Jubilee Monday Dinner/Lunch Thread

[NoMercy]

We're having Leg of lamb with all the trimmings when he gets home this evening. May need to get a damn good red to accompany - any recommendations?

What's on your menu?

NB... Courtesy car should be here this afternoon and other driver has admitted full liability :)

[DTCwordfan]

good to hear about the car, NoM

The ones I recommended last night? Otherwise for something more bog standard, a Nostra Gran Riserva from Chile, a delish Cab Sauv around 8-50 or their Riserva, a Carmenere @ 6-50

There's a couple of e-mails over on alfie by the way as to what we were chatting about......

[NoMercy]

Okay, I'll send you an email back later.

[ummmm]

Ginge has just gone and bought the ingredients for a fry up. That'll probably do us....just snacks later.

I've now test driven the Aldi Ribera del Duero a couple of times - astonishing value for £5.49

Last time I had stirfry I put way too many chillies in it. :(

Dave, I love Ribera del Duero. Does anyone know if the supermarkets are open today?

[DTCwordfan]

for me a pasta melt with chicken and pesto......out for supper later.

This afternoon I'm looking to finish a commission drawing of my local pub that has taken some 10 hours to date, effectively three buildings in one......then its onto the next one, a pretty local church door for a wedding - prints and cards being given by a sister to her brother and future sister-in-law for pressies and thank-you cards...however, the weather forecast is shyte for the rest of the week.

[ummmm]

Not a stir fry...a full English :-)

I won't be having a full English though...I don't have bacon or sausage...

[DTCwordfan]

yes to about 6 - M&S, Sainsbury's, Tesco's, Coop all open here....

Paddywak saw a humungous cauli in the green grocers on saturday and made me cook it yesterday. I don't care what he does with his half but I'm making a cheese sauce for myself to have with mine later, after the pub that is! Have a great day everyone.

I'm having paprika chicken with Jersey Royals later. Had a jacket potato earlier so I may be over-doing it with the potatoes today. Never mind :o)

[sunny-dave]

Jubilee Pork Pies for lunch - my butcher has produced a special set :

Red - with loads of chilli
White - a standard one - sort of very pale grey really
Blue - with added black pudding

Very impressive & should be good with Jersey Royals, home made coleslaw and assorted relishes.

We are having vegetable pizza and salad today.
Cauliflowers are really cheap at the moment. My friend bought a huge one the size of a dinner plate the other day, from a local farm shop. it had been fresh picked that morning and was only 50p.
Ideal for homemade cauliflower cheese to feed all the family! Yum!

[NoMercy]

OOoh ... I know someone who likes cauliflower cheese...

[sunny-dave]

ME !!!

[sunny-dave]

... with brown sauce and chips :+)

[tiggerblue10]

I make cauliflower cheese with sliced potatoes. It's lovely.

[ummmm]

I love cauliflower cheese.

[DTCwordfan]

if it's homemade, yes.....like homemade macaroni (or tagliatelle) and cheese, for that add in some sauteed leeks, panacetta or bacon, cover with cherry toms and bake - oh and some chilli or chipotle pepper in it...........

Go for the Ribera del Duero @ Aldi

Stores are open until 6pm, but whether your local store still has some...

Have a lovely day, NoM. {{HUG}}
