Food anyone?

When I first met my wife - before we were married - she used to drink twenty - yes, 20 - cups of coffee a day. But she switched to decaf - but I can't stand decaf. I even have my own coffee roaster at home and buy fresh green coffee beans and roast them myself. It's a great thing to do. You can get an automatic coffee roaster quite cheaply and it's great fun.....

Never thought of that before? Let me know where to get it, please!

Thank god for that

Anyways i went to the noodle shop near brick lane and the post code is e2 6ab for google map, so if you are in the east end then help yourself. When i went there is just opened and was quiet empty, but trade did pick up by the time i finished. For you archangel, the menu no 18 is the flower. I had the ho fun(thicker noodle like tagliatti) mix meat and it tasted devine. Also passed by the bagel shop i mentioned earlier but this time did not go inside

I only have 2 or 3 glasses of wine, I make them last! I'm not a big drinker, never have been. I'm always being told to drink more water but it's just not natural for me! Besides, it goes straight through nowadays( too much info sorry)

What delicacy are you having tonight

Well it's my turn. my partner is from the phillipines and is an awesome cook.
The following is one of my favorite recipes.

Pork and Chicken Adobo

The recipe for adobo.
Yes in metric just convert for American measure.

Adobo is Filipino’s all-time favorite dish. A classic one inherited from our great colonizers the Spaniards but definitely filipinized to adopt to our palate. Adobo is so versatile we can almost do it with different kinds of meat, fish or even vegetables. Try this beautiful blending of chicken and pork simmered to perfection! Take note that they taste even better the next day!

Ingredients:

half a kilo of chicken cut into serving pieces ( Can be chicken wings or thighs)

half a kilo of pork cut in cubes (about 3- 4 inches) ( Pork Belly is perfect for this)

one clove of garlic, minced

1 tsp of grated ginger

1 tsp of peppercorn whole is fine

1 tsp of sugar

1/4 soy sauce

1/4 cup of vinegar

Procedure:

The secret to any adobo is the marinating sauce. And the key to its success is slow cooking. In a salad bowl mix half of the pounded garlic, with sugar, peppercorn, vinegar and soy sauce; mix well. Put the cut chicken and the pork into this mixture and cover it. Let it marinate for about 24 hours. The next day put the marinated chicken and pork along with the sauce plus half a glass of water in a casserole and cover it. Let it simmer slowly over medium heat until the juice of the meat has come out and the sauce has reduced.

Best served with thai rice.

Note one can cook straight away however just cook the adobo slowly. Some times we do not have time to marinate over night. It is still an amazing inexpensive dish even if cooked straight away.

that looks lovely, I'm hungry again now
