Lamb loin chops, bulgar wheat salad, roast plum and almond cake

At home:

Lamb loin chops. Seasoned with salt, pepper, olive oil. That's it. Moderate grill to get the fat nicely cooked, and pink but not raw in the middle. Amazingly tasty.

Bulgar wheat salad: bulgar wheat is so fragrant i don't understand why anyone uses couscous for this kind of thing. Add -
 - copious amounts chopped parsley
 - spinach
 - rocket
 - tomatoes
 - avocados
 - lemon juice
 - plenty seasoning

Serve with juicy salty lamb.

Cake:
Got some English green-fleshed plums. Tart and fragrant. Nicely in season.
Roast plums with a little butter, brown sugar.
Mix up sponge with mostly ground almond in place of flour.
Add cooled roasted plums. Bake.
Sumptuous. Fruit still retains some acidity alongside smooth cake texture and sweetness, accentuated by gentle crust on top.

Happy with that for a Thursday night.
