The 65% Guatemalan was extraordinary. It was like the top of a creme brulee.

It's expensive because it is small batch, but so good you really can restrict yourself to a couple of squares and just savour it.

You are having an amber coloured feast.

It seems like a deadly vicious circle. You get screened if you have the gene, but no one knows if you have the gene until its too late.

Finally, a chip shop that cooks the chips to a proper colour. None of that peely wally nonsense.

Love a Mexican bean.
We are having red mullet cooked in a thyme and garlic dressing with mash and green beans. Fish and recipe from Rockfish online seafood market.
Bare Bones Chocolate for nibbling afterwards - it is the best Chocolate I've ever eaten.
There will be wine.

Hate Airdrie

That episode of Friends when Ross uses the tanning machine.

I think they are related to Farang restaurant somehow, but regardless they are very nice.

Leftover chicken turned into Thai green curry using one of the fabulous pastes from Payst.

The other contestants are terrible.
I doubt Aimee could point to her own nose, let alone find a city on a map.

It’s very MasterChef Australia- they are always making things like bacon fat caramel, miso caramel etc.

This is exactly why Mick Lynch was so strong. He didn’t tell lies so didn’t have to weasel out of previous answers. It’s that simple.

The Guardian gave it 0 stars. I’ve never seen that before.

We have my parents down for a few days, so I'm going for shepherd's pie with a leek/spring cabbage medley. Gravy. Wine for everybody but me as I am trying to be good.

Yes we did. Obviously the history and architecture are incredible and fascinating but we also enjoyed understanding more about Central Asia and their perspective. Would definitely recommend.

We are back from meat heavy Uzbekistan, so I made a cauliflower and sweetcorn curry (a Cyrus Todiwala recipe) with a lentil dhal and parathas.

They are delicious.
