cooking for two

What does love taste like?

Like bacon apparently.

Joe is very fond of bacon, and even more so of the double smoked pancetta I get from my regular butcher down the road. This Serbian couple set up shop 45 years ago and the smoked stuff is to die for. Fried till crisy or just to flavour a soup, both work.

We have also eaten many pizzas, souvlakis, desserts (my killer chocolate and pear muffin), hot chocolates. Joe reckons nothing is better than the Lambs outlet in Northcote for souvlakis, and as for pizzas, the $4 dinner special at the Lucky Coq can't be beat.

For a treat, he made his signature buttered prawns, only this time he added dried coconut and fried it in oil, instead of butter.

He was meant to fly off on Sunday night, the plane had technical difficulties - they had to reboot the flight computer and it still didn't work. So thank you malaysian airlines, for all the wrong reasons, for giving us an extra 60 hours together.
