What's On The Menu Tonight?

[LadyCG]

OH is cooking a couple of different Happy Elephant curries which I think he might have purchased in Aldi. Wine TBC.

What's tickling your taste buds this Saturday?

[DTCwordfan]

I cook for myself - and enjoy it...doesn't have to be complicated - such as tonight....

[LadyCG]

Well your menus always sound delightful, DTC.

I am now enjoying a glass of Canyon Springs Old Vine Zinfandel from Lodi, California (courtesy of our local Aldi). Very nice it is too.

I'm just about to start cooking it. :) Stir fry Chinese veg. mix, noodles, oyster & spring onion sauce and Chinese-marinaded pork steaks.

The rump steak with blue cheese butter, roast veg. and chestnut mushrooms is waiting until tomorrow - I'll need restoring after playing for the Remembrance Service (and a renewal of Wedding vows in tragic circumstances shortly afterwards). I should add that I'm not an organist (our lovely lady died last year) but had piano lessons until 1963, so it's always very stressful.

I am not musical in the slightest, Jourdain, but my great grandparents were both incredible Musicians. My great grandfather was a Timpanist but played and taught others to play multiple instruments and was in the Hitchcock film The Man Who Knew Too Much during a very tense scene at the RAH. He can be seen banging the drums. My great grandmother was a pianist.

Your dinner choice for this evening sounds lovely !

Turns out we're having Chinese takeaway !

[LadyCG]

Well fancy that, OG. We haven't had a takeaway in a while.

Well-seasoned offal and barley tube accompanied by freshly fried batons of potato and a mug of Yorkshire tea.

just discovered some spag-bol deep in the freezer - that's supper tomorrow night taken care of!

[LadyCG]

Haggis and chips then, Doug?
Don't spare the broon :)

[douglas9401]

Sussed. :-)

[LadyCG]

You do post in riddles, Doug. Seriously though, do you have brown sauce in Scotland? I'm not a haggis person but I'm pretty sure my dad brought some back from his one and only trip to Scotland many years ago with his now late BIL.

[Barmaid]

We are having beef burgers in buns. I cba with anything else because I've been cooking all day for two Christmas parties. So far 48 mince pies, 30 goats cheese souffles, 48 mini yorkies, 40 odd meringue kisses, 50 or so mini cheese scones, mincemeat, and the fruit soaking for 3 Christmas cakes. Oh and a shed load of pastry for tomorrow.

[LadyCG]

Bust day then, BM? You need wine x

[douglas9401]

Just trying to keep pace with Cornwall, LCG.

Yes, we do have brown sauce as well as paved roads and electricity. x

Doug, I've no doubt you have access to Brown Sauce, I just wondered if it was popular in your neck of the woods. I personally couldn't eat any meat product without it.

[douglas9401]

I'm lucky enough to live between the two great centres of chippy cuisine, one favouring salt and sauce, the other salt and vinegar.

In shops of the latter brown sauce is available TO BUY! as an extra, a luxury if you will. Oddly enough it's not Edinburgh where everything is usually extra.

Ketchup is banned by Police Scotland.
