Bacon Wrapped Brussell Sprouts (air fryer)

Introducing Air Fryer Bacon Wrapped Brussels Sprouts! A slightly ridiculous but super fun and extremely delicious canape, appetiser or side dish. You never know, you might even convert a bacon-loving-brussels-hater into a sprout fan!

Serving bacon with sprouts is nothing new or ground breaking, the flavours are a longstanding match made in heaven.

Wrapping things is bacon isn’t a new concept either. Pigs in Blankets are a long term classic, especially at Christmas. And I have been serving my Bacon & Cherry Bites for many years now. They’re so high in demand!

I’m also not adverse to making unusual dishes with sprouts. My Satay Sprouts are somewhat legendary in certain circles and for good reason.

But bacon wrapped sprouts was a new one on me! I had an idea, I tried it and they were delish. I mean, is there anything you can’t wrap in bacon and make it super amazing?

LEMON AND GARLIC CLOVES IN A JAR

As winter sets in, the absence of fresh produce can be a challenge for home cooks seeking to infuse their dishes with vibrant flavors. However, a solution lies in the age-old technique of preserving lemons and garlic cloves in a jar. This culinary preservation method not only ensures a readily available source of bright, zesty lemons and pungent garlic throughout the colder months but also opens up a world of possibilities for enhancing a wide range of recipes.

THE METHOD:

Selecting the Ingredients: To embark on this culinary journey, start with fresh, unwaxed lemons and firm, unblemished garlic bulbs. Look for lemons with bright, unblemished skins, as these will yield the best results.

Preparing the Lemons: Wash and thoroughly dry the lemons. Cut them into quarters, lengthwise, stopping just short of the base so that the quarters remain attached.

Salting the Lemons: Generously sprinkle salt on the exposed flesh of the lemons. The salt acts as a preservative and also helps draw out the lemon juice.

Packing the Jar: Take a clean, sterilized glass jar with an airtight seal. Place a layer of coarse sea salt at the bottom of the jar, creating a bed for the lemons.

Layering with Lemons and Garlic: Nestle the salted lemon quarters into the jar, pressing them gently to release more juice. As you layer the lemons, intersperse them with peeled garlic cloves. The garlic imparts its distinct flavor and aroma to the preserved lemons.

Additional Flavorings (Optional): For added depth of flavor, consider including bay leaves, whole black peppercorns, or even a cinnamon stick. These optional additions infuse the jar with nuanced aromatic notes.

Laundry dries in 10 minutes in this part of the house and no one thinks about it

Hey, let’s talk laundry! Specifically, about those winter months where you don’t have a dryer and need to get creative with where and how you hang up your clothes to dry. It can be a real challenge, can’t it? Clothes sprawled everywhere, taking ages to dry… But don’t worry! We’ve got some awesome tips to get your laundry dry, nice and quick.

Quick Tips for Faster Drying:

First off, did you know your washing machine has a secret weapon for faster drying? Yep, it’s the spin cycle! This super handy feature gets rid of a lot of that excess water, meaning your clothes will dry a lot faster once they’re out. People often skip it thinking it’ll make their clothes super wrinkled, but trust us, a good spin (especially at high speeds) is your friend when it comes to laundry day.
Here’s a tip: when you’re hanging up your clothes, do it carefully to avoid creases, and you might even skip the need to iron!

Using Heat Safely :

Using a heat source can speed things up, too! Pop your drying rack in front of a radiator, a warm oven, or even a fireplace (with caution!). Just make sure that your clothes aren’t too close together – they need good air circulation to dry effectively, and you want to avoid any unwanted damp smells.

Remember: If you’re using a stove for heat, keep that room well-ventilated to avoid mold!
