On Masterchef, when they say "everything rests on this last dish", they mean it. Once you're out that door you're straight on a barge to be shackled to a disused oil rig rusting in the North Sea. Nude. #nofilter #truestory #oilrigshacklesofinstagram
Today's "thing" is gonna be a Poached & Roasted chicken with almond & thyme crust and chargrilled cauliflower – another from @marcuswareing 's 2009 "Nutmeg & Custard". Can't say it looks like the one he made – this one's more like a Scotch Chicken. #verysubstantial
That's the spring-cleaning done then – "working" shelf in the kitchen sorted! Smokey top-left, rum in the middle, gin on the right, and the #shelfofhighballhappiness below.
Tonight's culinary joy – a deep cut from @marcuswareing 's first book, a stunning pumpkin, courgette & piquillo pepper pesto lasagne! #pumpkinseedsftw
Lovely day for a walk, no? #hailcaesar
These were FAR superior to the hot cross bun situation. Would recommend. #umami #abitnutty #omnomnom
I ask you – is there ANYTHING Marmite's sweet, sophisticated, seductive flavour cannot improve?
Maybe I'm just old-fashioned, but surely we can set the bar a little higher than this as a society. Can't we? #iagreeitsnuts
It's that fine line between "joyous" and "frigging annoying".
Who the hell is Jason B. Standing?
Since throwing caution to the wind and moving from Adelaide to London in 2004, Jason has totally embraced his passions of travelling, going to live music & comedy gigs, appreciating ludicrously tasty whisky, and t-shirts. Mmmmm… t-shirts…
Around 2014ish he packed up and went West, throwing down new roots in the throbbing city of Bristol, where he now lives with his wonderful wife, and the finest labrador in history: Larry B Standing.
Professionally he’s in the software development business, and occupies his spare time doing pretty much anything that comes up in conversation & looks interesting. He is really impressed by people who do science (properly).
