Dinners that we have had over the last few days. Firstly a spicy chicken wrap with salsa, guac and salad, and then a chicken, bacon and mushroom papperdelle, with a sprinkle of red chilli. Plenty of wine with both.

Home made pizza from the wood fired Ooni pizza oven. First attempt for 3 years or so since its last outing. Great tasting pizza and fabulous when you get it right… but lots of pitfalls for the unwary.

Not tonight, but lunch today …
Roast loin of pork (jucy scrummy meat and crisp finger licking crackling)
Roast potatoes in pork fat (crispy, crunchy and … )
Carrots in butter, microwave cooked with touch of real orange juice (mega carrot flavour)
And … THE STARS OF THE SHOW … Runner Beans
‘Lady Di’ stringless (they really are) sliced & prepared by the best Chef de Cuisine Extrordinair on the planet … simmered on the hob for 5 mins.

….. indeed runner beans are my must have summer veg.
Home grown …. the answer lies in the soil or should I say the home grown compost, the mid winter trench preparation and the following 3 months of settling time before planting out.

Visiting a good friend in Oslo. He is deep into hifi as well.
His wife made Pho. Coming from Vietnam and working as a chef here in Norway for more than 25 years it was good, even if the broth was not made with ox tails.

Fantastic! Pho and Ramen are two of my favorites.

The mistake of taking Mrs W food shopping with me. The plate, and what was left behind. We both enjoyed it, but it isn’t my choice.
It’s awkward transitioning from feeding myself, to us both.

Last night a 1.3kg tomahawk steak from Waitrose which was a reasonable £21.50/kg.
I’ve not been impressed with them in the past but this was gorgeous - I’m afraid I can’t justify £66/kg for their Cote de Boeuf anymore.
Also cooked some ‘reduced’ lamb leg and belly pork from Tesco (risks of shopping when hungry).
Lamb was lovely too:
Pork nice but didn’t crisp well on the BBQ (possibly my cooking technique as I didn’t want all the fat to drip, flame and char everything else):

Had Ben and Laura over for a very late lunch, a bit of a mezze style, so have a plate of what you fancy. Spicy BBQ chicken, a selection of flavoured sausages, then saute spuds, carrot and tomato salads, salsa and guacamole. On the board at the bottom is a crazy chocolate Barfi from Asma Kahan’s recipe. Mango and lime sorbet freshened us up after.

Looks scrumptious.
Is that lard on the top ?
Low fat cheddar.
