There has been a definite hint of spring over the past week or so. I've sat in the sun every lunchtime with my thermos of soup, and today it's the lightest it's been on the ride back. With a full fridge and summer (theoretically) around the corner, it feels right to revisit this experimental fish dish, and not just because cooking fresh fish is ten times nicer than week-old fish.
Again we use creme fraiche rather than cream, and this time I don't forget to keep some stock back so the creamy new potatoes and courgettes are much closer to what I imagine they should've tasted like. However for a second time running the fish just falls apart in the pan. I can't think what's going wrong; the pan's hot, the oil is hot, I've seasoned the fish and lightly floured it, but it just doesn't seem to hold together. It's still nice, it just looks odd:
Food of the Milos
With trips to the park, Homebase and a visit from Jude, it's all action for the little beast and we also have further evidence of a possible growth spurt...
Breakfast: crumpet, cherry tomatoes, apple and cheese;
Lunch: spaghetti hoops on toast and an alpro soy custard pudding I got free at Oxford Circus on Friday;
Dinner; two (2!) helpings of last night's hearty vegetable pie, mini broccoli and carrots, and three yoghurt tubes.
He has also inexplicably decided he no longer likes the following things (not that we listen to him of course): Peas, blueberries, marmite, bananas.
