Wink . Saturday evening meals.

Just what have you had ? For starters,I'll kick it off .Cooked a Turkey leg  E/3.20.(from France Intermarche) in the AGA for 55/60 Min in the top oven middle shelf..Already had a large potatoe (a Frites variety  Maro) in for 60 Min,they give a lovely crispy
crunchy skin,a dish of Lidle peas in the bottom oven .For dessert a ripe French Brie spread on Jacobs Choice grain crackers,with a glass of Taylors 10 Yr late bottled Port,followed with a double espresso black 'Lavassa'coffee and a glass of 'Torres 10' brandy.Hmmm.
Saturday nights,a little different from weekdays Eh ??!! Oh yes ,,,i had a very good mentor as my late Wife was a gourmet cook with over 300 cookery books and personal recipes .!!Laughing.

    Sounds like a decent meal...and drinks (!!) Triky! I can't compete with that..a vegetable and bean chilli with boiled rice; a yoghurt and a cup of tea for us. A glass of wine shortly!

    Cold day today so the diners requested "Give us a bash at the Bangers and Mash me mother used to make" so that's what we had. Unusually for us we had pudding or dessert if you're posh. I'd cooked down a couple of Bramley apples with a slug of Remy Martins best and added a good dollop of mincemeat then cooled it overnight and had it with yoghurt and honey. Washed down with an inexpensive but tasty Merlot. 

    There's a Cumberland sausage left over and I think I might just go and give it a cuddle.

    We broke with the our Bonfire Night tradition of bangers and baked potatoes and had some M&S Moroccan style chicken with rice we'd saved in the freezer from a home made curry...followed by a banana (for me) a glass of vino plonko for OH and some fresh coffee. Slightly better tomorrow as going to a local pub for a late lunch with live band including fiddle playing by adult child. Happy

    Leftover vegetable soup from dinner (lunch) - made with all the veg left in the bottom of the fridge.

    Followed by vol au vents filled with leftover spicy prawn rice.

    More than one glass of G&T. In this instance - Brecon Gin. About twenty in the cupboard to choose from.

    I cook main meals for farm workers during the week, plus our suppers, so at weekend I try to not bother too much. Unless of course we have visitors.
