Our first home-cooked meal

After a successful first trip to the Parliament Hill Farmers' Market, we were pretty psyched about pulling it all together for our first home-cooked meal in London.  Becca tends to provide the creativity in our meals, so I left the menu planning in her able hands.  Here's what she came up with:

On the left are broad beans sautéed in butter with shallots and garlic.  On the right, broiled (or, as the British say, grilled) potatoes - note the Isle of Wight ketchup.  All washed down with Tuborg.  This was our first time cooking broad beans, and they may have benefited from some parboiling.  But still, it's hard to go wrong when you have shallots sautéed in butter, isn't it?

Not a bad accompaniment to the third-place Germany-Uruguay game.  Speaking of which, that Diego Forlán is something else, isn't he?
