Well, it's cottage pie here in casa Carolina, with cavalo nero, broccoli and gravy. Strawberries and cream for the OH afterwards. I prefer my strawberries in a port and lemonade with a sprig of mint.
What are you culinary heavyweights dishing up today?
I did Sunday Dinner for four last night - excellent Rib Eye steaks from Mr Aldi and all the usual trimmings - even roasted some cherry tomatoes with balsamic/oil dressing. Plus a couple of bottles of Smoking Loon. Am still quite full ...
... so it will be diet crackers and fizzy water chez SD today I think - or at least something not too calorific.
They do, NoM......I stock up when I go to town....but I'm lucky enough to have a nearby farm shop where they offer a great selection of meals for one made by some local ladies.....x
I'm sure we will NoM,the suns shining so we'll have a ride around a bit till we find a likely looking pub and try what they've got on offer.We do it quite often and it's rare we 're disappointed.
Aaaargh - cheap sausages and burgers should be excommunicated - as should anyone who bungs chicken on a BBQ without cooking it through properly first.
Rice 'salad' is another pet hate at BBQs - it can be delicious if made properly - but usually consists of way too much anaemic rice, spiked with a few tasteless veg bits and some tinned sweetcorn - yuk
Roast chicken with the usual sides plus half a bottle of Yearlstone rose sparkling which is in the fridge. It was supposed to be taken to someone`s house at Christmas but has lasted one week on the wine rack. I might have it tonight.
J'adore red and black rice! Mixed up with some quinoa, lentils and other grains they make an excellent Base for a salad. I usually roast up some aubergines and peppers, add some goat's Cheese, pine nuts and sundried toms with some fresh mint and dill.
