Overcooking
I blame the smoked taste on the snow.
The snow came today confining us to the village as no one felt confident enough to drive out in it. It was a good excuse to do some chores in the village and go for a walk.
L and I cooked today. The same Beef Wellington we did for Martin and Fhai. The problem was whilst we had a great local butcher and excellent beef we couldn’t find the ham to wrap it all up in. After trying all the shops in the village (which doesn’t take long) we headed back to the butcher to ask his advice.
His solution was a smoked bacon which he sliced thinly for us. It worked but not with the same “wow” factor that it does with all the right ingrediants. I also managed to overcook for us all. I’m only just getting used to producing the right amount for L and me but now to cook for 5 threw me completely.
As L’s Mum said, “Little people need little portions”.
At least the boys ate well.
