Today I’ve been a bit grumpy. I had to set my alarm to wake up this morning, and I hate weekends when I have to set my alarm. I want to wake up naturally and gradually and just lie in a cocoon of warmth for as long as I please. To add insult to injury, I actually I woke up before my alarm. Then I was forced out of my bed and into the freezing cold to go to the sketchy mall in Elephant & Castle to buy a mop. Not a great way to start a Saturday morning.
So, about this damn mop. We had a cleaning woman come for four hours today to clean our flat as we’re moving in a few days. She did a good job. As I had to stay around the flat while she was cleaning I used the time to purge my room of lots of clutter and to file away all sorts of odds and ends. You would not believe how many tester-sized pots of moisturizer I had. Anyways, the cleaning and purging is now done. The place is amazing. Everything is gleaming and there’s that lemon and pine clean smell.
Joyce and I have probably eradicated most of that smell in just a few short hours though. How? We cooked pork belly! We followed the instructions on the back of the M&S package and I think it let us down a bit. Last time we made it, we used a Jamie Oliver recipe and we had the most amazing cracking. This time, the top didn’t get hard. It was a bit sad. We tried to save it by turning on the broiler, but this just burned the top and produced a bunch of smoke. Goodbye lemony freshness.
All in all though, the food was good! Pork belly is one of my favourites; I’m so happy I can eat it. And now I know, when cooking pork belly you have to cook it for 30 minutes at “full whack” before turning the oven temperature down for the last two hours.
