Cooking weekend

Made really lovely beef and chorizo burgers, sweet paprika potato wedges and coleslaw. 
Blitzed soft chorizo , mixed with beef mince made 3 patties and rested.  Boiled wedges then put in oven with paprika, salt and pepper in garlic olive oil.  Split sliced cabbage and carrot on mandolin, added mayo for coleslaw.

On griddle, cooked one patty for San and put lime and chilli relish and mature cheddar between two patties for me.

Served in (shop bought) mini wholemeal pittas with sliced tomato and rocket from garden.

Best burgers I've made in ages and I thought the kitchen smelt like a bar in the States, so v happy.

Got up this morning, made a potato and leak soup for breakfast and tomorrow's lunch at work, a carrot cake, and cleaned house.

Made a chilli to go in freezer and just cooking roast chicken for tonight.  All smells good, just eating the bacon off the breast now :)

Another gap, Dusseldorf etc

Added nothing lately, went to Dusseldorf for long weekend, usual places and a few new new ones, nothing really to add, enjoyed as always, ate pig, drank Altbeer, really enjoyed it.

Nothing new planned for a few weeks, couple of meals out, might report on.

Gym (Flyfit.ie) going great 4 or 5 times a  week, mostly Baggot St, Swords occasionally at weekends.  Only issue is I am not only not losing weight, am putting it on.  About half a stone since back from Mozambique, but do seem to have lost a bit of belly, so not too down.

No big plans for weekend, got some runner beans to harvest and need to think up some structured lunch plans.  Cous cous and rice as often as possible, not bored yet.
