I have a kitchen torch that I use for brulee or meringue type things. When we roast peppers or similar size jobs, Craig takes them outside and uses a plumber's torch that he also uses to light charcoal.

When I was nowt but a toddler (and probably many years before that) my dear old Mum used to light the coal fire with what she called "paper chips". We don't have home fires here but I still use these to assist in lighting the charcoal in the barbecue.

I used to have one but I broke it!

Guess used it for 60 minutes?

Preparations are underway, the coals are starting to do their stuff.

Duck marinated with shaohsing rice wine and soy sauce, with a plum sauce (plums, caster sugar, white wine vinegar, simmered and reduced, with a little lime juice and coriander), a salad with orange pieces and toasted hazelnuts, and an olive oil, sherry vinegar, orange juice and honey dressing, and new potatoes.

Last night, after a couple or 3 Moscow Mules, I figured having dinner would be a good idea.
I did not want to take anything out of the freezer. Rummaged in the fridge. I had these unusual English Muffins. I ordered a package for pick up allowing substitutions thinking I would just get a different brand. I got this instead.

I also had creamed spinach left over from dinner Wednesday. Really wanted Prosiutto or other ham - bacon only. Plenty of eggs, butter, cream, wine and lemon juice for a Beurre Blanc sauce. No artichoke bottoms except in oil.
If Eggs Benedict and Eggs Sardou had a baby and the baby had a genetic abnormality this would be it.

I've seen those muffins before. They are pricey but supposedly very healthy.

Very clever creation!

The taste and texture was a little unusual. There are some left. After I use those I will stick to regular English Muffins.

 

[JAS_OH1]

Yes, I imagine they were dense. I prefer the less healthy variety myself.

I saw recipes online to make English muffins. Maybe I'll give it a try this week. I also saw one for bagels.

Steak ( medium) , curried veg & roasted potatoes. It's wonky shaped but I always give the best of anything to my husband.

Those chips look perfect! I will never forget my first chips in Holland {Ijmuiden), I asked for vinegar and they looked at me like I was insane!

By coincidence, shrimp and scallops are on my short list for dinner. I'm thinking pasta with it, though.

We buy Warbertons muffins. Good flavour and texture.
