I had some mozzarella open so I used that for this salsa quesadilla. It wasn't a complete disaster but I should have opened some Cheddar.

Now this looks very tasty! One pot and packed with flavour! Easy on the eye easy on the washing up and delish.
For me it’s hotel food! Kitchen has hit a bit of a problem hopefully will be sorted tomorrow

Braised beef parsnip purée carrots and bacon gravy! Very tasty lots of black pepper in the gravy gives it a bit of a kick! Not bad for hotel food

Bacon gravy - that is unusual. I adore parsnips in any shape or form. The hotel is big on carrots, I note!

Now this looks very tasty! One pot and packed with flavour! Easy on the eye easy on the washing up and delish.

There are a few more stages but not too much washing up. Apples come into play.

Lunch today was a Balboa hero (hot roast beef, raw onions, and melted American cheese on steamed garlic bread)

I do a beef and cheddar special quite often..it always sells well..

I had to work late this morning, so I had thought of you, Rock, when I went to get Halal cart chicken and rice for lunch.

I was so disappointed when my usual cart guy from Lebanon wasn't there. I've been going to the same guy on the same block for about 25 years.

You should add the Balboa (named after Rocky Balboa since it's like a Philly cheesesteak) to your repertoire.

The steamed, buttered garlic bread is the key. You can do cheddar, but 'murican cheese makes it more "Rocky".
I think of England when I think of Cheddar.

Of course I was kidding! Should have put in a smiley.

Its not so easy to get veal here. There is still prejudice against it due to some cruel farming practices in the UK many, many years ago. So thousands of bull calves are simply shot at birth, rather than being raised for veal.

What a relief! I was a little worried about you

I'm not able to manage much at the moment, but with 12 dozen eggs in the fridge and another dozen a day being acquired, let's just say I can practice a plenty with omelettes. A simple olive and coconut oil cheese omelette. The brown olives are locally grown kalamati olives (hope I've got that correct). There's plenty around (with the sole exception of my olive tree which so far flowers and produces nothing! ).

Yesterday's omelette

I forgot to photo today's, but it was white onion, cherry plum tomatoes and asparagus.
