Goose fat roasted potatoes

One of the things that I love about London grocery stores is that you can find things you normally won't see in Canadian ones, and goose fat is one of them.

Being a committed carnivore, I rarely concern myself with calories, but according to Google, it actually has lower trans fat than butter, definitely a plus.

After going through several recipes online, I arrived at this one from BBC, which seems simple enough and does not require any special ingredients/utensils. 

Incorporating the tips from the comments section (eg boiling the potatoes for longer) and sprinkling it with more garlic and parsley, I ended up with the best tasting roasted potatoes I've ever made or tasted!

Crispy on the outside and thoroughly fluffy on the inside! The added garlic and parsley complements the flavour of the goose fat... this is definitely a keeper.

The comfort that is Mac & Cheese

I have actually never been a big fan of mac & cheese, and that is mostly because the ones I've had were all made with fake neon orange cheddar sauce. They were never too appetizing, and more often than not, too salty or too bland. I have, however, been completely won over by the comfort food of all times after I'd learned how to make the real thing. Like many other dishes, I picked this up because of a guy. Even though the guy might not be around anymore, I guess I'll always have mac&cheese.
