Get Chopping the veg, Get everything in, skins and all, it’s all flavour, slice up that smokey bacon and sprinkle over the top!

#GetAheadGravyDay
Oooh Bruce has heard the carrots being chopped, come to investigate and see if any gets thrown his way!

#GetAheadGravyDay
Chicken Wings!

All that bird flavour! Smash up the bones with a rolling pin or the heel of your knife.

#GetAheadGravyDay
@jamieoliver
Get it all in a big roasting tray! And scatter over all those herbs! Drizzle with some olive oil and then get your hands in and get it all mixed in!

***Bonus Throwback to #GetAheadGravyDay 2015 when my roasting pan was all shiny and new! ***

@jamieoliver
Seasoning! Get your Salt & Pepper on! 🧂 #GetAheadGravyDay @jamieoliver
Right time to get this in the oven!

1 Hour
180c / 350f / Gas 4

See you all in an hour for the hard work!
This is smelling amazing guys! Nearly time for the next stage.

#GetAheadGravyDay
What an hour can do! Just look at that roast! I could totally just eat this now, but then I’d have no gravy!

#GetAheadGravyDay
@jamieoliver
Now we’re cooking! 🤤

#GetAheadGravyDay
@jamieoliver
Next stage! Get it on a low heat on the job, grab a masher and start mashing up all the veg and chicken. Get all the sticky gnarly bits from the bottom and make sure it’s all mixed in. The longer you fry for, and the darker it is, the darker the gravy!
Right now we’ve got that fry on, 4 Tablespoons of plain flour, get it all mixed in and get the kettle on. Make sure the mix is throughly coated and then carefully pour 2 litres of boiling water in!

#GetAheadGravyDay
@jamieoliver
We’re on! Grab a spoon and make sure you scrape all the sticky bits from the bottom!

#GetAheadGravyDay
@jamieoliver
Right time to let it reduce and grab all that amazing flavour. I leave it about half an hour before we get it through the sieve!

#GetAheadGravyDay
@jamieoliver
Just take a look at that. We’re nearly ready for that money shot.

The recipe would’ve called for some Cranberry Sauce by now, but that’s going in on day when I add the turkey juices!

#GetAheadGravyDay
@jamieoliver
Right now it’s time to grab that heavenly gravy

My tip at the stage is to pass it through a colander to get a lot of the large bits out

#GetAheadGravyDay
@jamieoliver
Final Step! Pour it through the sieve, this will make the gravy smoooooth, super tasty and ready for the big day!

#GetAheadGravyDay
@jamieoliver
We’re there! #GetAheadGravy

Time to let it cool!
transfer to a freezer bag, and get it defrosted on Christmas Morning ready for the main event!
What a journey! I absolutely love making #GetAheadGravy Nearly as much as eating Christmas Dinner smothered in it! Thanks to the team at @jamieoliver for asking me to take part today! #GravyAmbassador #GetAheadGravyDay

Day 5 of the disciplinary hearing for PC Mark Alston, alleged to have used his baton in a violent, uncontrolled and dangerous manner when he used it to deliver a number of downward strikes at head height in a manner that was unreasoble in all the circumstances and risked causing
head injuries to protesters and striking Alfie Meadows with his baton and causing him a serious head injury. Alfie Meadows will be continuing to give evidence today. We adjourned yesterday mid examination by the defence barrister. Expected to begin in 15 minutes.
Alfie asked if he remembers how the officer in front of him hit the fence with the baton: Alfie remembers him hitting the fence with his baton and it going off to the officer's right. The fence was then behind him and the other officers.

Today is the day that Jer and I begin the journey home for the week.
I think I’ll use this as the thread for the trip. I’ll be using #BeenBaconBDA - feel free to follow or mute. 💜
So first off: I still have lingering snuffy nose from my cold. I'm spending today trying to get it fixed. Flying tonight will be interesting, and I hope my eardrums don't explode LOL

Today’s the day.

You followed the tracking number.

Took today after work to stay home for the package.

Say by the door, browsing social media while you waited.

Then a knock at the door sends your heart racing.

You sign for the package.

Oh god, it’s here.
The package isn’t big.

The small, gold card stock box inside is smaller.

The small gold velvet case inside that is just slightly smaller.

Inside that, nestled in gold silk is a coin, solid gold, about the diameter of a nickel & twice as thick.

Hands shaking, you pull it out.
It has a reeded edge, struck with the runes of the Elder Futhark. It’s reserve is a stylized image of a dragon. The obverse, a bust in profile of Freyja, Queen of Gold Dragons.

Shaking, you hold it tight in your hands and hold it close to your heart.

It’s warm. Comforting.

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether
