Roast Cod. A simple and great meal


Roast cod has become a popular dish in restaurants over the last ten years. Yet somehow does not often find its way to the dining room table. There seems an erroneous belief that it is an expensive fish. This may not be true. Two portions of cod generously sized cost only £4 even in Waitrose not known for its discounted prices. 

A good example of a recipe would be to place the cod in a baking tray and cover with a seasoning such as creole . A moderately spicy yet not overpowering taste. Roasted vegetables with a small amount of oil can be added in the same tray. To complete the meal a green salad with balsamic makes a quick easy and healthy dinner.

Street Art In Ljubljana. An Exciting City


Ljubljana is Slovenia’s capital and largest city. It’s known for its university population and green spaces, including expansive Tivoli Park. The curving Ljubljanica River, lined by outdoor cafes, divides the city’s old town from its commercial hub. Ljubljana also has many museums, including the National Museum of Slovenia.

What however is less well known is the street art that covers walls in many parts of the city.  Here is a selection of some of the variety you can see, all from the city centre. Some are works of art whilst some border almost on the graffiti border. Would you want a half eaten fox on the wall of your restaurant?

Cannot make up my mind if this half eaten fox is a good thing to see against the wall of a restaurant?
