Chef, who used to do something else but found out he was better at this
Cooked some Japanese food tonight. Pork belly, slow cooked, lightly brushed with soy & togarashi. I trimmed the ends & cut them into pieces, fried them off & used the rendered fat to cook the egg for my fried rice.

Driving on a back road from Courtmacsherry to Timoleague, you can look out your car window and see a view like this.
If it were a painting you'd probably think it was almost too pretty.

In West Cork, on a road that goes nowhere, is a monument to a man who voyaged to the end of the earth.
It proves that where you're from places no restrictions on where you can go.

Some photos from a deserted Fountainstown beach this morning.
I had the whole place to myself to have a little walk and find a spot to sit for a while.

A take on the famous Rigatoni Al Segreto from Ginos in NYC, by adding homemade Italian fennel, onion & black pepper sausage.
I'm generally against messing around with classic recipes but this really does work. The finely minced sausage complements the sauce.

Some pics from my walk in Fitzgerald's Park on Sunday morning. It's so wonderful to have a beautiful place like this in the heart of the city.
It feels like you're in the middle of the countryside, not the middle of the 2nd biggest city in Ireland.

It's wonderful to see so many people enjoying the harbour but I do miss the days I had these places virtually to myself.
