Victorian dad. I don't think I ever heard my dad fart either tbh. Probably the benefits of corporeal punishment.

I never heard my old man let one go either. Perhaps our generation just represses these memories in some strange conjunction of flatulence and oedipal terror?
I had the other pork chop last night, pan fried with some rosemary and finished in the oven with a cream and mustard sauce, carrots braised in butter, and green beans. Was so lush, I want to eat it again right now.

I love Iranian food, or rather, it's probably more fair to say I have enjoyed it on the occasions I've had it. Definitely deserves to be more well-known in the West. A recipe we've cooked a few times is duck fesenjan, which has a sauce made from crushed walnuts, pomegranate molasses and lime juice. It's incredibly oily because of the nuts, the fatty duck and the butter it's fried in before you transfer it to the pot, but OH GOD it's so good.
About two and half geological aeons ago I went to an Iranian restaurant somewhere in NW London with Idle and various others. We ordered this shared meat platter that was meant to be for four people between the two of us, and when it turned up everyone said "No way are you two going to be able to eat that". About five minutes later we'd already demolished half of it and I don't think there was any left to take home.

don't think I've ever been to another Persian restaurant, this place is really small place, only fits about 15 people. they have chicken or tofu fesenjan, will give it a try next time. the menu includes kebobs but their specialty is these great stews (fesenjan, gheimeh and ghormeh sabzi).

Going this route tonight with some added grated cheese on top. I've got some sugar snap peas as well to ward off scurvy.

sugar snap cooked on the pizza or on the side?
we're doing some sort of roasted acorn squash (stuffed with rice, veggie mince, corn, chipotle adobo, onion and seasonings) and broccoli, and I'm sure a glass or two of Pinot noir. fall is squash time of the year. light the oven, warm the apartment, comfy slippers, pour a glass, a nice glow. going out on Saturday nights is overrated, amateur hour.

Yeah where was that place? Think it was maybe Kilburn or something right Tea?
On Friday we went out to this new "underground" venue thing which has opened up amongst a load of warehouses and stuff in Marvila. You find this door and this guy in army clothes leads you to a lift which goes up to the third floor which has a pretty good space in it. A bit like where Bodyhammer used to be on Cambridge Heath Road but quite a bit bigger. Anyway, we were meeting some people before-hand for food so we needed to find a place in that area and the first one we found by googling was (of course) a kooky pizza and Indian restaurant with "crazy" furniture like all the light fittings being upside down baths or boxes and stuff and unmatched chairs including rocking chairs etc. It's called We Do Not Exist or something and it has an "anti-marketing" strategy apparently wherein they don't tell anyone about it apart from creating a website with loads of stuff telling you how good it is - needless to say it was packed and we could barely get a table. The pizzas were all weird ones with bizarre toppings, mine had black pudding and spicy chorico with orange and some kind of cheese sauce, it was called Across the Mountains of Azerbaijan - it was ok but not a taste sensation, though in fairness the other ones people had were better (think there was a Thai one with sweet prawns and a Japanese one with sushi or something). It sounds as though I'm taking the piss out of this place and I suppose I am but actually it was fun and comfy and the staff were friendly. I probably would hate it if I were still in London cos there are so many gimmicky places there but they are few and far between here and so it felt more like a breath of fresh air than a smug hipster wankfest. Just about.

Le Döner Kebab.
One thing about Germany is the lack of late night shopping. Really miss huge 24 hour supermarkets for walking around in at 2am. There's maybe 3 here. And then on top of that, Sunday, everything's closed. Only a handful of supermarkets are open, and they're all totally rammed. Luckily a kebab is an entire meal. Meat n veg all in one delicious and greasy bite. So when you didn't plan for Sunday its a pretty good option.

Just cooked a Dahl with fenugreek seeds, cumin, cinnamon, turmeric and chilli for spicing. Used coconut milk and chicken stock to cook it as opposed to water for extra richness. Stirred some Roasted squash through.
Improvised a tomato sauce for the kids cos I couldn't be fucked going to the shops again, can of tom's, sugar, salt, butter. That felt like more of a cooking challenge than the main meal, as I have to take out all the tasty bits that I'd include if it was for me - garlic, basil etc

Damn. What next? There was nothing quite like being in a giant asda on the edge of town, late at night. Stoned out of your bracket, wandering aimlessly, taking it all in.
Update, went to the supermarket in the end. Tried Ben and Jerry's non dairy for a lark. Fucking huge mistake.
Double update. First time I've ever not finished a pint. Woe is me.
