Tonight’s meal was easy to cook. It had two kinds of lettuce, Gem and Flat Leaf. Pretty much everything was cooked in a pan. New potatoes, peas, green beans, some herbs. The sauce was white wine and some ham stock, and the radishes turned it a nice pink colour to compliment the ham. The sliced ham I bought this morning from the butchers, ready cooked, this morning. The recipe called for roast ham but they only had boiled, but I don’t think it made that much difference.

It was a nice healthy evening meal. It wasn’t too heavy, and the sweet wine sauce went well with the ham and made it really juicy. I should have really put more of the flat leaf lettuce in; it reduced like spinach really fast and so there wasn’t that much in the end product.
