No, its star wars day

No, definitely bunny day.

Allow me to introduce "Cookie"...

A "rescue rabbit" from a place called Rabbit Ritz on the edge of town.

Boarding for hols, manicures and pampering, and no rabbit ever turned away, whatever it's health, and subsequent cost healing it. Re-houses the unwanted, or keeps them if unwanted at all. They got a couple they are "stuck with", but don't seem to mind that much.

Since when was Monday Pork night

I had pork steaks for dinner last night. Marinated/marinaded* in a red wine, herb and garlic sauce. Mash, carrots and peas

* which is it? marinated or marinaded? Both work in my spell checker!

[tim2]

I had a curry from Tesco's last night. Quite mild, because I was sharing with daughters who don't like spicy curries.

On the subject of pork. I noticed above a mention of belly pork. I had a right old disagreement with a restaurant owner about some I ordered last week. It turned up and it was over half fat with stringy tasteless lumps of meat making up the rest, the fat on top was still soft with absolutely no crackling at all. I sent it back as it was awful. The owner was most displeased and he said there was nothing wrong with it.

Now, was I right and his chef simply didn't know how to cook pork belly or was I being overly fussy?

I'd say you were right, the meat should be fall off the bone ( as it were) tender, the crackling should should be crisp and salty / seasoned

fat on pork should only really be soft when it is the fat on the side of a pork chop ( a pork chop with the kidney still on BTW)

Thanks I was quite annoyed at there being no crackling at all, the outside of the fat was simply browned by something, maybe gravy, and was nothing but soft jelly-like fat that I was able to simply swipe off with a knife leaving the stringy meat underneath. Even then, there were a few thin layers of meat with substantial bits of more jelly-like fat between them. ##### awful doesn't do it justice.
