I had meant to write about all the fun things I have been up to and all the delicious food I have cooked and eaten, but now I am having difficulty remembering everything (I hate getting older).

We bought some delicious mackerel from a fisherman at Ballintoy harbour which we simply pan fried and ate with potatoes and veg.

Another tasty meal involved lamb leg steak, potato gratin, red cabbage and redcurrant jelly. It was blissful.

I used to be a vegetarian and when I was my favourite pizza in the whole world was pear and gorgonzola from La Porchetta. Recently I managed to make some passable homemade pizza dough (from the Pizza Express cookbook) and decided to try some proper pizza toppings. I have made American Hots and last weekend I made pear and gorgonzola. It was different to the La Porchetta pizza, yet had the same delicous pear and gorgonzola taste. Mmmmm!

Today I made lamb kebabs with cannellini bean salad. I also made pesto with our homegrown basil.

Yesterday we went to the Belfast Maritime Festival with D’s neice, who is visting from Australia. We ate yummy burritos and ice cream from Glastry Farm.

Now we are preparing for a holiday next week in County Kerry. I can’t wait!
