Priceless Paintings from W7

This week, I’ve been mostly eating my very own version of bachelor food. The wife was out most days, so I kept up good cooking for myself:

Fresh tomato soup, lamb loin chops and crispy potato wedges (from Jersey Royals, which always remind me on Pam Ayres, but I cannot repeat her joke in the written word. By the way, her website announces a third series of Ayres on the Air on BBC Radio 4 in 2009, something to watch out for – no schedule is released as yet).

Hickory smoked Shek Kebab with roasted courgettes and onions (trying to beat the neighbour with my smoking Webber BBQ, but she’s the queen of grilled sardines and thus cannot be beaten).

Rosemary rump steaks with crispy and hot potato wedges (jersey royals again) with stir-fried fresh artichokes with fennel and courgettes, followed by a shockingly flavourless fresh strawberry ice cream. I had over 500g of strawberries in there, enough sugar and some vanilla, but the aroma was unnoticeably faint. I blame the strawberries.

Wraps with slow-cooked crispy shredded shoulder of lamb (minted) and pork (honey’ed and ginger’ed), with fresh garden vegetables and salads at M&L’s house. A very nice reminder on all those slow-cooking options with my new gear…
