Banetons

 



Finally bought a banneton from Kells, they had round rectangular ones out of stock for months and got square ones in this week, so got one of each size, first loaf, not bad.  Had some with lovely mermelade sent by Gabriel from Tapas de Cervantes.

Continuing on a Spanish theme, a bean and chorizo dish, with really disappoinlty rubbish hake, which I love, but won't buy from a supermarket again

Biryani, cauliflower curry and raita with roasted chicken

Off to Shouk tonight, looking forward to it, except driving, as it's an excellent BYOB, but Covid means no buses for us :(

Eating out again and sourdough

Went to Potiger in Skerries, trying and mostly succeeding at fine dining in North County Dublin.  Service was a little bit haphazard and although I liked it, a fair bit of offal, if you don't

Also went to Shouk in Drumcondra, absolutely lovely Middle  Eastern and it's BYOB (€8 corkage), will defo be back and recommended it to everyone, especially good for veggies, but meat dishes lovely.  Gorgeous coffee in a glass to finish and all reasonably priced.

I have started making sourdough to get me out of a funk, three loaves in, takes time and a bit hit and miss, still trying different recipes and feeding the starter every day.
