The Dtc Cookbook - Latest Offerings

[DTCwordfan]

Lunch @ 12.30 - 1x ham and cheese toastie, nice and fat, with Jerusalem artichokes, some reheated roasties and peas for the mater.

For me on my diet, cold chicken leg, a little Yorkshire Blue, Gorgonzola, a splodge of red pepper hummus and an apple.

2nd attempted lunch suddenly appeared at 2.30 - dogfood, cornflakes, my swede mash (destined for dinner instead of potatoes), chocolate mousse and red pepper hummus.

6.15, starting the cooking for dinner, I discover at the back of the Aga, two chicories - in the dog's bowl, black - having been in there since c.2.15. She doesn't even like chicory and there goes £1-50 out of the window, that for tomorrow's dinner for me.

Cheers, I'm going to open a bottle of wine and, no, it ain't Sainsbury's Longue Dog/

Glad it's all going well, dt :-). Takeaway tomorrow?

[DTCwordfan]

Could be!

Should have asked for some favourite such recipes from others' experiences....

the Cotes du Rhone (Terre Mistral) est ouvert maintenant. Salut.

[Psybbo]

Oh dear, very trying. Home here, mentally a bit bruised x

[Psybbo]

Cheers, hi Pixie, Wolf Blass here :-)

[pixie373]

You ok, sibs? Xx

Dt, marmalade cooks well, if left in the jar. Very, very hot anyway xx

[DTCwordfan]

Hi Psybbs, been to visit have we?

[pixie373]

Hi sibs xx

[DTCwordfan]

lol, pixie

xx to both of you.

[DTCwordfan]

Now there's a meaty wine, Psybbs, the yellow?

[Peaspeculiars]

Blimey DT, what a concoction - maybe time to buy another new dog bowl? Otherwise, hope self & Mater are well? xx

Had a bottle of salsa explode earlier all of the kitchen spice cupboard, so dinner here was 'eventful' too.

[Psybbo]

Yes, the yellow. Fine, thanks, just tired, Yes, every Monday and providing food for 4 days, meanwhile an elderly friend has had bad flu/virus so we've been looking after her too. Pixie, did you hire me?

[pixie373]

Happy to, sibs? Xx
Think the dog bowl needs hiding, or the dog will be on a no-carbs, wine-only diet too...

[DTCwordfan]

a bottle of what went up, peas? Luvverly mess. Yes, there maybe a need to replace dog bowl 2. The spaniel walks around with them in his jaws, a bit like one of those saffron or orange clad Bhuddist monks with their alms boxes.

[DTCwordfan]

the dog could do with it, believe me - he gets totally overfed.

Aya, Psybbs, two to handle, now that is a drain on the energy and emotions.

[Psybbo]

Years ago OH exploded a bottle of tonic in the kitchen, we always said that was why we had a new kitchen put in! I'm thinking of exploding another one.

[pixie373]

Exploding the kitchen? Go for it, if it makes you feel better xx

[DTCwordfan]

Now she has fallen into a deep sleep, just as dinner is up. Tempis.....cheers

[Psybbo]

Dt, no don't give it to the dog.

[Peaspeculiars]

Cheers DT :-) ..and relaaaax...

(dog is probably being protective over bowl going into aga again lol)

[DTCwordfan]

I haven't served hers, try and keep it as fresh as possible....maybe a bucket of carrots?
