1st try: daurade (gold bream) w red pesto-potato mash, marinated baby tomatoes & rucola.
More than decent Alvarinho by Lapa.
Don’t ask about the weather! Won’t see the sun until next wk Saturday!

The WineSmacker You’re not wrong.

#NoCookingWednesday #WednesdayLunch #2ndServing #ChickenKiev #Mushrooms #Potatoes #Riesling
Dreary, rain, hail and only 10°C!
Minimal effort on this Wednesday!
Baking mushrooms & potatoes & serving that w a warmed up 2nd serving of chicken Kiev. Nice pairing w Alsatian Riesling.

#TuesdayLunch #WhiteCeleryHamRolls #PotatoMash #Riesling
Mum was a staunch supporter of the ‘portion de politesse’ system. When she served something you didn’t like, you had to eat a small portion of it. I now love white celery ham rolls in the oven! With potato mash & Riesling!

#MondayLunch #ChickenKiev #RoastPotatoes #TomatoSalad #Pousio #Branco
As long as the weather doesn’t improve I keep busy in the kitchen!
My 1st attempt at Chicken Kiev w oven roast potatoes & tomato salad & a glass of Pousio Branco house wine.
Be my judge!
Слава Україні! 💙💛

The WineSmacker No no no. I won't have time with all that wine to drink 🤣🤣🤣😆

#SundayLunch #Asparagus #Saltimbocca #BakedPotatoes #BarberaDAlba
Leftovers make up a great starter: asparagus w pesto.
Saltimbocca alla romana w baked potatoes becoming a staple Sunday lunch!
Formidable ‘18 Barbera d’Alba by @diego_e_damiano_barale.
My last one, I’m afraid!

Tout à fait!
Exactly!
Einverstanden!

#NoCookingSaturday #2ndServing #SaturdayLunch #Goulash #FrenchFries #Ramos #Reserva
Love a minimal effort in the kitchen on weekends!
Warmed up a 2nd serving of my award-winning goulash & baked some fresh french fries.
The ‘21 Ramos Reserva is a great match!
C’est très bon!

#RiceTart
My first ever try making rice tarts and I learned a few things.
Buy a little bigger & higher forms.
Put some egg yolk (watered) on the top.
Let there be no doubt: they are delicious. Perfectly balanced taste.
C’est très bon!

#FridayLunch #OvenBakedCodGambaVeggies #PommesDuchesse #Riesling

This is really delicious! Not a morsel left.

#ThursdayLunch #Salmon #Asparagus #BabyPotatoes #Alvarinho
While the weather is still rather fresh, bringing Spring on our plate!
Baked salmon, (Belgian) asperges à la Flamande, baby potatoes & an excellent Alvarinho by Lapa.
Going to the hairdresser later on.
Who wants a pic?

#WednesdayLunch #Goulash #WorldMalbecDay

A fantastic goulash, served w a dollop of cream & rigatoni!

#MondayLunch #ChickenTikkaMasala #Rice #Pousio
2nd attempt and a great result for this chicken tikka masala w rice!
Maybe just a little less curry next time. (We’re not very hot people, Htje and I!)
Good pairing w Pousio Branco!
This is good!

#SundayLunch #BoeufStroganoff #Salad #Croquettes
My 1st Boeuf Stroganoff!
Total success!
Htje repeatedly said it was good!
Wodka flambé doesn’t give flames!
Fantastic ‘19 Cuvée de l’Aïeul by Château Eugénie
Dark fruit, spicy, molten tannins, good acidity, strength, length!
89-91

#CraftBeer #Beer Lover #Beer #Beer ByPhilippe #HopHarvest
My friends will remember I cut the grass at level 5 on Monday.
Htje ‘suggested’ I went over it again because we expect rain. Level 4 set as of now!
Don’t say a 2023 Hop Harvest by Brouwerij De Ranke isn’t an appropriate reward!

#SaturdayLunch #Quiche #Broccoli #Bacon
Early start w retrieving roof tiles from the crawl space, rushed to the bakery & baked this formidable broccoli-bacon quiche!
Another superb ‘18 Trepat D.O. Conca de Barbera by Carles Andreu
