Eating Well!

I've been eating well (too well) over the last couple of weeks:

Last Friday was my mother's birthday (86) so we took her to Turners in nearby Harborne, which has just been awarded a Michelin star. Did the 7-course tasting menu, which really wasn't bad -- my favourite part was the scallop tartar.

Then this week was the wedding anniversary, so off to Edmund's in Brindley Place in Birmingham --- really good food and wine (nice to see some 1/2 bottles) == beef fillet was great.

The I cooked tonight: scallops with bacon and black pudding on caulfifower puree: pork fillet braised in apple juice with saffron bread sauce (sourdough bread, which was interesting) and french beans: cheese: creme brulee.

Next Saturday, we're taking Selwyn to Liaison in Hall Green (it's his Christmas & Birthday present) - so that'll be interesting too!

However, it's now confirmed that we're having the coldest winter for 13 years! The forecast for tomorrow ad tuesday is dire (lots of snow) so we'll see!
