LIDL Rye Sourdough

Boiled Egg
Lunch: The tomatoes were very sweet, the Burrata creamy and delicious.  Perfect lunch in the garden
Burrata, Tomatoes & Piadina
Dinner:  Not under a brick this time as I made a paste marinade.  Grated zest of a lemon, grated garlic, rosemary, thyme, smoked paprika, salt and pepper, olive oil.  Mix well (best with a pestle and mortar and coat the flesh side, work some of the paste under the skin of the breast and then spread the rest on the skin.  In the bbq not directly over the coals and cook for about an hour.  Rest for 10 minutes.
Lemon, Garlic & Rosemary Chicken
Braised Fennel & Cheese
Slice the fennel, wrap in foil and add a little water and salt.  Wrap tightly and let it steam on the bbq for about 10 minutes.  Remove from the foil, brush with a little olive oil, sprinkle with grated cheddar and a little parmesan and cook over the coals until a nice brown.

333 Days after Lockdown - 20th February, 2021

Tartiflette Pizza - A thing of beauty This pizza was so good we had to add it to the blog - It has been quite a while since we posted.

Simple and easy - all the elements of Tartiflette the recipe is easy enough but you could do this easily even with shop-bought pizza dough Soften lardons / shallots / leek in a little olive oil Steam or boil a few new potatoes, cool and slice thinly Beat egg, creme fraiche or natural yoghurt or cream with a little grated garlic, sa...

131 Days After Lockdown : Sunday 3rd August, 2020

PUT YOUR POO IN THE POST  &  COP A FEEL What a lovely Sunday afternoon First visit from Damien & Karen since Karen's personal lockdown sometime ago.  And they bought their very cheeky little chappy with them 'Murphy' Before posting this I discussed whether I may add the post that Karen added to her Facebook and she kindly agreed, wanting to spread the message.  Many of our friends and family have gone through or indeed are still dealing with the disease.

During the operation the...
