Last nights 3 meat meatloaf, shredded cabbage fried low and slow in butter, gravy made from proper chicken stock and pan juices. The baby weighed in at 1.5 kg so plenty cold for tonight.
Because I can't get a hire car till next week. They will not accept my UK driving licence because of the Brexit confusion. I have to exchange it on Wednesday at the Police station. We use the bus to go to a shopping and market area in a very large social housing complex. I found a new butchers shop had opened. The owner was trained in Northern Ireland which is renowned for butchery skills. He speaks excellent English as does his assistant so the craic is good. This was were I bought the delicious calves liver. For meatloaf, burgers etc we both like equal portions of Beef, Veal and Pork. He was happy to mince the mix. I baptisted every morsel in my cabbage font of gravy.

Hungers mate the Croatian language has many words similar to Turkish. Krumpir is potato here. Your krumpir looks the dogs. Bravo.

You like to grill and smoke foods. Try smoked meatloaf, sometime. That's the only way I make it, now. I use charcoal and hickory wood chunks. It only takes about an hour -- the ground meat really take the smoke well in a relatively short time. I use a 50/50 mix of beef and pork -- veal is out of favor in the US.

Try it!

We both just had two free range poached eggs on cheesy thick cut bread. Yolks are soooo good.

Doggers mate I think you gave me this advice before. With winter coming we will transfer the majority of the low and slow to the wood burning oven /grill in the garden . First I will cook it in the peka inside the oven with the doors closed. To produce the smoke Carmilo uses soaked vine pruning added to the hard wood fire.

 

[Burt Blank]

The hard wood is from just down the road in Stobrec.

We have this set up in the garden as do most houses in Dalmacia. We are both itching to make bread in the Peka.

Fruit platter. We still get those local greenhouse-grown strawberries from every supermarket. The other fruit is imported from... Zululand. I love the yellow kiwi fruit; they're so much sweeter than the green ones.

I seldom ever eat cake, and it's even rarer that I make it, but yesterday I spotted a recipe that provided a solution the the bunch of over-ripe bananas in the fruit bowl. Date, banana and walnut cake - it's not much to look at, but it is divine.
