OK, What's For Tea Today?
Proper Mac & Cheese tonight, baked with a cheese and breadcrumb crust. Now to decide what cheeses to use... blend of Cheddar and Grana Padano with a little touch of Gorgonzola I think. Got a spare little pack of pancetta so might as well put that in too. Also a cheeky base of finely chopped shallots and butter, good grate of nutmeg and grind of black pepper into the finished sauce. Will get some pics up when it’s ready.

Bet that'll be great, Neil... We want some piccies!
Later I'll be enjoying a classic Italian recipe of pan-fried chicken breasts in beer and lemon, sprinkled with fresh parsley:
It's one of my favs. Will snap a pic of how it turns out, compared with the above.
It'll be served with some Spätzle http://hapanom.com/homemade-spaetzle-brown-butter/ which is a German/Austrian soft egg-noodle dish (kind of mini dumplings), which taste all buttery and gorgeous, so there'll be a bit of fusion going on, and some simple steamed green beans

Meatballs going on today. Will have some of these with a basic tomato ragu and some pasta. Half and half beef and pork with some chopped salami, breadcrumbs, egg, parmesan and s&p. Stick in freezer for 10 mins (stops them falling apart when fried/browned).
