HOLIDAYS :)

Chef duties... hanging an octopus!
I know it may look disgusting, but I love it... pizza with sausage and chips!!! Blasphemy :D

Christmas table...


Paella :)
Panettone with Crema Lodigiana (eggs, mascarpone, sugar and brandy)

Ski!!!! Lots of fresh snow and not many people!

A truly beautiful day. It was -9C at 12pm


This first day of skiing has been really tiring...

I'll be back for more tomorrow! (What nasty fillings at the back...)
I have so much to study, but I'm falling asleep as we speak... Good night!

MCDONALD'S IN ITALY

I'm back home for the Christmas holidays.
Today we went to a big sopping centre just outside Milan for a bit of late Christmas shopping. We stoppoed at McDonald's for a quick lunch.
They have a new special: MOZZARILLO. I had to try it.
Just to clarify, I hardly ever eat at McDonald's, but when I travel I like trying what is not on the British menu... not sure why...

Mozzarillo is a burger in focaccia bread...

... some kind of basil and tomato mayo, lettuce and mozzarella. I thought it was nice. I liked the mozzarella. It could have done with a bit more flavour, but for McDonald's it wasn't bad ;)

These two didn't get Mozzarillo!
