo library for an appropriate image.
