I'm roasting a (small) ham joint and will be serving with a hoisin sauce and some jasmine rice - with a few steamed mange-tout as a green side-dish.
I've got a bottle of Yalumba Viognier in the chiller (although it doesn't need to be too cold) and may even have a glass of amontillado as an aperitif.
I'm teetering on the brink of a course of antibiotics of the "no booze" variety - hoping that I don't need them - but having a good glass tonight, choux, whilst I still can!
Shell-on Argentinian red shrimp pan fried in butter with loads of garlic, chilli and sweet miso. Fine beans added at the end.
Co-op fairtraid Argentinian organic Malbec*
Auto correct kept telling me that should be 'males'... be still my heart. A lounge full of organic Argentinians is enough to take my breath away...
Duck Breast, pan fried with orange & port sauce. Served with baked red cabbage in cider and fondant potatoes. Fresh strawberries and home-made vanilla ice-cream for dessert. Probably a Pinot Noir with the duck and have a cheeky bottle of prosecco -Aldis best of course -for the dessert.
Beef (ribeye), left over from last night, in a green/watercres/cuc salad - home made dressing, the wine a Facon Grabado, a Malbec from Argentina. Raspberries and meringue to follow with a Cornish cream...
I was knackered and starving when I get home from work so we ordered a pizza/wrap/fried chicken takeaway that didn’t arrive (was paying cash so not a biggie). Had to order a curry which didn’t arrive until 9 and the kids were starting to get hangry - all fed and happy now.
