Italian meatballs

After a bout of un-mentionable illness in the house, one which required a strict diet of cream crackers and water (yes, you know what I'm referring to), I found myself with a load of cream crackers to spare. I then came across Jamie Oliver's Meatball recipe which used crushed cream crackers instead of breadcrumbs. The meatballs turned out great and guess what, no cream crackers leftover, hooray!!

Vinegar Fish (Ikan Masak Cuka)

Come lunch time today, the rumblings of my tummy signals fish. The choice of the day then is vinegar fish. This is another of the numerous dishes that my late grandmother used to cook, crispy fried fish in yellow tangy sweet, sour and spicy sauce. With fingers crossed that the mackerel found here is not vastly different from the spanish mackerel from home, into the car I jumped and off to purchase my fish.

The verdict, the mackerel worked perfectly fine and the lunch I had was comfortingly filled with memories of my late grandmother.
