Actually felt like I have some haring some adventures in air frying worth sharing for the first time in forever, so tonight's supper, a pork loin steak from Waitrose in some of their paprika and blended chili butter with fries.

Excellent night to wrap up a rather good dat, flat iron steak and a caramel blondie with ice cream that made me want to do a little happy dance as I left the restaurant followed by two fine old fashioneds.

Did though pop to The St Peter's Tavern earlier, a splendid old Church conversion job run by a local pub co. Good pint of Neptune's Mako hazy pale ale too. Also beery reflection, but there's a lot of cask Ossett about.
