Sundays are for cooking with family.

Bangers, mash and beans. Need I say more?

OK, and a 21 year-old Caol Ila with just a drop of water.

Sleep well.

White water

You can get milk in American coffee houses (and supermarkets too) called 2%. I think that correlates to the chances of me drinking it.

Pork is underrated.

Al Dente asked me a while back about some of my favorite wines. While we were in South Africa for a wedding in the Franschoek wine region we visited a vineyard called De Trafford. While I am not at all a wine expert, I know what I like - and we like almost everything that we tasted. It is a small production vineyard run by a husband and wife who are very hands on. It was the only vineyard where we actually met the owners, who are avid mountain climbers as well - and spent a few hours tasting and learning about their wines. They have a straw wine that it a sweet dessert wine that was different than any other dessert wine. They also have a great Chenin Blanc and Cabernet. The prices are very reasonable for the quality. It is hard to find, so if you need to find a distributor, call Bryce at Boutique Wine Collection - 914-954-6583 to find out where to order.

The answer is Mac & Cheese. I made this for my daughters birthday party. Even though I was a inadvertently heavy handed with the cayenne pepper, there was nary a morsel left.

Last night I ate two jacket potatoes drowned in grated cheddar cheese.

Sometimes the simple things in life are just so good I wonder why I bother complicating things so much.
