Well, very pleased with this. Roast pork belly with cloudberry sauce on stir fried kale, bacon and garlic on cheesy polenta. Polenta went lumpy on me sadly, first time that's happened to me. Best pork I've cooked though, I think

Basically as the post says. Extra detail: on a white porcelain plate and you can just about see that yes, the skin is perfect

Truth, also just cos here is this magnificent toad my brother in law found in the woodpile about ten days ago

Just the most classic, incredible toad surrounded by grass and bits of wood. Stout, proud, unbowed

Made Hunan-style (Lamb) Chili Cabbage stir fry and bear's paw tofu for my brother as he is leaving here tomorrow. Good success, Cabbage was delicious. Tofu sauce was excellent, will alter tofu cooking method for next time I do this one.

A table set with a pale blue and white striped tablecloth

On the left is a rectangular white and blue Chinese china serving plate with pale waxy stir fried cabbage liberally mixed with dried chillies and fried minced lamb, flavoured with a bit of soy, black vinegar and ginger.

Made bread again, got the little bubbles on the crust this time! Pretty much perfect now for the swiss style bread I want. Not as pretty as from a real bakery but very happy

Two roughly 35cm long baguette-ish loaves with nice medium to deep brown crusy. Somewhat scuffed slices that didn't quite open up while baking as they should.

Closeup of one of the loavesnshowing the tiny little bubbles in the crust

A cross srction showing medium tight crumb but exactly the texture I was going for. Definitely holes but no big ones

Some devilled egg salad, always makes me think of my dad. No bscon bits though, which he always added but I didn't have any bacon at hand. I miss you, Daddie. May 1st he died, which seems very appropriate somehow.

Very pleased with this. Edges a bit thick, bit too much scorch on the kale but tasty crust, thin still with some chew

Top down view of the pizza with slightly browned mozzarella, somewhat too scorched kale. Rest is as described in post.

Side view of the pizza and you can see it is very thin, just a few milimeters.

Bottom view of pizza slice, nicely browned and no scorch

Bacon n beans n lentils n veg

A white ceramic bowl with light blue and light pink lined rim filledneith the aforementioned beans, bacon and lentils (though also onion, celery, carrot, oregano, thyme and paprika). It is a bowl of brown orange bean stew that honestly any non vegetarian would have a gold time with it, by the looks. Good bit of olice oil flosting on top but not tok much. There's a good pile of chopped parsley on top and a side plate with old style buttered knäckebröd.

It's not been super cold this winter but been snowy and just a bit below zero long enough that the sea froze nicely anyway

A scene of white snowy winter on the shoreline of a baltic island. In the foreground is an old rickety wooden jetty going out into a frozen white sea. The landscape in the middle distance is the other side of the bay with dark woods reaching all the way around from right to left. The sky is a bright and clear light blue with the full sun in the top left.

Similar scene as first picture but straight to the west with the sun near the center of the picture, minus jetty

The same as previous picture but looking slightly east. There are dark rocks sticking out of the sea here and there and a scrubby tree on the right side clinging to somr rocks

A nice dal and one of my better naan attempts

A bowl of brown indian tal tempered with fried onions and the usual spices. Nice sheen of oil and the floating red chili, browned onions and such. There is also a small handful of chopped coriander. To the side is a rather large oven baked naan, it is a little hit browned but not really any black bits but otherwise good

Not the neatest bowl in the world but this was the best thing i've made in some time. The cabbage maybe ended uo making the soup a bit bitter after a bit, the cheap bit of ox cheek i got on sale was fantastic braised in the soup though. Lanzhou beef noodle soup

A chinese style blue and white soup bowl filled with a dark brown soup with a glisten of red chili oil and beef fat. To the side is blanched savoi cabbage and in the center, over a pile of hidden noodles, is a mix of braised ox cheek, braised dailon, blanched bean sprouts, chopped coriander, chopped red chili and spring onion.
