Two recent dinners. Wings in the Speedi with broccoli. Having missed out on eating a sausage roll on my recent visit to London, I ordered some frozen sausage rolls and assorted bangers and chipolatas from Jolly Posh Foods. Made the sausage rolls. They were just OK, not bad but not great.

Grilled pork chop with steamed corn in butter, steamed broccoli.

No pictures. We were in London and Paris and I only took one picture the whole trip, and it was of a floor board pattern at Versailles. Primarily because I have pictures from the last trip and things look the same (and the weather was better on that trip).

Char siu soup with cabbage, carrots, onion, celery and ramen noodles.

We hit Borough Market right away and was looking forward to a sausage roll from the Ginger Pig, which gets rave reviews. After a fairly tortuous effort to find out if the regular roll had milk in it, I ordered one. Didn’t bite into it until quite a ways down the road and they accidentally gave me one with cheese. Ended up with decent fish and chips at the wife’s request. We had quite a few good meals there. Dinner the first night was Roast (also in Borough Market). It was part of our tour and I had the signature pork belly. Very good. Next night was at the Drawn and Quartered pub. Also good but I can’t remember what I had! Last night was at Ffionas. Excellent. Had duck breast. Never did get a sausage roll.

Wi-Fi bread?

Pizza with mushrooms, salami and baby arugula. Her half with cheddar, mine with moz.

We’ll be in London for few days on a tour, but lunches and dinners are up to us (except the first night). We’ll be near Tower Bridge. Where should we try to eat?

@Shelby Sorry you're going through this. I had one successful graft and implant, but my second on the opposite side refused to take the bone graft. After the third try I now just have an empty spot there. Pot roast with potato, onion, carrots, celery, peas and corn. Made in the IP.

Chicken noodle soup with carrots, onion, celery, broccoli, peas and corn.

Yes, the one @blue_dolphin linked to is the latest version. You'll find other by searching for cabbage borscht instead of soup.

Chicken fried rice with peas, carrots and broccoli.

Grilled pork chop with hand-cut fries done in the Speedi. A bit over-cooked but still good.

Grilled Italian sausage with reduced stewed tomatoes.

Teriyaki salmon with roasted potato wedges, both done in the Speedi.

A couple of recent dinners. Sirloin - I've gone back to SV with a sear - served with steamed broccoli. Wings in the Speedi again, served with potato wedges made alongside the wings (they came out great) and steamed broccoli.

Welcome back! Been a while!

Sirloin, cooked on the grill without sous vide. First time I have cooked a steak this way in many years. It came out fine. Might go back to it! Served with baked potato (35 minutes in the Speedi) and steamed broccoli.

A couple of recent dinners. Aidell's Hickory Smoked Beef Sausage with baked beans (Bourbon and brown sugar) and rye garlic toast. I haven't had these sausages before. They tasted like smoked hot dogs but with more texture and some kick from what I assume is black pepper. I likely wouldn't buy them again, but they were OK. Fried chicken from the local Winco. It's great (and cheap - 8 piece mixed for $8.48). With Blasphemy Coleslaw.

NOH is great. Use as a dry rub instead of a marinade, let sit over night. Baste the char siu with some honey for the last few minutes.

Grilled pork chop with latkes and corn.

Cold, windy and rainy here in NCal. So chicken noodle soup with chicken, noodles, carrots, celery, onion, corn and peas.

Grilled pork chop with baked potato (in the Speedi) with butter.

Wings in the speedi again. Extra minute after saucing because my wife likes them this way. With peas and carrots.

Top sirloin with Brussels sprouts.
