I can’t decide whether heaven would smell like azahar blossoms in spring time or bacon and garlic sizzling in olive oil. What would your heaven smell like?

It’s been YEARS since I made a caesar salad and I don’t know why. It was so garlicky, cheesy, bacony delicious with fresh crispy romaine and toasted crunchy croutons… a total flavour and texture delight. Perhaps not the “healthiest” of salads, but it’s certainly my favourite. What’s yours?

I don’t know how these things happen but I can start off a day feeling fairly normal and with a “to do” list of things of thing I want to take care of, and then remember that a few weeks ago someone mentioned pistachio pesto on Twitter and then I’m suddenly lost down a google pesto rabbit-hole. This is followed by an immediate desire – nay, OBSESSION – to make this dish NOW (last time this happened I think it was lamb faggots). Anyhow, after a quick trip to the supermarket to get some pistachios and basil I was in business.

Yes, World Cocktail Day is actually a thing, and it’s also today. I just found out this morning and, as luck would have it, I had plans to meet Peter for lunch at a “new” taquería (well, new to me) and well… it would’ve been rude not to. I had a margarita and Peter a paloma, which is like a margarita but made with grapefruit juice. Both were lovely. Did you partake today? I’m going to have to put this in my calendar. 🍸🍹🥃
