What are you having for dinner tonight?

[merciasounds]

I'm at the farm in Devon, we had a leg of lamb and a rib of beef for lunch yesterday, so with the left over potato and greens I made bubble and squeak to go with the sausages and bacon, mushrooms and tomatoes for Brunch.
Tonight, as my father can't eat anything too spicy, we are having a roasted loin of pork covered in pancetta and fresh sage leaves, served with a creamy apple-brandy and peppercorn sauce. Veg include new potatoes, and cheesy leek and courgette bake. Vgetable and pasta bake for the two vegetarians, and for pud there are three options, the last of yesterday's apple pie with cinnamon ice cream, a fresh cream raspberry trifle or somethinga bit different I'm trying out, a Bailey's hazelnut liqueuer cheesecake, made with a chocolate biscuit base spread lightly with Nutella, then the cheesecake mixture the topped with chopped nuts and chocolate shapes.

IM having redhelens main course if I can jimmy the window lockl

[ummmm]

I'm having roast duck. Was suppose to have it yesterday but we had a late lunch and wasn't hungry enough.

Not sure on the veg and sauce yet...

[merciasounds]

Nothing sinister redhelen! I just wondered that's all, coz it's not really the season for Lobster, langoustines, crevettes etc

[ummmm]

I bought some fresh langoustines from Morrisons last week.

We've got chicken biryani with rice and naan bread - excellent way to use up the remains of a big chicken.

[merciasounds]

Made up my mind. It's going to be duck with orange sauce, roast potatoes, carrots and fine beans...

And I will not be taking the left overs away with me!!!

Wait til B00 sees this......lol

[bednobs]

do adopted kids eat more or something?

[ummmm]

lol bednobs...

[bednobs]

well i kind of wondered what the point in mentioning they were adopted was? does it have an affect on how much one eats? ie "How many people were you cooking for?" "10, but as 4 of them were adopted, it was more like 26"

[pastafreak]

Lol......
