Roasted glazed smoked ham hock, roast fennel, braised cabbage with apple, sage and butter sautéed potaoto with onion puree....
31 years married!! WTF? Andy has a broken ankle. I have to stoke the fire, bring in the firewood, do all the man jobs. The poor guy, he’s so sore but no complaints from him whatsoever even though it’s so frigging frustrating.
All we were doing is doing our best. We went out for a run, decided it was way too icy and to come back from the top of the village as carefully as we could.
We were literally 50m from home when Andy skidded, his leg went under him, it was a bad skid. Initially I thought he had a compound fracture to his knee because it was badly grazed and he had taken a huge hit and his whole leg had twisted all over the place in front of me.
Andy is a trooper, that’s a fact. He has 2 breaks in his ankle. But it could have been a shit load worse.
We had a good anniversary, if somewhat odd given we were supposed to be in Giethoorn in the “Water Villa” I’d booked but had to defer. I don’t give a f..k about a water villa, all I want is for Andy to be OK.
I love my man. He is my true partner in life. I have no words on that.
What I will say is that the ham hock was a little rich. But it tasted good. The fennel, apple with sage, potato and onion puree were delicious. The hock was cooked until melting. But for us, far too rich.
We had a fun day and an awesome night, looking back on our history and thinking of my wee Nana who was born on the same day as our wedding anniversary.
