2023 - Tonight's recipe

Large ribeye steak with a few small calabrese florets stolen from allotment for lunch. Lambs liver with an onion, also from allotment for dinner.

Rations day 6.
B. Sourdough toast & plum jam
L. Salad of lettuce, watercress, rocket, spinach, cucumber, grated carrot and grated cheese with a squirt of mayonnaise.
A flapjack
D. Courgette, sliced and coated with beaten egg and panko breadcrumbs, shallow fried. The leftover egg and breadcrumbs were mixed together to make a strange eggy thing, like an omelette. With tomatoes and cucumber.

A bit of an experiment this morning. I eat a lot of ribeye but it is expesnsive so I have been looking for a cheaper cut of meat? 

Today I had a ribeye steak AND a braising steak roughly the same size pan fried together in my ridged frier. I had a couple of fried eggs with them.

As I expected, the ribeye was the tastiest and the tenderest but at TWICE the price of the other steak, was it worth it? The quetion is, would I rather have TWO braising steaks as opposed to one ribeye steak?

My conclusion is that a half way measure is called for with a mixture of both in the future to save a few pennies!

Do you lot see what I am having to put myself through for the sake of clarity!

You're a martyr to the cause, Vinny.
