Twecipe day 15: Rugby interrupts food

The Ireland victory was great. Saturday was a long day of rugby so we started with a decent breakfast. Dinner was the leftover Normandy Pork from Friday. And, I broke a Twecipe challenge rule. When passing the fishmonger I spotted some whitebait and I had seen a simple chilli-dipping sauce on a food program on the BBC earlier that day. So, I decided to fry the whitebait with a little lime and some salt and serve them as a starter with the chilli sauce (reduction of rice wine vinegar, sugar and chilli). So the recipe wasn’t from twecipe. However, why let rules stand in the way of good food :)

Today I made the butternut squash soup that I made in the first week. I intend to do the shopping for week three tomorrow evening. Hopefully I’ll stick to the £40 limit but it’ll be difficult as we have overseas visitors next weekend. So I’ll be cooking for six. I want to make something slightly special for our visitors. Special in the sense that I would like something of slightly restaurant quality. I want to attempt some fine-dining stuff.
