FOOD! GLORIOUS FOOD!

I'll preface this post with 3 things:

1. Whenever I talk to my grandmother, she is deeply concerned that I am not eating enough.

2. My mother and sister sent me a handmade recipe book full of old favorites that I can cook from, except can often be hard when the british call things different names. Do you know what "mange trut" is? Its a bean people... A GREEN BEAN! And apart from the fact it is more expensive, what is the difference between 'Sour Cream' and 'Creme Friache'?

3. I have come a long way from just doing the tomatos, I've become a bit of a master chef and wanted to prove it to you all. Here are some recent dishes....

COTTAGE PIE
I was so proud of this one.



THAI BEEF SALAD
Fresh ingredients from Borough Markets, whipped up in a jiffy for Em and Hilary. The beef was at a bargin british price of £20 ($50) to feed the 4 of us.


LAMB CURRY
London is a land of currys galore, so i decided to embrace the idea one sunday. Agreed with us on the night, was delicious! Did not agree with Chris the next day.



SOMETHING WITH PORK
Can't really remember what this was, but it would be a fair bet it was pork, considering it is the only meat you do not have to take a mortgage out on to buy it.



BANGERS & MASH
Love it. I want to marry it and make it an honest woman. Bangers George.




WASHED DOWN WITH
They usually tell you to have a nice red or white wine with dinner, but why? When you can have a litre and a half of Sainsbury's Gin? (lasted 2 weeks, we'll miss you old girl).


MISSING, BUT WORTH A MENTION
Like those kids that were under 'absent' on the school photos, i feel i should also mention these worthy, yet un-photographed meals....

Lamb, Rack of
Tomatos, Slow-roast Balsamic
