Very up and down weekend

 So the plan for the weekend just gone was to go into town, stay in a reasonable hotel, cheaper than taxi in and out, eat again in the fantastic Richmond  in Portobello and breakfast on Sunday in Alma.  However back in strict lockdown, restaurants only open if outdoors, so that's gone and next month's trip up to Belfast looks gone as well, as the whole UK is back in chaos.

For the recipe below I did want Aleppo chilli (pul bibir) and was hoping to find some in town, as neither Indian shop in Swords has it.

So I had to cook, saw a decent looking recipe cooked by Sabrina Ghayour on the BBC for Tepsi Kebab, simple kind of lamb meatloaf.  I'm going to look at her books, maybe Feast



Did it with za'atar roasted cauliflower, tabbula, mint yoghurt, hummus, broad bean, feta carrot and red onion salad with flatbreads.  Very happy with it.

Had the rest in shop bought flat breads with some salad last night, bread was shite, way too thin, fell apart (Dunnes, as bad a Lidl)
