I just started sneezing and coughing like crazy. Nothing to do with Coronavirus though, it has more to do with the pepper and spice mix that I just ground up with the mortar and pestle and then put in 3 litres of boiling water. The bloody stuff is damn near toxic.

When it cools down I will pop in a great lump of beef that in 4 days time will become a spicy corned beef.

When I do this I tend to use a liberal hand with whatever we have available but I can't help wondering if I didn't exaggerate this time.

Corned beef is unknown in Italy so if I want some I have to make it myself. Commercial corned beef probably uses little or no spices but if you prepare it yourself it is easy enough and much nicer.

Yesterday I made some Anzac Biscuits (never cookies).

My next trick will be to make some fudge.
