We had an onion squash & cavolo nero left over so roasted the squash with sage & made a lasagne with a LOT of taleggio & mozzerella. And enough for tomorrow!

Thought I'd give the Pret sando a go. Now, I like chrispy onions as much as anyone but not when it takes up 50% of the sandwich, & the filling didn't go to the edges if the bread. C'mon lads, sharpen up!

We use tinned toms because we cannot get really good ones over here, & a jar of good chickpeas rather than cook them from scratch.

Gypsy stew from the much missed Keith Floyd. A fab combo of onion squash, chickpeas, green beans, cavolo nero & pears with home-made French bread. A real winter warmer.

As views from an airport lounge go this is not too untidy!

Going to miss this.

Negroni diaries pt.4. An absolute belter from Ozio using Fusetti instead of Campari & wonderful Contratto vermouth. A deffo 9.5/10!

Fimally got around to going into San Zacc after 8 visits to Venice. Restoration still ongoing, but worth a visit to the flooded crypt.

Priveleged to have been invited to the inaugural Venice Noir awards to see @ianrankin1.bsky.social win the magnificent glass dagger. Also great to meet up with @pgjonesvenice.bsky.social & @caroline-venezia.bsky.social overa Select spritz (or two!). Cannot wait for '26!

Even in the rain Venice traps you in its beauty.

This may not be everyones ideal view of Venice but to us it encapsulates everything we love about this bonkers place.

Negron Diaries pt 3. A very nice classic from Cafe Rosso. A solid 7.5/10.
November 15, 2025 at 6:07 PM
Macc. Diaries pt3. Nice one from Majer, good quality Milano beans so no harshness & a mere splash of hot milk before adding foam makes it the perfect pre-lunch coffee.

Negroni diaries pt.2. Not as substantial as Mondo di Vino & no bitters but a good classic from a bar whos name escapes me, but quite close to Bras.
