Meal 54 - June 23rd - Tapas Bruschetta, Golden Grilled Sardines
Here in England, we play a game called cricket. Basically, the bowler hurls the ball toward the batter who tries to play away a fine leg. He endeavours to score by dashing between the creases, provided the wicket keeper hasn’t whipped his bails off. Games can last for up to 5 days, so the players break for tea in the mid afternoon, during which they traditionally eat cucumber sandwiches. Today England are competing in a rare final (well they will be if the bloody rain stops!) and so what better occasion to break out this very summery looking DIY type open sandwich thingy? There may not be any cucumber involved but the picnicy element is very cricket friendly.

Turkish Flats, Shred Salad, Feta and Herbs
Meal 8 - Jan 20th - Turkish Flats, Shred Salad, Feta and Herbs
With an important afternoon of Premier League football ahead, we knew that our usual Sunday afternoon lunch of soup would not cut it. Naturally we turned to Jamie and, having been yet to try any lamb recipes (I know, it's not really the season) I had had my eye on this one for a few days.
We'd bought the ingredients yesterday and substituted the tortillas for flatbreads. The cooking lamb, with all the spices and flavourings mingling away, briefly transported me to the bazaars of Constaninople before the smoke alarm brought me back with a bump. Fortunately no major damage was done, and with the salad taking all of 30 seconds to slice in the processor, there was at one point serious danger that I might actually cook this in under 15 minutes. I even had time to knock up some home made houmous.
With THFC scoring a last minute equaliser it turned out to be a very satisfactory afternoon indeed.
Lolz gave the dish 9/10. We both agreed that there was a bit too much lemon, while a bit more lamb wouldn't go amiss either. Difficulty rating 3/10. If using flatbreads, they only need a couple of minutes in the oven!
