Alive, well in a round about sort of way.

Hmm it seems that perhaps the curry pork was a bad idea as it left me feeling a bit ill yesterday, though to be honest yesterday was a good day for cooking.
First off me and my girlfriend did a spot of baking resulting in a ginger and Cinnamon cake with lemon butter icing. Now perhaps it didn't turn out quite like we expected, but none the less delicious it was even is it was more of a gingerbread sort of thing.
Maybe in retrospect the reason it didn't cook so well was due to our 'lets add a bit more Cinnamon, yeah?' method, i don't know and i'm not one to point fingers.
Sticking to the recipe, sorry i mean having a recipe and not making it up as we went along may of been a grand idea as they say baking is like science.
Possibly its a little beyond my double A's at GCSE like.

However the tea that evening was splendid, we had pork loin (i know again! but i bought a lot and it needs to be used really) grilled with mint plus roasties served with either a onion chutney or mint sauce.
The mint sauce was amazing and made by my equally delicious girlfriend, i think it was just freshly chopped mint, straight from our window sill no less, mixed with vinegar and sugar.

I used a similar method for my onion chutney, softening the onion and letting it brown before adding some sage, i broke it down a bit more before stirring in a generous helping of sugar and a good dash of vinegar, it turned out really well and tasted rather good.
