Today in deference and solidarity to Greece .... I have been cooking brochettes (kebabs) in my new experimental brochette marinade.
Wifey reminds me that when we go to Cyprus or Greece everyone thinks I am either Cypriot of Greek a slur I wear with pride. It is - I like to think - my feelings about lunch and wine and my impersonation of a sloth. I also have facial hair and sit back on chairs just before the point that they collapse. If you get my drift. I think I am a Cypriot actually. I think I must be.
I once told wifey that if everything went South and I bankrupted us we would live in Cyprus and she would put the meat and sheftaila on skewers in a bucket between her legs ... grow a moustache like many elderly Greek women ... and I would take up smoking (a minimum requirement of all kebab cooks) put on a stained shirt ( I can manage that .... ) and cook kebabs over charcoal on a street stand .. with a few sweetcorn in their silk ... and sell them.
I told her we would change our names to Stavros and Donna Kebab and blend in. We have come quite close ...

I decided we should be Portugese rather than Greek this evening ...
Yesterday's supper was simple piri piri wings .... have you any idea how long that salad took to make?
.... and this morning's breakfast is lovely .....

Mixed grill of steak,lamb cutlet,pork sausage,liver,bacon,bubble and squeak and two fried eggs.
I'd put up a picture but it didn't stay on the plate long enough.
Even now I can hear my arteries hardening.

Bumped-up Singapore noodles. I got an order of Singapore noodles from a place down the street, and on their own, they're as boring as leftovers as they were when I first got them. But today for lunch I had the idea to mix in a couple of tablespoons from a jar of spicy, oily, fenugreek-rich "mixed pickle in oil." NOW those are tasty noodles!

I have a jar of chili-garlic paste (halfway between paste and sauce) that serves well for that.
