I didn't do alot of cooking this weekend as it was my friends Engagement Party.
Friday (Party)
I tried black pudding for the first time, it certainly wasn't that I expected it to be and I rather enjoyed it. I also had some delightful cheeses, apricot in cheese is always a favourite of mine, though there was a herby one and a spiced crust one too, delicious.
Saturday
Considering the German Market has opened in Birmingham, I thought I'd do a little food journalism, so we went to have a look but it was that crowded that I could barley move, let alone get my camera out for photos. I will try again though, I'm not letting that stop me, there's so much to eat there! At least I can say that the stollen cake is good, the frankfurters are amazing and the flavoured coffee smelt wonderful.
I cooked the steak in orange sauce again, not only for myself and Craig but for his mother too. They had the beef steak, I had turkey. The turkey cooked in orange was rather nice, but now I'm thinking that's a rather festive sounding dish.
Whilst in Birmingham we bought a large box of Krispy Kreme Donuts, the Snowman one is my current favourite, but then again when aren't Snowmen my favourite?
Sunday
We went to a local craft fair and I had the most delightful Toffee Apple Cupcake. It was amazing, The toffee icing wasn't sickly and the toffee pieces on top were lovely, then you bite into the soft toffee sponge, which was the perfect level of moist without being sticky and there was the apple filling.
I honestly get the feeling I could eat those cupcakes over and over. I have their business card
I did create a nice simple little noodle soup, which I am writing up the recipe for. In honesty I think this is a good leftovers recipe or one of those nice simple starters for a dinner party.
For now, bon appetite!
