A fairly progressive day...

A pretty quiet day at work today, but that just gave me more time to experiment with food! I managed to get the beetroot toast right, (thank you Jaimie von Beaverhausen) and topped it with goats cheese and caramelised onion. It was quite scrummy!


Also tried a new accompaniment with the tuna steak today. Some finely sliced green beans, blanched, then refreshed in iced water to keep their colour with some finely chopped tomato. I warmed it all through with some butter, salt & pepper and it turned out like this..........





 Then a very good friend of ours Gem, aka Serena Akeroyd, (http://fledglingwriter.weebly.com) designed and completed our new website. She still has a little tweaking to do with the menus, but it will be finished shortly ;0) If you're bored have a look at www.Laurasrestaurantcalpe.com

Sleep well foodies its time for bed. Today's little tip.... if you find it hard to sleep, dont count sheep..... instead try counting unctuous lamb shanks slowly braised in red wine and chicken stock till they fall off the bone.... Works for me! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
