I remember having brawn during the period of rationing just after WW2. My mother made it from leftovers sourced from goodness knows where. A welcome treat after yesterday's bread and dripping.
It's how we made do in those dark days. A taste of things to come post-pestilence?

Well, after another exciting day in lockdown, bagging up some tree cuttings, then taking said bag to the bin. Then a nice stroll to the recycling bins about 150 meters in the other direction, went shopping for tonight´s dinner. Found some pork chops with the skin on in the local butchers, most of the Spanish supermarkets only sell the chops without the skin, so no crackling 
, so here is tonight´s " special of the house "
Did like some of the comments above, but some new recipes would be good. Got one from a friend via WhatsApp, corned beef and vegetable pie. If I can track down some corned beef will give it a go!

After another exciting day in lockdown, including a trip to the shop which means I cannot go out tomorrow, decided to cook the evening meal.
As promised yesterday, nothing British, that is I don´t think there´s anything British about it.
However, I think the song got it wrong. There are 4 steps to heaven.
Step1
Step2
Step3
Step4
Now that sure seems like heaven to me!

I really hope there was NO squid/octipus in in that - I REALLY CAN'T tell you JUST HOW MUCH I HATE the taste & texture of those things! OTOH, I suspect that, unfortunately, there might have been because it would appear that you can't make a "decent paella" without them - but that's just the Spanish for you

OK, but what's that "stuff" in the lowest righthand small dish (looks "suspicious" to me!)?

OK, so NO squid OR octipus - but better not to use too much of that, otherwise "family relations" might be " jeapordised"

I'm no "food critic" 'cause I'll eat many things and am really not fussy about the taste, most of the time - it's just that I really "hate" anything with squid or octopus in it because of the texture and taste!
PS: love garlic (as does SWMBO!
) and so that's not a problem - OTOH, the "other stuff " is "verboten" as far as I/we are concerned.

A few years back we were on holiday in Seville and took a days cookery course on how to make a paella. We were told in no uncertain terms by the chef that paella can only be called that, if it's made with chicken or rabbit. Anything else is a spicy seafood risotto made in a paella pan..
