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?

[Arksided]

Hi LadyC, on the go as I type... Minced Beef with Onion and leeks in Gravy, with plenty of buttered mash. Using up stuff fresh monthly delivery next Thursday.

[LadyCG]

Hi there, Arky. That sounds very nice. Savoury mince is a popular thing in this house, usually in the form of cottage pie. Will you have a beer or two to accompany?

[Arksided]

No not this evening, a few days off.
I Usually make a Cottage pie with anything left over, a little spicy, Coarse Black pepper, Garlic and dash of soy sauce.

[Arksided]

Sorry for you loss LadyC.

Having Hunters chicken with salad , a glass of Malbec as I don’t like white wine , it gives me heartburn, H chicken is from our local butchers, it’s delicious

[LadyCG]

It's nice to put your own stamp on dishes - it feels more homemade then. I always use a dash or Worcester Sauce in mine.

Thanks. We knew it was going to happen as he'd gone downhill rapidly. He had a good innings.

[LadyCG]

Hunters chicken is lovely. If we go for pub food that is often a favourite choice of mine.

I like a Malbec or perhaps a Zinfandel but one red wine is my limit (I find it quite filling) and two white wines is the max I can tolerate. Acid reflux gets me if I exceed that.

[Bobbisox1]

Just the one glass for me , anything more and I’d be in bed at 8pm

[rockyracoon]

BBQ ribs, coleslaw, salad and big, fat croutons in Chez Racoon.

[LadyCG]

Wotcher, RR. That sounds lovely. My OH will be banging on your door if I tell him what you're having ;)

[douglas9401]

Not had Malbec for ages, that's on the list for tonight now.
Spicy mackerel on toast maybe, we're having a big old dinner tomorrow to get some use out of our new fancy schmancy Skovby table.
Drink will be taken then too. :-)

Condolences to you. Tonight we fancied home made burgers, so I've made some using beef, pork & chorizo. Will have chips & salad.

[LadyCG]

I do like mackerel on toast with a squeeze of balsamic and some white pepper.

The Barefoot Malbec is quite nice. We had a glass of Dark Horse Cabernet Sauvignon last night - or rather I had a glass and OH finished off the bottle.

[Bobbisox1]

Must try that Lcg , not the mackerel though,bleughhh

[LadyCG]

Thank, Sharon.

I haven't actually made my own burgers for years. I usually have the Wagyu ones from Aldi or the Ultimate ones from M&S, depending on where we shop. I really should have another bash at doing my own - might poke a hole in and stuff some blue cheese inside :-)

[LadyCG]

Oh Mackerel is lovely, Bobbi, and so good for you.

I am really looking forward to some fresh whitebait by the seaside in a few weeks' time.

[-SharonA-]

Now there's a thought. Cheese in the burgers, I must poke some in!!!

[LadyCG]

Don't tell Tom9348 or he might poke something in too.

[douglas9401]

Is that the bloke with the Virgin Wines account?

[Tilly2]

Blue cheese in the poked hole would be a bonus!
