Yesterday was insufferably hot and humid - I lost all appetite. Added to which, a neighbour was having a barbeque, and the smell of burnt animal flesh was bad enough, but when he (I assume it was a 'he'; as men seem to think it is their right and obligation to 'do' barbeques, when at all other times they are quite content to let their other halves do the cooking), started barbequing fish the smell was absolutely nauseous!Quote:

Took a quick snap of the Tournedos Rossini:

Didn't have time to take any more, as I was too busy chatting, eating and drinking!:cool:

I don't think you've put enough cheese on.Quote:

Do bear in mind too, that the beef was preceded by some bruschetta, and other examples of Italian 'tapas'/little bites (served with the aperitifs), including a starter course of spinach and ricotta crespelle, which was quite filling. Plus, I had to make room for the Tiramisu afterwards!
Also, unlike others, I *HATE* having my plate piled full of food, so that it just looks like a mountain of mush/stodge. It really puts me off.
Instead, I like to see what I'm eating (all elements of it), and only put on my plate what I think I'll finish. Therefore, large plates facilitate that, so you can space things out nicely. It also aids nice presentation, which for me is crucial:)
If I want more food, I can have it, *if* I feel like it. The Italian way of doing things, during a meal, is always to put different types of veg into individual serving bowls, so folk can help themselves, rather than being given one big plate of stuff, all plied up like school dinners!:nono:

Supper and breakfast tomorrow. Probably better cold.
Fried in e.v. olive oil baked potato and shallots with taleggio egg thingy.
Quite good.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...cc84a9a679.jpg
This plate needs to be larger.Quote:
