According to the date of the photo I made this several months ago, in March to be exact.  I know it was utterly delicious, so the photo was thus placed in the “To be blogged at a later date when I have time” file.  Usually, unless I blog within 2 days of making something, the odds of the photo making its way from my laptop to the internet are very slim, but the person that I made this for reminded me the other day how she had enjoyed it, promoting me to act upon my original intention to write about it.
Use the bestest, freshest, creamiest buffalo Mozzarella you can buy, mine came from a wonderful Italian deli opposite Hammersmith (Circle line) Underground Station.

This recipe looks fab and I often take pictures of my food and prep which sit on my laptop for ages. They can be very useful for creating new ideas for blogpots. Phil

I’m a huge fan of mozzarella, but i do like the idea of marinating it. One I will certainly try.
