Cooking some white wine, mushroom and cream pasta. Dried the mushrooms first so they will have a stronger flavour.
Also have another pan full of tomatoes from the garden, roasted them with garlic to make a pasta sauce for later in the week.

Bacon.
Rubbish picture but I had a big bowl of langoustine, tiger prawns and baby octopus grilled with a chilli/garlic/parsley/prawn head butter sauce. Grilled bread and lemon wedges on the side.
Morrisons were doing all their wild caught fish/shellfish for half price.
Yesterday I was trying some new dishes for work, so had a little of these.
Slow cooked pressed honey mustard glazed pork shoulder with a spiced apple brandy puree, beet pickled apple and garnished with fresh green apple.
And a vegetarian falafel scotch egg with tzatziki, pomegranite and spicy pickled red onion.

The scotch egg sounds really interesting. I would definitely try that if I saw that on a menu.

Which restaurant is that? I'm just down the road in Newhaven.

The best Victoria Sponge I've ever made.

Thanks Sidewinder. I gave a few slices to the neighbour as getting through the whole cake myself is tempting but not good for the figure. But yes it tastes awesome and I resisted eating some for breakfast.

Just seen you are in Finchley...i am technically a neighbour.

Ah I see you're in Kentish Town. I used to go to a drum shop there called Pro-Perc fairly regularly before it closed down.

Olive Grove in Brighton I believe, or was when I asked last year sometime
It looks quite nice, I'll have to have a meal there at some point soon. It will make a change from La Choza and VIP

Possibly the best photographed one I've ever seen too.
Thank you. Always nice to get food photography compliments. Not quite in Raymond Lin's league yet but yes I'm quite pleased with them.

Ah VIP is great, Pollo is the best I've had there. There's a new Purezza (vegan) that's opened a 2min walk from me which I need to try, it's Vegan but looks amazing. B&H we are spoilt for choice with nice places to eat, but will definitely give the place @Raikiri works at a visit when I can find a suitable date to take

I'd be up for that, the last one I went to was with yourself and another guy around 14 years ago, but I cannot remember his name!
