Steve's Roasted Potatoes

Friday night's repast was pork chops, oven roasted with 20 cloves of garlic (!). The pork chops were from the Farmer's Outlet (8, Lensfield Road, Cambridge, UK) a fantastic shop which carries locally sourced produce, baked good, meat and other goodies. We served them with potatoes roasted with olive oil, rosemary and sea salt. This turned out to be an easy and delicious Friday night dinner. As is our wont, we finished it off with a fresh salad made with lettuce from our organic vegetable box. Not a bad way to end a week!

Treat yourself well!

Sunday Dinner

It's been a good weekend, full of fun and food and, er, photography!

Yesterday we went to the Cambridge University Botanic Gardens so that I could try out my new camera on something other than food. The trip was a success and we both enjoyed our day out in the fresh air. After uploading a (very) small selection of my photographs to my Flickr site, I decided that the best way to keep track of the photos was to start a new blog. Sorting through 300 photos didn't leave any time for that this weekend. When I get the new site up and running I'll post a link here.

Today we did somewhat of a reprise on last weekend's Chinese style meal:
Steve bought, at my behest, a piece of belly pork from the Farm Market on his way home from work on Friday. It was the last one on the shelf and it turned out to be quite big so I decided to separate the belly from the rib portion and have the ribs tonight. I did them Chinese style (again!) and served them with a medley of stir-fried vegetables - mange tous (snow peas), bak choi and bean sprouts. The verdict from Steve was "delicious!" It wasn't bad, really...

Plenty of left-overs means that we're due a quick meal during the week - something that we both appreciate with our hectic schedules.

Enjoy cooking, eating, drinking and living!
