tonight's meal

Sea bream fillets on celeriac puree, served with roasted cherry tomatoes

Schlossberger

Schlossberger

De naam van deze kaas is ontstaan omdat naast de kazerij een bergruïne
(Schlossberg) staat. Het recept van deze kaas is al vier generaties oud. De
smaak is licht boterig met een aangename lichte hazelnootsmaak.

Pancakes

I very rarely measure out the ingredients for pancakes.

I have started to fold them in half then half again rather than cut them into pieces from flat. This makes them hand-holdable but there is the added risk of spilling the filling, in my case, often apricot jam.

Which I first experienced in a crepe in Paris.

Tonight I will cook pasta. With ostrich?

Omar's coming.

Burek

Börek / Burek is fantastic with a yoghurt drink. I buy burek from the Turkish shop near the Big AH. One with cheese, one with minced lamb and this wonderful salty yoghurt drink.

Best breakfast of the week

scallops

on potato pancakes with black pudding and a spring onion and tomato salsa, seasoned with plenty of lemon juice and salt

scallops make my taste buds gallop along the sand, erect, with the sweet spray in my face
black pudding anchors me to the source of all pretension, the giant turtle
and the lionised pummel.
oh my fry

ostrich!!!

I have made a recipe for ostrich steak.

tagliatelle (I added chopped up rocket and fried cherry tomatoes for sweetness -I suppose parsley would work in place of rocket)

laid half on top of mustard bechemel

a half piece of chicory (slowly braised) on the side

ostrich, fried and sliced in strips arranged in a fan over the pasta and just peeping
into the sauce

really delicious

too many bitter elements?

perhaps substitute fennel for chicory
