Bread made during week: brown oatmeal - 50/50 coarse/medium oatmeal - turned out very nicely.

Satruday breakfast rolls: brown toasted pinenut, based rather loosely on James Beard's recipe, and I rather overestimated the proportion of nuts when making my calculations, but still, v nice.

Today's lunch: partridge breasts panfried according to packet instructions, served with rosemary jelly: with buttered full-flavoured cooking spinach, garlic-roasted sweet-stemmed cauliflower, and padron peppers. I had intended to serve Thai sticky rice with this, from a perhaps rather overpriced packet containing a rather meagre amount (200 g, 'serves 4') which I cooked, proportions of rice to water, timing, etc, according to the packet instructions, rather than the method I would usually favour for glutinous/sticky rice, and it turned out quite inedible.

In other food-related news, partner and I have not perhaps latterly been doing much destination dining, but yestere'en we went to Chez Bruce at Wandsworth Common. Very good, would go again, even if I had to remind them that a margarita should have salt on the rim.
