Q: No, no, no, Tanner isn't a Cinnamon Roll too good for this world he's a good dependable British Chelsea Bun

or how Tnner got his nickname

Everyone knows Q and his minions love memes as much as they love sweet and sticky treats there is even a round-robin email group specifically for sharing them so it should have surprised no one when Q was heard in unhushed tones telling the whole of Q Branch " No, no, no Tanner isn't a cinnamon roll he's a good dependable British Chelsea Bun. If a few days later several boxes turquoise boxes of Fitzbillies' Chelsea buns arrived from Cambridge and a certain chief of staff was seen wiping sticky kisses from his blushing cheeks they were after all one of young Q's favourites when he was a precociously young Cambridge undergrad recipe beneath the cut

For the dough 200ml 3/4cup plus 2 tbsp Milk 60g/4Tbsp+1tsp butter 450g/1lb/3+2//3 cups plain /all-purpose flour 2 tbsp caster /fine sugar 5g quick yeast/1 sachet 1 egg, lightly beaten Zest of 1 unwaxed lemon 1 tsp mixed spice/pumpkin spice 1 tsp salt

For the filling: 30g2 tbsp +1 tsp butter, slightly softened 35g soft brown sugar 100g currants (small raisins will do at a pinch)

For the glaze: 2 tbsp caster sugar 1 tbsp milk 2 tbsp demerara sugar (optional)

For the dough Heat the milk and the butter until blood warm if you can stick your little finger in and it feels neither hot nor cold that's about right add the sachet of yeast and set aside

Put the flour, salt, and sugar n a large bowl and whisk to combine add the milk yeast, and beaten egg and stir until it forms a soft dough/

now add the lemon zest and mixed spice and mix again

Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and knead for about 10 minutes / about 5 if you are using a stand mixer with a dough hook the dough should be smooth and elastic. Cover and put in a warm place for one to two hours or until it has doubled in size.

knock back the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface roll the dough out until you have a rectangle that is approximately 25cm by 35 cm or 10 by 14 inches. working with the longer sides toward you smear the softened butter over the surface of the dough sprinkling the sugar and currents over the top.

roll the dough from the edge furthest away from you keeping the roll as tight as possible.

cut the dough into nine even pieces and place them swirl-side up into a greased 27cm square or 10-11 inch tin spacing the rolls out so they have room to prove cover and prove for 30-45 minutes

Pre-heat the oven to 200C (180C fan)/390F/gas 6 and bake the buns for 20-30 minutes covering with foil if the currents start to burn

For the glaze heat the milk in the same pan or bowl you used to melt the butter stir in the sugar until it dissolves. Brush the glaze onto the buns as soon as they come out of the oven optionally sprinkle the demerara sugar on top. leave to cool before devouring with a nice cup of Earl Grey

007 Fest - Food Day Cocktail

Mr. Hinx Fizzy

2 oz. champagne 1 oz. blended lightly aged (white) rum 1 oz. dry gin  1 oz. rye 1 1/2 oz. pineapple juice 1/2 oz. lime juice 1/2 oz. passion fruit syrup 1/2 oz. apricot liqueur mint sprig

Combine all ingredients except champagne and mint sprig in a blender with crushed ice. Flash blend and open pour into a large snifter or wine glass with the two ounces of champagne already in it. Garnish with mint. 

The Mr. Hinx Fizzy is a massive drink for a mountain of a man! The titular Mr. Hinx is an intelligent and sophisticated assassin who enjoys the finer things in life—like this take on the popular Hinky Dinks Fizzy. The delightful citrus-and-sweet-fruit bubbly concoction tickles his (admittedly subtle) funny bone, but it needs a little extra oomph to impress a man of refined taste. Choosing champagne over a generic sparkling wine gives this drink an optional clout, but it’s the extra ounce of rye that provides depth of flavor while toning down the sweetness of the passion fruit syrup. 

Note: Don’t be fooled by the sound of this fruity champagne cocktail. This isn’t your average brunch drink; this is a drink designed to take you out! To avoid getting severely fucked up by this deceptively boozy cocktail, I suggest sharing this drink with a friend…or cutting the recipe in half for a serving size suitable for a regular-sized human.

Hey when you move out on your own the most important food tip I can give you is “maybe you don’t hate x maybe your guardians just cooked it wrong”

The number of foods I have learned I really like if they’re Fucking Seasoned

The number of foods I’ve introduced friends to that they warned me they’d always hated til I let them try a piece of mine

Also marinade things for 24 hours the second you have your own fridge it is a GAME CHANGER you thought you knew food but you have never met her

Tuesday, October 24, 2023 12pm ET: Across The Tracks: National Food Day

Food Day in the United States is celebrated annually on October 24 and often throughout the month. The celebration was started in 1975 by the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) in an attempt to create an event similar to Earth Day.
