Are you fed-up with garbage, full-of-shit sites where nobody actually communicates, such as Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Twitter? Do you wish your old friends who've migrated to those sites would return to LiveJournal? The the_lj_revival community has been set up with that aim in mind, and you are invited to join it. If you are already on LiveJournal and still have a Facebook profile, and would like to see more people returning to LJ or setting up accounts here, we invite you to post a link to this community on your Facebook Timeline. If you would like to find out who is still using LiveJournal and make contact with those who are already here, you are invited to copy and paste the 'about me' questions on the profile page and post them with your answers to the community.

Pea and Dill Risotto

Here is my latest YouTube video. A wonderful fresh spring recipe to try!





If you go and watch the video don't forget to subscribe!



Pea and Dill risotto is a great stand alone dish but it would also make a great accompaniment to a freshly grilled piece of salmon or chicken.
Dill can be a wonderful herb, but it must be fresh and used judiciously.
Risotto is moreish but I have made this recipe slightly smaller to give you three, tasty, medium-sized portions.

You can find the printed version on my recipe here.

    Mulled Wine Recipes

    What are your preferred recipes for mulled wine?

    Recently I bought a bottle of red blend wine that turned out not to be to my taste for drinking, but I don't want to just pour the whole bottle out since I've only had a glass. The thought occurred to me that I could try my hand at making mulled wine, but the amount of recipes out there were a bit daunting. So I turn to y'all for help.

    Coyoty makes a pepperoni and blueberry pizza.

    Pepperoni and blueberry pizza

    If it works for pineapple...

    ...it doesn't necessarily work for blueberries. There's nothing bad about it, but blueberries just don't hold up as well as pineapple as a topping. Their flavor's not as strong and they might as well not be there. Maybe they don't have the sharp acidity that makes pineapple stand out.

    I don't know how they are all facing the same direction. I just tossed them randomly. My strange luck again.

    The recipe was simple: Preheat oven to 500° F., oil the pan with avocado oil, spread out the dough, lay the sauce, sprinkle with ground black pepper and green chili flakes, cover with shredded mozzarella, lay the pepperoni, cover with more mozzarella, lay the blueberries, and bake for 10 minutes.
