The only change we made was to omit the "served with orzo" because we had an aubergine that needed to be used, so I grilled slices of aubergine on the BBQ and then spooned the meatballs over them. Delicious!

That looks great! They spelled ouzo wrong.

A pork pie :o But I had a slice of carrot cake afterward, so I got my veggies.

The secret about chocolate and alcohol is, don't eat too much chocolate or you will become fat. And nobody likes middle-aged fat people. They smell like Fiery Fred Trueman or damp slippers that Terry from Terry and June would have worn.

Caretaker might be interested in this... last night I saw an episode of "John Torode's Korean Food Tour" which brought back some very happy memories and got me slavering. On investigation, it's actually a 10-episode series from 2017 where he tries popular Korean dishes and then shows you how to recreate them. I'll definitely being trying some of them whenever I can get the necessary ingredients.

My youtube search for John Torode Korea brought on 50 results so I assume the first 10 will be that series. I'll check it out, thanks!

Two chicken tacos with salsa fresca, and now a beer. I calculated the proportions of ingredients perfectly; just so the juice ran over the back of my hand.

For the second time in just over a week, I had a steak. Med-rare with mushrooms, gravy, chips and peas. Same thing happened as the first time. When I'd eaten I sat in front of the empty plate in a stupor for half an hour before getting up to clear the table. If I was the enemy, that is when I would choose to attack. Only meal of the day but it really hit bottom.

If you were the enemy, presumably you'd be staking the place out before attacking. :getcoat:
