Priceless Paintings from W7

This week, I’ve been mostly eating quite nicely, actually:

An Express Paella. Paella is one of my all-time top-ten favourite dishes. The express version is based on Churizo and deep-frozen mixed seafood; no lamb, chicken or pork, no fresh fish, mussels or shellfish. As such, it can be thrown together in a matter of minutes, all you need then is an hour of cooking time.

Roasted lamb chops with aubergines, topped with spiced and crumbled feta cheese and pine nuts. Served with roasted potato wedges, and a pudim flan afterwards. A nice blend of Moussaka with something else. Well, nice, that’s what matters. (See picture.)

A belated Chinese New Year Dinner at our friend L.-S.’s house, featuring Won-ton soup (all components made by hand and from scratch, of course), steamed dumplings, steamed chicken and mushrooms, sea bass, rice – oh, and the beautiful and delicious Jasmine Tea. I had only known Jasmine Tea as the Jasmine-infused Green tea variety. We admired and enjoyed tea brewed from real (dried) Jasmine flowers. Very beautiful and very delicious. I’d love to have some more of this.

Super-lazy Chicken with all the trimmings, as part of our lazy French Sunday (on account of our French friend C’s birthday). Spiced up with watching The Dish, but that’s a different story…
