Baked a give away loaf of sourdough bread today. Started it yesterday and did an overnight ferment. It does smell sour.

Forgot to add the last salad, green papaya. The kids complained that I spent all afternoon cooking and all they got was pasta.

Well, I did it again. Another Kickstarter knife set. Different guy, but the same idea - Japanese style knives made in Germany. He's only making paring knives, which is why I went for it, seeing as I have a bazillion Chef's knives already! They finally arrived yesterday. Sorry for the dirty cutting board. I didn't realize it was schmutzed until after I took the picture. Nice feel to them and they were pretty sharp right out of the box - paper test. I did give them a quick stroke on the steel and good to go! I didn't have the heart to dirty them yet, but soon!

Here they are. Oh, that’s half a pigs head. I couldn’t help myself when I saw them at the butcher. And the pork wins..... the cheek of every animal is the sweetest and most tender meat Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yay! Amping up the sour flavour is nice sometimes. I hope your friend appreciates the restraint that you have shown. I would have had to have a slice.

Have moved recipe trials to the orient. First go at Chicken Satay and Chicken Teriyaki (next time I’ll do more than two skewers!). Served with Satay sauce, Teriyaki sauce, Nasi Goreng and Coriander salad. Used good ol’ Pestle and Mortar instead of liquidiser. Took a long time...

Wow! Phenomenal blistering.

I'd go direct.

My "non Super Bowl" dinner (I watched the Puppy Bowl instead - Go Team Fluff!! - ha, ha!) - nice Bavette steaks from Porter Road, 2x baked spud, sautéed mushrooms, steamed broccoli, olive bread and some chimichurri sauce.

Superbowl tri tip cook. Smoked to IT 105 over a piece of peach wood, reverse sear on the 23. The veggies were cooked on the 16 TT, portabella caps with onion and tomatoes, bacon wrapped asparagus brushed with a nice balsamic vinegar, and a roasted jalapeno
