Very much looking forwand to the Lucky 7 collab tonight with Minus Mob.

Great night at Caneat (Stirchley) last night at a talk by ex @loaf.coop founder Tom discussing his career path, using 6 loaves that were integral to his journey. All the way to two loaves w/Welsh influence now that he has started rye and roses in Machynlleth.
And also some butter making too.❤️

Todays lunch. I’ve gone for the classic Buldak noodle. A shop near work is doing 4 for £5.
So this one is the hot chicken, with the cheese powder topping (yellow pack).
Made with my usual addition of spring onion, celery, carrot, mushroom, and baby sweetcorn…but with some cashews as a treat. 🤩

Managed to bag a cancellation spot at Rabbit last night. (Hugely difficult)
Superb prix fixe menu on a Monday, at £30 a head. Plus snacks and drinks.
Neighbourhood, intimate, kitchen counter dining at its finest.
It doesn’t get much better than this for local dining.❤️

Just been to the German Cafe, Shirley. It was fab.
Had the Siegerlaender Kruestchen.
Basically a pork schnitzel on German bread, with mushroom sauce, a fried egg, fried potatoes, a salad and potato salad. 👌🏼

I should be on a leash. Working from home, with a full kitchen. Here we have a hot chocolate dripping in chilli and ginger. Warming, chocolatey and perfect for the cold weather. I may even turn the heating off.

Working from home lunch.
And I’m taking respite from my own cooking,
Up the hill to Cotteridge to the wonderfully well priced but decent bistro1837
the spicy chicken burritos are great.
All to sounds of The Godfather theme but in romantic restaurant guitar. 😜

Last night I popped to see Carl Woods (local doc film director) and his premier of Made by Brum’s ‘Jerkman’. A short film about Adrian, of West Midlands Jerk Centre.
Hosted in Artum, at Hockley Social Club. Attended by lots of the Handsworth community. A great evening.❤️

Some choice pics from my walk into town today. And food. And drink.
Aphna Bakes for a coffee before we left St. Irchley. A pint in (I think) Highgate on the walk, a coffee at Ocha in Chinatown, and superb Beef Rendang at Cafe1 Malaysia by the Old Rep. (superb)
