I’m with you! Totally agree. I’ve been extolling the virtues of respecting January’s natural demands which are completely opposite to popular ‘thinking’ for many years now. This pie is right up my street. In fact just last night I had a fish pie with haddock! The leeks sell it for me (I use them instead of onions almost everywhere). I’m looking forward to making your version of a satisfying, stomach and heart warming dish for this freezing spell and wait quietly for Imbolc at the start of Feb which for me is the true ‘new year’ and when I celebrate …
It's funny isn't it that we feel like we need to have a sense of renewal around this time of year when everything else around us is so dormant. I do think we need to lean into this month as a good one to recharge and prepare for the start of spring. I am counting down the days now for longer evenings! Although these cold but sunny days are stunning!
My mouth doth watereth ;-). Completely agree with you. We do need to tune into the seasons, absolutely, not to mention erring more on the side of analogue as opposed to digital and its plethora of gadgets strapped to the skin. We're humans, not machines, and 'tis a time for inwardness and reflection, primarily, as far as one's circumstances allow. All power, nurturance and nourishment to your family and your mouth-wateringly wintery attunement..x
I'm so on board with this comment, I can't stand these various gadgets that monitor every part of our being... I don't want or need my watch to tell me that I've not slept enough. To be honest I'd happily do without clocks and watches all together, although I think friends and family would agree haha
I'm with you there. I haven't worn a watch for years. Much of the measurement of 'time' feels like a series of habits and a calendar which offsets from natural rhythms. I so agree. These gadgets feel, to me, like a further divorcing of folk from their natural instincts. Personally, I feel no need, whatsoever, to count my steps, daily, in order to conform an arbitrary line in the sand pertaining (apparently) to 'health' afforded by an external authority in the form of a digital device ;-).
Totally agree with the need to rest and restore during January. I was excited about this recipe and made this pie yesterday. It was so so yummy and satisying...truly delicious 😋 As a pescatarian I will definitely try it with the smoked haddock too.
