What's On The Menu Later?

[LadyCG]

We're having paella with a surfeit of seafood. I'm not sure I have the appetite but I've defrosted it all now. We will have a toast to OH's granddad who passed away this morning, bless him.

What's amusing your bouche tonight then?

[Bobbisox1]

Not a fish lover ,prawns and cod , must be well done , that’s about it

[LadyCG]

A bonus hole, eh, Tilly?

[rowanwitch]

Not really that hungry, so something and salad... Got some m &s rare roast beef, that might be nice, and a pile of melon and berries to use up. Bit too caught up in my current project , never eat much when I am busy

[LadyCG]

I love the sound of the rare beef and the melon, Rowan.

[rowanwitch]

Positively healthy, maybe mix up some horseradish and beetroot mayo, got that from the half polish ex, along with apple,potato, beetroot and gherkin salad, got some pink picked onion slices too...

I have just had fish fingers with peas and potatoes and cake and cream for a pudding.

[LadyCG]

That's more or less what the little has had, William. He's clearly not in the mood for peas today because it's taking an inordinately long time to get them down him.

[LadyCG]

I do like those Polish things, Rowan. Happily I will be going to Poland in just over two weeks' time.

Pea'd off you might say.

Can I have your crispy caramelised rice at the bottom of the Paella pan please LadyCG. The Spanish fight for that like a Turkey carver claims his right for the parson's nose .I was supposed to do one this weekend as it is my signature dish but keep forgetting all the frozen seafood and chicken out the freezer to defrost. The Spanish have a name for the crispy rice at the bottom.

[retrocop]

arroz crujiente is crunchy rice

[LadyCG]

I guard my crispy bottom with my life, Retro ;)

[LadyCG]

Arroz meloso is the soggy rice - it's quite moist where most are quite dry.

[10ClarionSt]

Baked Beans Flambe on flambe'd toast. Big time! :o)

[10ClarionSt]

Or should that be flambe'd bread?

[douglas9401]

The Malbec is Argentinian, from Aldi, full bodied, warming and paired with a cheeky Red Leicester and oatcakes.

Reflux report tomorrow. :-)

[retrocop]

Soccarat is the Spanish name for the crispy burnt rice at the bottom of the paella pan. Delicious.
