      Tomorrow, Paula and I are going on a longish walk, but I also want to cook Chilli Con Carne, so I started tonight.

      Lots of fatty beefy offcuts, 1lb of pork belly and 1lb of fatty lamb chops chopped up small and cooked over a low flame for about 2 hours.  The result is a magical oil base which I will fry onions etc in tomorrow, plus a load of the tastiest little meat morsels to add to the 3lb of beef waiting in the fridge.  Yep, I'm not a purist…

        Salivating.  I haven’t used lamb before, but I will now.  How do you not weigh twice as much as you do?

            I found the lamb thing by accident.  I always reduce pork belly to oil and then use that to fry my onions etc when making a chilii.  A while ago, I bought fatty lamb chops by accident, did not notice until too late.  The extra layer of taste to the finished con carne was amazing….

              Looks great Rueben and @Giles. I always finish my chili with a small splash of Apple Cider vinegar. It really pops the spices and pairs well with the fatty meat.

              Great start

                    Super easy and very popular. The sweetness of baked tomatoes, combined with the acidity of the feta work very well.

                            Yeah @Alex 😎 😎 😎 that's some pretty decent Ramen

                            a little extra I am doing, is marinating the eggs in shoyu/sake/mirin/garlic/ginger

                                Great looking ramen Alex. I have a smoked pork broth in the freezer I haven’t decided what to do with yet. I have now decided. Do you make your noodles, and if not, what brand do you buy?

                                Breakfast this morning was deviled egg toast on homemade sourdough, with pickled onions, cilantro, and oven roasted tomatoes.

                                Served with a giant pile of uncured peppered bacon.

                                          How was it.  Halibut is a bastard not to overcook?

                                            Really really good. Halibut I fried for a 3mins total and rested in a warm oven for 2 mins while I wilted the wild garlic leaves
