Roast salmon with new potatoes, cherry tomatoes and asparagus, cause that’s how we roll when Petra isn’t home.
Ha.

Chicken and chorizo with grilled gouda, jalapeño relish, and crispy salad, all on a fresh baguette. Student eating at its finest.

So I heard you like food… Nom.

Easter in England.

Best doughnuts ever: double chocolate doughnuts from Piemaker. Chocolate heaven.

Pancake day! Cocoa pancakes with my mum’s homemade blueberry jam. Noms.

Chicken nuggets. No, I’m not particularly proud of myself for buying them, but they are decent. And I am a poor student, so your argument is invalid.
My three variations so far:
1, Sandwiches with Tabasco. Because Tabasco makes everything taste a million times better.
2, Nuggets with herby potatoes. Those potatoes were heavenly, made with some home-grown herb mum brought me for Christmas. Nom.
3, Chicken nugget wraps with Nando’s Peri-Peri hot sauce, mayo, salad and tomatoes. Very tasty indeed.
See, even thing as horrible as chicken nuggets from Iceland can be used tastefully. On a certain level.

12oz centre cut steak from the Saltwater Steakhouse in Galveston, TX. Served with sweet potato fries, Caesar salad, 22 fl oz of lager, and seriously good bread smothered in honey butter. Everything is bigger in Texas.

My Christmas present: a cafètiere, filled with freshly-ground Columbian roast from the deli across the road. Just add Bailey’s.

This is what we dined last night - fantastic chicken enchiladas with tortilla chips made from leftover tortillas. Spicy noms.

The variety and sense of detail my grandma puts into her Christmas cookies is fascinating.
Pretty stuff.

We never said Czech cuisine was healthy.
But it is fucking delicious. And I will have to wait for this another year now. Boo.

Mama J’s healthy meatloaf smothered in Papa A’s homemade unhealthy BBQ sauce, served with garlic bread and broccoli (so we can feel healthy). This is what happens when you let the Yanks cook. I am sternly informed that only one of the chefs was a Yankee, incidentally, to which I said “y’all are Yanks to me”.
AB
Deviled eggs, made by my Yankee housemate and her guest. Faye describes them as “profound” and “old time” appetisers. I like; they beat regular boiled eggs, anyway.
AB
Banana and white choc chip muffins. Half with coffee buttercream icing. Like all my muffins they did not rise properly, but chewy banana cake is a fine consolation prize.
