蜜醬烤肉伴涼麵 Honey Sauce Roasted Pork with Ramen

雨，像不速之客，說來就來。

前天中午，衣服還在晾衣線上掛著，驟雨就隨烏雲趕到。

幾天來的暑氣翳悶，一下子洗滌淨盡。空氣中有說不出的清新氣息。

Rain, is like an unexpected visitor, it comes without any warnings.

Near noon the other day, the clothes were still pegged on the washing line, when the dark clouds moved in, and sure enough along came the down pour.

After the sudden shower, however the air is a lot cooler and feels more refreshing. 

七月的雨水，可以令人又愛又恨。

英國的夏天才只有那麼兩個月的陽光，暖暖的曬在皮膚上；那乾爽的感覺，足以軀除身心上整個冬季積存下來的寒濕感覺。

We seem to have a love - hate relationship with the July rain; as there are only 2 months of scorching hot sun in a year, the heat can dry up the dampness stored in our body and minds from the winter months.

下厨的時候，室內氣温已大幅度下降。披著薄毛衣，也仍感到手脚有點冰冷。决定煲個上湯，煮些麵，看吃過之後會不會暖起來。

When it was time to cook, the room temperature had dropped quite a lot, and even with a light cardigan,  it still felt rather chilly.  I decided to make a broth, and cook some noodles, in the hope that it would warm us up a little.

冰箱裏有塊前天做菜前割下留起的豬頸肉。就混了些自配的蜜汁醬料把它烤熟，切片；與温著的熱湯上桌佐麵。

There was a fillet of pork in the fridge, which I had cut and saved from a  big piece of pork collar meat the other day. I made a homemade honey roast sauce as a quick marinade to roast the pork, then sliced up and served with the noodles,  as well as the big pot of hot broth which is being kept warm on the table.
