I so second this!!!  This is one place I really, really want to visit.   Any paradors on the horizon?   Or a visit to the ice cream shops?

Nothing is better than frying in lard.

Nothing.  Do not quote me on this.

A lovely roast @chefmd helped me to pick out.  By the way, the butcher was right, there were bones in it.

As far as I can recall this was my first ever roast with crackling.

Prepared in the CSO by the instruction manual.

Accompanied by applesauce and freshly pounded mace.  Kilogram of bread and liter of MR.  Eventually I had to pause for ice cream, whipped cream, and preserved walnuts.

Thanks, my first idea was rosemary, but it looked too green.  Spring rosemary. I've grown rosemary in the past, but never thought to use it at that stage.

 

Believe it or not, I know a woman called Rosemary Winter! I don't think they are related.  :D

Last night, a quick stir fry to use up all the bits of vegetables, leftover rice, and chicken I found in my fridge

Tonight,  I made that ancient British dish dating back to prehistory and loved by the Picts and Gaels in their dozens.

 

Spag Bol

 

spag1.thumb.jpg.38c2a0a601d12f80ec245c54fa34639e.jpg

 

Beef, tomato, garlic, onion, extra virgin olive oil from the olive plantations of Auchtermuchty harvested by Siobhan , the only virgin in Auchermuchty, and don't forget the secret, final ingredient introduced to the UK before it was U or K by none other than Sean Connery's great, great, great ad nauseum grandfather, Williiam McConnery Esq., known to all as Silly Willy.  I refer, of course, to Star Anise or as they are otherwise known, haggis droppings. In the Scots Gaelic this is called umami.

 

Spag(hetti) , as everyone knows, was invented by the younger brother of the famous Marco, Mr. Dave Polo an itinerant Italian ice-cream vendor in Edinburgh. Hetti was his wife. The origins of "spag" are lost in the mists of Glencoe. Dave also invented a game in which upper class twits ride around on horses missing balls. The players miss the balls. The horses are reproductively intact. Unfortunately, so are a few of the players.

 

Served with a sprinkling of Gran Biraghi, a cheese-like substance named after the grandmother of the notorious highland chieftain Biraghi, which in the Pictish language means, "I'd prefer a hamburger".

 

To the right of my plate you may see a Microplane, an ancient Scottish weapon designed to inflict near maximum pain on the enemy - mainly the English.  For maximun pain we played bagpipe music.

Last night was Slow Cooker Cranberry Pork Roast, red cabbage and green beans.  The flavor and ease of the pork was great. It was also VERY tender. But it was a little dry, as slow cooker meats sometimes are. I’m thinking that it is because of the low-fat nature of a pork loin. The sauce helped the dryness, though.  Corn muffins would have been nice with this.

Oh yes, I recognize that roast.  It looks good before but absolute gorgeous after the cooking!  And that crackling skin...

Dinner last night was a package of Yakisoba frozen noodle/veggie mix (Costco), thawed.  Added mushrooms, green beans, cabbage and chicken with a little extra soy and hoisin sauce and stir-fried in my new Helen Chen wok which I am really liking a lot.

New York strip steak, cooked SV then seared, with green beans cooked ALV in butter.  Served with salad and several glasses of a nice Lodi Zin.  Homemade peanut butter/caramel ice cream for dessert (dairy free of course).

We had lamb dumplings; eggplant from M. Clarke's Dinner Book; leftover duck with mandarin pancake.  Not a lot of veggies......tomorrow.  We pigged out on Korean Food for lunch so all and all a stellar day!:smile:
