Well yesterday was quite a day. It all started quite peacefully with a walk in Highgate Woods…
and ended with a raucous party for two in my kitchen. Much booze was drunk, much dancing was done and many transatlantic texts flew through the ether between me in North London and my beloved Frickster in Austin, Texas.

It took longer than expected but that was mostly due to the fact that Mr R was DJing via YouTube and playing such excellent tunes I kept having to stop and have a boogie. This one summed up the feeling of the evening, sung at high volume by us both…
Ron’s dish seemed a perfectly Autumnally toned dinner for a perfectly Autumnally toned day. I am now READY for lockdown #2. I am happy and I can cope with whatever gets chucked at me. Fortified by pork! Cooked in the family brew…

I made this stew and it was great! All beer is the way to go. I also just used a large onion, which worked out just fine. It was great for the first chilly weekend in Southern California. Thank you for this one!
