Bluesky cooks, mainly @petefrasermusic.bsky.social with your Asian cuisine and egg cooking knowledge. Red miso paste, open jar - says use within 4 weeks, being fermented, this is gubbins right? I say this not as a newbie cook, but new to using these sorts of ingredients.

After not doing much musically in recent years, tonight I'm being played on local/online radio. Which, whilst small steps, is still exciting.

So I played a gig last night. And had a few people say the song I wrote about the grief of losing a parent suddenly this year really resonated with them. That meant a lot, it's only a small provincial town pub venue but it's some of the nicest comments I've received about one of my songs.

Made Romesco for the first time. So obviously I dipped the flip out of some homemade pizza in it.
