Meat & three+ veg


I guess we can't always be inspired. Pork chops with kipfler potatoes, mushrooms with pesto, baby carrots, cheeesy broccoli and peas. I did learn today, thanks to my new French cook book that you need to score the fat on your pork chops so they don't curl up.
Oh, der! Can't believe I have never thought of that before.
We are going away with extended family over the weekend, so let's see how well my seasonal foods works. I suspect there will be a distinct lack of interest from my partner's family.
I'm making a lemon tart (to have with cream) and chocolate mousse (does chocolate ever go out of season?). All from the new cookbook. Let's see how they go.
I am reading Coetze's first book, the Alchemist. It's interesting. A fable about living your dream.
Damned hard to do, surprisingly.
