This institutional place is located in an unassuming brick hut near the S.S. Great Britain. I had a bacon and egg in a roll. Bread is hearty and the runny egg yolk dripped onto my fingers (the drippy egg yolk is apparently how the sandwich gets the egg banjo moniker). The coffee is made in […]

Spaghetti Alfredo
Based on Nigella’s recipe. I made this in a rice cooker. New posts from my backlog of pics will be made soon!
