For what it's worth, I love you..

I was in Kingston last Friday after uni and decided to drop by the market to get stuff.

Kingston market has a new butcher that sells free range meat. It IS more expensive than the normal chicken.

You can buy a normal farm bred chicken from Sainsbury's or Tesco's for about £3, the same from Kingston will cost you £5.99 or £10 for 2.

Is it worth the extra £2? 

Definitely. The chicken tastes better, it doesn't have so much fat, the skin is thicker and flesh firmer.

So.. I got us a chicken and some pork belly from the butcher at Kingston as I was having a craving for char siew pau and nam yee pau..

Got cooking during the weekend (yes, despite all the programming coursework I had due), the char siew didn't become pau as there was too much nam yee pork..

This is the husband's first taste of nam yee pau.. I think he will probably stick to char siew.. haha.. 

Bronx on the other hand.....

 

Here's what the paus look like raw, I had extra dough and kaya in the fridge, so made a kaya pau for the husband..

Notice we have our new kitchen worktop in? That's been installed months ago back in November, it's Corian, it's easy to keep clean and it's blue - like Jakey's eyes..

I still miss him... everyday..

It's finally March and spring is a-coming! 

We are going to have a rather full month with 2 pieces of coursework due for the husband, my consulting project going on full swing, both of us researching our thesis and us starting up the finishing jobs for the house again..

April had better hurry and come!
