Yorkshire bound

Despite forecasts of snow, sleet et al, Hector and I are off to Yorkshire tomorrow to visit friends and relatives. I am safe in the knowledge that I have samples of biscotti as well as the results of this week's R&D - a really good Amaretti and a not quite so good Brutti ma Buoni (tastes bloody delicious, but looks like a pancake). If we are snowed in on the M-whatever, we shall eat biscuits.

I am hoping to visit Salvo's Salumeria in Headingley (near Leeds) who are allegedly purveyors of fine Amaretti. Our other culinary hot-spot to visit is Weeton's in Harrogate. This incredible emporium blew me away when I first visited it, as it was everything I would want my imaginary deli to be. I am hoping to woo them with my biscotti - I'll keep you posted! Another new customer was posted their order today - De-Liz in Tisbury near Salisbury. The following is growing!

Supper tonight was simple as ever: Mackerel fillets warmed on the pan until they start to release their wonderful oil with a 'house' salad (round lettuce, watercress, spring onions, avocado and pumpkin seeds - minus the pumpkin seeds as we were out of stock). Just the trick with a glass of French white wine that was on offer at Tesco's!

Asta la vista amigos!
