We all went out yesterday to the Museum of Science and Industry, and we spent about three and a half hours, leisurely walking around. We started with a pic nic in a lovely little garden next to the museum called St Johns Gardens, a well kept and lovely little place, it was hard to think you were in the centre of Manchester. After our pic nic we met up with Tom and Grace and slothed our way through the museum. Benjamin loved all the Trains and Aeroplanes, and when we went to see the old sewer system and the other exhibits about waste and recycling, he said that it was 'Spooky' after checking out the old station house we went into the main building and looked around the bottom floor before venturing into the experiment floor.
The cafe is a little expensive but that's what you would expect from it. After walking around a little we got the train home. Tom wanted a model to build so we then drove to Bolton. Benjamin finally fell asleep on the return journey after his chips.
That was Saturday, today, I am meeting Sam again, we have been meeting every Sunday and cooking together. Today we are tackling Racks of Lamb. I'll hopefully get some pictures of the finished article later. I have been searching for a few recipes this morning although I have an idea of what I want to do I just want to see if something catches my eye. This youtube video did, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vT16XNJKUXI&feature=related My god, this is what you shouldn't do with a good rack of lamb. No seasoning, bad crust mixture, no time for the meat to rest. No proper scoring... I could go on.
I'll update with pictures soon,
Take Care
