It was my birthday on Saturday and my gorgeous Hubby spoilt me rotten. My day started with breakfast in bed, my favourite french toast with figs, very indulgent I know but hey, it was my birthday. I had a lazy morning opening presents & cards, then got ready to get our train to town.
 
Hubby had booked us tickets to the afternoon performance of Priscilla Queen of the Desert and it was fantastic. I laughed so much and it is so over the top camp you can’t help but have a ball, I would definitely go again. We then popped to Harrods as I needed a dress for a black tie event we are attending and then off to Carluccios for dinner, heaven. At Carluccios we shared a Antipasto Massimo and then I had OssoBuco alla Milanese and of course a bottle of Prosecco and Limoncello’s.
 
Well once home, another bottle of Prosecco was opened so by Sunday I was in need of some comfort food. Sunday dinner was soothing roast chicken, savoy cabbage and roast potatoes with feta, all very restorative.
 
I must add one more thing here, thank you Hubby for your fear of heights. When we arrived at the theatre our seats were in the heavens, Hubby took one look, went white and went and got us upgraded to the best seats in the house. So even phobias can be of use sometimes.
 
Boun appetito.
Serves 4
 
1kg potatoes, peeled and cut in half
sea salt and freshly ground pepper
3 tablespoons chopped rosemary
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
50g Greek feta, crumbled
 
Preheat the oven to 180c
 
Place the potatoes in a saucepan of salted boiling water and simmer for 10 – 15 minutes until they are slightly soft. Drain and place in a baking dish. Use a fork to break them up a little into rustic shapes.
 
Sprinkle with salt, pepper and the rosemary and drizzle with the olive oil. Bake for 30 – 35 minutes or until golden brown, turning them occasionally so they cook evenly. About 10 minutes before the have finished cooking, scatter on the crumbled feta. Serve hot.
 
I added about three times the amount that the recipe states of feta, as we all love it in our house and served the potatoes with savoy cabbage and roast chicken. Just what I needed.
