Back home to stay - Monday, 14th October, 2013....now what's going on???

Ingredients for my Griddled Pork Belly lunch today!

We've had a super weekend but, isn't there always a but somewhere, I've got work to do and so must drag myself away from Wales - oh dear!

Before I go, however, there's one more meal to cook, and a new loaf of bread, in a box kit, which I bought from Brecon Food Festival last weekend...from the nice people at Talgarth Mill, Talgarth, Powys.

Cake in a Box

A very easy bread to mix and make and here is the finished article, which the dear SO enjoyed very much!

 

Hot Fruit Bread!!!

For lunch, I griddled belly pork chunks, added potato gnocchi and casseroled a cabbage and onion spicy mix to serve  a hearty meal for both of us before I drove home from Wales.

Belly Pork cooks very easily and is jolly good!!!


A good drive home, despite the rain, and interesting because I came across country, thru' Monmouth and past the Grammar School which is a lovely red-bricked building, past Ross-n-Wye but only seen from the motorway.  I'm going to make a detour on my next trip and visit Ross, which I'm sure will make a most enjoyable opportunity to explore and linger!!!

I wanted to stop at Toddington, their garden centre, which stocks an impressive range of plants and trees,only today I was anxious to buy seed potatoes for my new veggie garden, but even here they were all sold out so it looks as if I'll have to wait for next year before planting potatoes.  What a great pity:(:(:(

I carried on with my journey and reached home safely about 7o'clock and straight on to my book club meeting, finally getting home in time for bedtime - oh my, what a lovely busy day.......

Goodnight, Daisy!
