Haloumi cheese

I really love haloumi cheese. It is like a vegetarian good quality steak-tasty quick and easy to prepare. I find myself buying it every week. The problem with our husband induced almost meat free diet is that vege food it more time consuming. This is when haloumi comes in. I also like quorn products but they are not really food, the fact that they are a product says a lot.

Haloumi in a tossed salad with roasted mixed vegetables is lovely and quick.

Things I have learnt this week.

1. I had to replace a composite kitchen top that had cracked. Composite tops are thicker and more long lasting than laminate but ultimately they are still a layer of stuff on top of ply wood. Sort of like quorn not the real thing. Last week I ended up driving around local builders merchants with a very patient builder looking at kitchen work tops. I was able to get solid wood for less than composite. I know it will stain and scratch but I think this is supposed to happen and is fine by me.

2. Splash a little balsamic vinegar on salmon fillets while they are cooking-wonderful.
