Cheese
As is quite usual for a Friday, Stephen and I both had big lunches. Unusually, there was a food fair near our office at which there was a good selection of cheeses. We bought Godminster Cheddar and Vacherin Mont d’Or. So, that’s what we had to eat this evening, with a selection of crackers and […]
Read More..>>Lentils and Pizza Toast…
…but not together, obviously. Stephen had the lentilly thing because they’re just too hippy for me, I had the pizza toast because, well…any excuse really 🙂 Pizza toast was just half a cook-at-home ciabatta loaf with cheese and the last of the birthday chorizo. As tasty as ever. Can’t remember what Stephen did to the […]
Read More..>>Steak and Mash
I have a weakness for mash. Especially mustardy, buttery mash. So I am quite happy to have it with almost anything. Kerri was out yesterday evening, so I had steak with mustardy, buttery mash. The mash was really good. The steak was average; I should have been more selective when buying it and should also […]
Read More..>>Beef Casserole and Baked Camembert
A couple of days ago we decided to make a casserole for future consumption. Where “future” means “after a night out and are really hungry but can’t be bothered to cook”. The night out in question was last night and I had a small helping then, but we ate the rest of it tonight. The […]
Read More..>>Pizza Toast
After a very boring evening of ironing and packing away my summer clothes, there wasn’t much time left for cooking so, I made my very special cheese on toast. Organic white bread (unsliced so I can get just the right thickness) toasted, spread with a small amount of tomato pesto, topped with chorizo, mature cheddar […]
Read More..>>Cheese on Toast. And Meatballs.
We both had relatively large lunches today, so decided to settle for cheese on toast for dinner. We also had some meatballs left over from last night, so decided to use those up. I piled my meatballs on top of my cheese on toast to create a sort of impromptu meatball pizza. Kerri was less […]
Read More..>>British Tapas
Being my birthday, we decided to have a party. Kerri and I had been discussing the topic of “British Tapas” for quite a while and talking about what sorts of dishes (if any) would both fit this category and be delicious. So we decided to do some experimentation and invited some people round to be […]
Read More..>>Pizza
We started this blog on a Saturday. We were supposed so start it on a Friday with our first post being about pizza. We made the pizza but it was something of a disaster; out of date yeast, resorting to pre-packed pizza base mix, forgetting to leave the dough to rest…you get the idea. But […]
Read More..>>Halloumi with Roasted Vegetables
We got carrots and courgettes in our vegetable box this week, we got them last week too and didn’t eat them. In an effort to use them up we decided on roasted vegetables with halloumi. It was tasty. And squeaky.
Read More..>>Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese Sandwich
In an attempt to atone for the over-indulgence of the pie and the casserole I ate this weekend, for lunch I had a smoked salmon sandwich. I made it myself (I’m not a fan of pre-packaged sandwiches), the bread was Vogel’s sunflower and barley (my favourite), the salmon was Scottish oak-smoked from Marks and Spencer […]
