We have the boys with us today and seeing as they have Irish heritage it shames me they don’t like a roast dinner. 
 

So I’m marinating a leg on lamb in a yogurt, chickpea, lemon, garlic, rosemary and thyme crust for tomorrow.

Made this for tea tonight and it was fucking amazing, sorry no pics as we just stuffed it in our gobs...

 

 

 

Served it with some seared broccoli with miso dressing.

 

I can't tell you how good it is.

My daughter and her mate have been reading the lemony snicket books and so wanted to cook pasta putanesca, which I'd never heard of.

 

They've absolutely smashed it, honestly.

Bollocks. Strange ladies you've been tasting - unless you've overdone the amount of anchovies.

From Wikipedia

Because puttana means roughly 'whore' or 'prostitute' and puttanesca is an adjective derived from that word, the dish may have been invented in one of many bordellos in the Naples working-class neighbourhood of Quartieri Spagnoli as a quick meal taken between servicing clients.

My link gave 3 or 4 possible origins, all linked to the profession in some way, none quite so "on the nose" as your own.
