The Boy's Room

Ahh.... child free and home alone Tuesday....

Blissful day spent pottering about tidying up, getting on with the current "whitening" projects I have on the go and preparing dinner.  Tonight we are having  Gordon Ramsay's twice cooked pork belly.  Mmmm, the smells from my oven are maddening.  According the BBC website cooking the pork in fat (confit) actually makes it leaner as the fat is rendered out.  I am yet to be convinced, but lets see how we go.

I spent an inordinate amount of time making The Boy's room tidy, easier to play in and more pleasing to the eye (it is a win-win really)

The picture was an engagement present to the Mr and I.  It is the Story Bridge here in Brisbane with the Kookaburra Queen paddle steamer in the foreground.  It has found a good home here, I think.

  1. Mmmm, pork belly! Surely the fat is rendered IN, which is what makes it all so delicious!

  5. Very nice! That pork sounds amazing. I once made a Gordon Ramsey recipe..a chicken pie from scratch and it was out of this world.
