What's tickling your tastebuds this weekend?

I'm meant to be going out with a colleague tomorrow night for a curry, though she does have a habit of cancelling last minute. I might make a spicy carrot, sweet potato and lentil soup as a back-up.

Sunday will consist of a roast dinner - either leg of lamb or belly pork but the latter would be my choice - with a surfeit of vegetables, crispy roasties and lashings of thick, homemade gravy. If I get my choice, we'll have homemade sausagemeat, apricot and almond stuffing to accompany.

I may have a small glass of wine. I note the Yellow Tail Range is on offer in Tesco and I am particularly fond of the Malbec in that range.

So ... what will tickle (or napalm) your tastebuds this weekend?

Chicken Razala, brinjal Bhaji, pilau rice, maybe naan bread hope we have some onion bhajis to get started with is on the cards for this evening, whether I eat it remains to be seen.

As for the rest of the weekend is anyone's guess.

[albaqwerty]

ach, stuff the house Islay, I go and visit friends not their properties :-)

The kitty has made good work or our bookshelf in the hall, the darling fur-ball :-)

[NoMercy]

Gosh, BM, are you going on holiday? ;-)

Danny, you've just reminded me that I need some porcini mushrooms when I go shopping.

In the meantime, I think I've just cracked a tooth on something in the salad that I've just brought back from the canteen.

[Barmaid]

Yes I am! Didnt I mention it? Ad nauseum, ad infinitum? Damn, must start a(nother) thread about it........

[NoMercy]

I'm really pleased for you, BM. We'll be booking next year's trip to St Ives very shortly, but no foreign holidays here until mini-me is at least 3 years old.

[Islay]

Seriously BM do you continually have to go on about your holiday?
;-)

Tonight we're having salmon fillet with broccoli, dried cranberry and cashew nut salad.
Tomorrow is an m&s Indian £10 meal deal..two mains and three sides, our choice being butter chicken and chicken piri piri along with Bombay aloo, channa masala and an Indian starter selection. I'll also do a small amount of rice and some naan.
Sunday is always make your own from whatever you can find.
I'm very tempted to hop on a bus with Alba and head to Islay though :) I can bring wine..

[NoMercy]

Funnily enough, ethandron, I made a similar salad recently with dried fruits and cashew nuts.

[Islay]

ethandron you would be more than welcome as well, if you could make it Gin i will feed you for the next week!
