Today, for a minute or so, I was at a
complete loss for an interesting lunch so decided to sort out the fridge a bit
and see if I could be inspired. I was,
almost immediately.
I took out the almost obligatory ham and
pease pudding and behind it was half a pizza base (I have to admit to cheating
here - if I am only having pizza for myself I buy roasted garlic flatbread from
Tesco, cut it in half and this makes two dinner pizzas for me, I do often make my own pizza bases too - promise!) and inspiration
struck...
I spread the base with pease pudding, topped it with sliced ham, baked till crisp and served it with a green salad all drizzled with balsamic glaze. This was so very much deliciouser than I was expecting!
Traditional Geordie Pizza!

Almost every week I cook my real, and
Geordie, man a ham and make pease pudding with the stock, for pease pudding recipe see here, it's very easy and worthwhile!
Whilst my pizza was
cooking I marzipanned our Christmas Cake and then after eating the pizza I sat
down with a cup of coffee and a few marzipan scraps.
After a little while I
went into the kitchen for more marzipan scraps and on my third or fourth visit
for more I decided to gather all the scraps (that were left) and keep them to
make Chewy Marzipan Cookies ~ see here for the recipe,
I don't think you'll regret it!
The ice cream shown in
the picture, sandwiching the cookies so delightfully, was, of course, made in accordance
to my super easy no churn, no ice cream maker recipe which my book Lush Ice Cream without a Machine is all about - in this case I made Cherry Ice Cream, obviously!

pease pudding or mushy peas are also very nice in a hot roast pork sandwich with apple sauce as well!maybe its a northern thing!x
I may be incapable of speech owing to over-salivation at the idea of a) pease pudding & ham pizza; b) marzipan scraps; c) those cookies and d) those cookies with that ice cream.
I only just managed to wipe my chin in time to appreciate your little primroses doing their very best there. It's so lovely to see flowers struggling through the horrid weather. :)
