Re: Teatime Choices
The Saturday edition of The Guardian has an excellent "Feast" supplement which is full of great foodie things, including recipes. We usually try to have a go at at least one the recipes during the week. Last night my wife made this Greek Lamb Meatballs recipe and I have to say it was absolutely outstanding. Soooooo tasty!!
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!

A pork pie 
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.

Re: Teatime Choices
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.

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.

Re: Teatime Choices
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.
