can't be arsed.

jacqui, maybe you just need to pimp the cheese on toast? I use black forest ham and onion for that, and a bit of herbs ... really good when you have nice sourdough and rub that with a bit of garlic prior to assembly, some salad leaves and vinaigrette ... voila!

First attempt at pickling cucumbers to make gherkins. Went for a simple approach to test the water. Vinegar, salt, garlic and dill. 1 jar whole, 1 jar quartered/spears and 1 jar sliced. Also did some leftover broccoli. Reports to follow in a few days.

This is what was on the BBQ yesterday... well good!

I look forward to seeing the report. Looks great, nice photo.

Divertimenti on Marylebone High St

I went looking for Pages in May and they are now Nisbets, the mail order cook shop. They're pretty good and gave helpful service. Same address as the Pages shop.

You've just received some reputation for that shit.^That's how easy I am today.

Tomorrow's a whole new talk.

So... Went for the bacon wrapped eggs. They tasted great, but really nothing different to a bacon omelette. I can see the purpose of them from a visual perspective however, and they would impress someone for breakfast.

Be sure not to overdo the bacon initially, don't season with salt (the bacon already has plenty) and go heavy with the herbs (they lose their intensity when cooked). Sprinkle some fresh herbs on after, drizzle with olive oil (and even a vinegar) and serve with bread and a green salad.

I think it would be a better dish with Parma ham or prosciutto.

I am so trying those ^ this weekend.

Four egg omelette for me last night with some peppers and spicy salami. I also made my first attempt at donuts which was a qualified success.

I made a nice porcini mushroom risotto last night, but then fried up a whole packet of pancetta, dried the fat off, let it cool, then crumbled it all over the top with some minced flat leaf parsley and lemon juice.

Nom!

Strangely, that is exactly what I had last night, but with a bit of chorizo in there too.
