It’s good Friday and it’s definitely busier out. I had to wait to get out onto Estcourt Road. Large queue at Tesco too.

Couple of weeks in
The choice of TV to watch is definitely becoming more important. Jamie Oliver has a special lockdown cookery show, I happened to have some cubed beef so was inspired to follow his beef hotpot recipe - it was delicious.
Yesterday I started to watch a documentary about the Spanish flu pandemic. It was just too real life so I stopped after 1 minute.
Recipe
Cut into 1 inch chunks - 2 carrots, 2 onions, 2 celery sticks (I added more carrots)
Add herbs (he suggested rosemary, I didn’t have any dominos added a bit of sage)
Fry them in olive oil
Add a heaped table spoon of flour and stir
Pour in a bottle of beer
Add a tin on tomatoes
Fill the tin with water and add that too
Season
Put the raw beef in the pan
(I added 1 teaspoon mustard powder and a glug of Henderson’s relish)
Cover and put in 160° oven for 2 hours
Par boil potatoes in 1cm slices for 10 minutes
Place on top of beef stew
Brush with olive oil
Back in the oven uncovered at 180° for 40 minutes
