Week 6 Summary
Week 6: 2 February – 8 February
Well, what a week. The UK officially broke down, though whilst the snow started off in the south it didn’t allow me to get away with a snow day. Sometimes being based in Birmingham has its downsides, I had to get in the car and drive to see some clients. Let’s just say that the return trip was a bit hairy, what with driving in a blizzard on non-gritted roads!
Back at home, due to not having any food around I was a bit of of sync with my usual routine. Nothing too amazing this week, though my friend did manage to make a good dinner on Saturday. He was happy with 7/10, unfortunately like many people he had an issue with a chocolate mousse not setting!
Monday: Appalling room service – Greasy Pizza with Salami
Tuesday: Onion Risotto, Squid & Belly Pork, Coffee & Petit Fours at Anthony’s
Wednesday: Chili Con Carne (salvaged from the depths of my Freezer). Also baked some tasty flourless chocolate brownies [I have a slight craving for chocolate on a weekly basis]
Thursday: Toad in the Hole, with yorkshire sausages and a few strips of beef.
Friday: Leftover toad
Saturday: [Dinner at a friends: @RedWineBoy]
Sunday: A misty haze, Beef Pie.

I’ve noticed that people who like food (and blog about it), tend to have a weekness for all things pork. Usually it succumbs to being about pork belly, or the other fine meat product that is chorizo (whether fresh or cured).
After having a quick wander round the freezer on the weekend I had pulled out some pizza dough that I had put aside. So, on a fine Monday evening whilst feeling a bit hungry I was torn – do I go for the glory of pizza, or instead the joys of lamb chops.
My solution was to go for both, so I heated up about 300g of cherry tomatoes (quarts), chopped up sundried tomato, as well as some puree. With a couple of anchovies added for good measure. This was left to bubble down, to a nice rich base sauce. Continue Reading
