Hey all, still alive…no need to panic.

We had a great time this saturday just gone, which happened to be Jodie’s birthday. Nice relaxing morning, watched some TV (from the massive backlog of shows she’s got recorded atm!!) then to Forbes and Burton for tea. Got the recommendation from some friends at college (thank sam+soph) really nice place.

I ordered the salmon and incidentally got introduced to a (relatively) new style of food preparation “Sous-vide” the gist is the food gets sealed in a bag under vaccuum with oil, spices etc then cooked in a precisely temperature controlled water bath (like they use in laboratories) keeping all the flavour and moisture in the meat and cooking it to perfection every time. I liked the taste and the high tech nature of the food. very scientific! (go on nerds google it to see all sorts of optimum cooking time graphs

Jodie had a sweet roasted eggplant and roast veg gnocci. not so scientific but still nice she tells me!
