Food

Yes.

Check out the buffet we had yesterday.. we ate most, but not all.

lemon sole goujons, pigs in blankets, devils on horseback, the last of the homemade gravalax with rye bread, sweet potato wedges, olives, artichokes and prawn crackers.

I will be riding my bike a lot this week...a LOT.

nnnnnnnngngghhhhhhhh...That's just too perfect.
I made Red Sea Brim goujons on Wednesday!!!.. so delish it shouldn't be allowed.

neck of lamb and shoulder of pork on the BBQ, tender doesn't even begin to cover it

did the whole, lamb steaks marinaded in loads of garlic, lemon and rosemary paste thing again last night. so, so good. it's definitley my favourite meal at the moment, with buttered jersey royals and greens. *droooooool.

got leftovers for tea tonight. was thinking some sort of moroccan cous cous type deal. what that might entail you think? safron, cinnamon, almonds, smoked paprika, sultanas? dunno. might be nice with rice instead. anyone got a good recipe for leftover lamb in that general area?

I'm cooking up some gigantes plaka at the moment. Had them twice recently out and about, and they are NOM.

Will let you know how they turn out.

double post oops

That dinner sounds delicious - how did you cook them? I've gotten so into a spot of rosemary at the moment - although bloody rosemary beetles are killing my plants!!

As far as your dinner goes - your idea sounds good! get some dried apricots in there too and some pickled lemon if you have any?

I'd be tempted to do something persian with it - Rice with Zereshk, make a sauce with Pomegranite, pistachio, dates, cumin, saffron, cinnamon, ground coriander, garlic, onions, some chilli - and a bit of stock? finish with pomegranite seeds, pistachios...

oh my... right i'm doing it. update tomorrow.

got to be grill pan for those tasty charred lines on tyhe lamb. my only tip for doing this is if you're mashing up the paste in a pestle and mortar, start with the rosemary and some rock salt, then add the garlic and wet ingredients. if you do the garlic first it acts like a lubricant and the tougher rosemary won't mash up as smoothly.

You needn't bother bashing up the rosemary at all; it's very robust and time-consuming. If I use it I just whack a great sprig of it into whatever marinade and allow it to permeate that way, it's pungent enough. Maybe bruise it with a knife a little too.

10 portions of burnt ends yeah?

I went to a party at the Bodean's head chef's (andy) house the other day. Had 400+ chicken wings, 10 jacobs ladders and the most nachos i've ever seen in one place. Was amazing.

jesus. i'm not sure how you guys do this. i literally didn't eat a single fucking meal at home last week... that includes breakfasts.

How come? I hate those weeks when you're just busy constantly!!!

clefty, you've inspired me to a tea party of my own. excuse to break out the fine china and all that.

On my way home I bought a dry aged rib eye steak for supper (from wholefoods HSK), a treat to have as I had just done a yoga class.

I hate cooking a chilled steak, really should be at room temperature to get the most flavour if cooked black and blue. Thank fuck for pockets on the back of my jersey, steak goes in to pocket, back pack loaded with spinach and gorgonzola dolce in the bag.

Race home, keeping up the heat I had worked up during the yoga class. Steak is no longer chilled.

Cast iron frying pan is now on the hob heating up and the spinach is rinsed in the pan and steak has been liberally seasoned with flaky salt and coarse ground black pepper.

Next up v quick shower, then spinach on to wilt it down, steak for just over a minute on either side on a smoking hot frying pan.

Leave steak to stand for a couple of minutes while the spinach finishes, squeeze out the fluid, butter, salt, pepper and quick shavings of nutmeg added to the spinach. Steak goes on top, with a generous smearing of gorgonzola.

Fuck yeah!

Salivating as I type.

mmmmm, sausages going out of date tomorrow, ok i'll eat them alll

nom, nom, nom, nom.

not as good as that ^ but mixed with a rocket salad with balsamic, olive oil and english mustard dressing was reet yummy!

just as well i ran 13 miles home eh?!

How come? I hate those weeks when you're just busy constantly!!!

yep. that and i literally cannot cook. maybe i have a hard time following instructions.

Ah! It's all coming clear now. Years ago I picked up something from your house and you said you were cooking dinner for a friend and had the right face of panic on. I assumed that you were just scared of me being in your house, what with all the tattoos and whatnot.

Last night I wrote a venomous tirade of invective against this place, their newly-opened Portobello gaff that is, which was lost in a post-disappointment/mild-intoxication driven keyboard error. It was quite something.

Simple version is – avoid at all costs.

jesus, what a temple of cuntdom that shithole is.

and anyone that uses the word 'space' instead of 'room' needs to be stabbed in the throat.

I cannot tell you how dire it was, from start to finish. We were there to ‘celebrate’ too. They took the price of a pizza off to be fair, although it all should have been gratis. Didn’t realise it’s a part of the Soho House Group until just now, I rate Café Boheme but this place fails totally. For those accustomed to being fleeced only.
