Dinner

Lake District dinner, five day marinaded mushroom stuffed porchetta. Crackling was fucked because I set the oven too high when I went for a shower, and got back to a cold oven after a five hour walk around coniston water, so thought it hadn't cooked properly.
But tastes great and will do again sooner rather than later...

went to my dad's on boxing day, he sent me home at the end of the evening with a lump of corned beef he'd made that was the size of my head. have been eating at least one of these a day since, bloomin gorgeous.

@CYOA surely leaving them to dry after peeling makes them go that funky brown colour?

Holy fuck

(corned beef previous page)

Weirdly not. They looked just dandy in all three stages (dried, parboiled, roasted). Again, the leaving them out overnight was largely a drunken error but it paid off.

Time for the annual round of Lutefisk. Didn't like it 3 years ago, kinda ok 2 years ago, slightly better last year, might actually enjoy it this year. We'll see.

Why?

Fuck. That.

Toptip! Improve your life by 100% by choosing not to eat rotten fish soaked in poison.

can anyone advise me on getting more oily fish into my diet? I generally don't like 'fishy' fish I will however happily chomp on battered and breaded cod and haddock, but not so much on salmon fillets. Is there an easy and tasty way to cook mackerel or sardines for instance that masks the fishy/oily aspects but still delivers the omega 3 benefits? cheers

Fishcakes.
Janssons temptation.
salad nicoise.
How are you with sushi?
Fish stew

Intro, super easy mackerel salad - http://www.deliciousmagazine.co.uk/recipes/smoked-mackerel-salad/

cheers, smoked mackerel looks the thing

and fishcakes

If you're interested I've got a great recipe for Janssons Temptation, I'm yet to taste a better one than our family recipe does

Done. Pretty neutral this year, might actually tip the scale and enjoy it next year.

Homemade Cornish Pasties for lunch today. Beef skirt, potato, swede and onion with a little salt and pepper wrapped up in rough puff pastry.
We add butter after they are done, as they don't have enough calories.... (Think it might be a Scillonian thing as I haven't come across anyone outside of Scilly who does this)

These are rather in the small side as we were having homemade bakewell tarts for pudding, normally they wouldn't fit on the plate and would do as your only meal for the day :)

Adding butter sounds like a great idea. It's always a great idea

Hah, yeah we did have to tell Theo and Miles that pasties were actually designed by NASA for use on the ISS and not by Cornish miners wives...
