That looks immense!
Nothing too exciting last night, had to use up the rest of the garlic potato gratin so had it with chili minute steaks and grilled paprika peppers.

Had my dad's birthday dinner last night. We had a starter of bruschetta, which was really fabulous. For mains, I went with roast chicken stuffed with lemon and garlic, potatoes roasted in goose fat, roasted carrots and parsnips, Yorkshire puddings and gravy. For dessert, we had Victoria sponge stuffed with fresh cream and raspberry jam. It was very successful! No pictures because my parents wouldn't understand wtf I was doing

Flash fried Co. Cork rose veal escalopes with an onion and thyme jus, mash, grilled garlic tomatoes and peas. I've never eaten much veal before and was keen to try some ethically produced Irish veal but I was left a bit unimpressed.
I thought it was just not as nice as beef and way more expensive - no great flavour or texture. Wouldn't buy it again. I also put too much thyme in the jus.

Carbonara, from a recipe on the Italian Foodies blog that I don't think I'm following exactly anymore (had to try VERY hard not to type "eggsactly" there). Basically 2 egg yolks beaten with loads of black pepper, fried lardons, lots of parmesan & a little of the pasta water to add sauciness. I am replete & happy but may now go consume an entire Milka Tuc in order to give myself gout for Christmas

Since I am never arsed making it for breakfast I made eggs benedict (using spinach ham - bacon overpowers everything else too much wrapped inside pancakes.
Pancakes actually work out easier I find, since you can make them first, put the ham and spinach inside, fold then fold again, and pop in the oven at about 120 while making the eggs and sauce.
The egg whites were fully cooked - just clearing up since it looks a bit 'goopy' here with the sauce
. There is no such thing as too much hollandaise sauce!
Also figured out an easier way to do poached eggs than swirling the water (which often leaves the yolk completely exposed and only allows one to be made at a time) - just crack the eggs one at a time into a large ladel and VERY slowly dip that into the pot of boiling water (still with some vinegar) and very gently tilt the ladel after 15-20 seconds so they slip out. With a big enough pot you could do even up to 20 of them at a go this way.0 -
