Manx Kippers

At first sight, it looks less meaty, and smokier, ie looking darker, than others we had recently.

The flesh was very juicy, aka oily, the smoke flavour is good, so the colour was distinctive. Coincidently, Scotland outdoor was just talking to the Manx smoker, whick verified my points! Aren't I a kipper connoisseur!

Whole Crab

After trying some crab claws and swore off taking crab apart. I saw a big boy crab, and I went for it.

I threw out a lot of the "brown meat". The "chest" was suprisingly high yield.

I am still not sure I would do it again.

Microwave White Sauce

What is better than an all in one white sauce?   Microwave white sauce!  I saw this recipe on Good Housekeeping,  we were skeptical at first.   It turned out perfect!!  No more mess,  yay! 

Free Range Organic Chicken

We took opportunity of the offer and got a free range organic chicken.  Organic usually results in slower growing,  I assume.  The legs seemed bigger than normal,  the tendons seemed thicker than normal!   It tasted nice,  but nothing to write home about.   I am happy to have done a little bit for the planet. 

Eat with Me

We watches Eat with me as part of our CPD.  That is all too familiar,  but this is especiallu educational to people of other cultures. 

No.1 Chocolate & Hazelnut Italian Gelato

With that flavour description, you may think of a chocolate spread, but it is nothing like it.  Delicious!

Birthday Takeaway

In place of birthday dinners, we are replacing it with birthday takeaways.  I just need to decide what I want, and what I can have, this year.
