A Question For You Gourmets, This Friday Evening.....

[DTCwordfan]

As above.

Take one round of golf over 18 holes of a relative mountain goat course...rather beautiful, though it left me bushed.

Then in nungate land, farm duck breast, sautéed for 3 mins a side, 10 minutes rest, sliced and mixed with shallots and cherry toms that have also been sliced off, a smidge of rosemary, plenty of black pepper and into fresh pasta, along with a green blé salad, blé, touch of rocket, watercress and rocket, a home-made dressing of Scots honey mustard, maple syrup, basalmic and the a reasonable olive oil with chives........the salad also to go with a nice, 'melting, Somerset brie, ash goats cheese from Moody's, dolce gorgonzola and Saint Vernier, a wine washed cheese, the question is what dessert should I think about?

I have my ideas, the best answer to that appeals most...........no bananas though, as Lady J also endorses and many know.

The wine a bottle of organic Terra Viva Merlot, from Waitrose Morningside, and very 'soft'.

Look forward to the responses.

[DTCwordfan]

Don't know that one, nungate. How 'soft' is it?....the Lagavulin is one of my W Coast favs....then Scapa for the northern islands and a Tomatin for the Inverness area.

[nungate]

Don't know it at all DT, never touch the cratur! I just have to recommend it as being local. You could "pop" to the distillery or the Whisky experience in Edinburgh (the shop there sells everything whisky related, so many bottles)

[DTCwordfan]

May do my research and see if there is an outlet here......thanks though, nungate, and for organising yesterday......x

[nungate]

aw shucks 't'weren't nuthin

[tonyav]

mountain goat course...


LOL, where is it DT.

[DTCwordfan]

It's on the coast but, jeez, is it up and down and a strain on the old pegs!

Some lovely holes though.

Is that a Green on that ledge, DT ?.

[Psybbo]

Time you played Royal Portrush, DTC

[DTCwordfan]

yep.....and you can hardly see it from the tee; the next hole starts with a blind drive, the sea on one side, crap on the other.

[DTCwordfan]

Would love to......one of those on my list!

[mazie]

Why did you want us to suggest desserts if it was only a whisky you were after?

:o( I've made ice cream now

[Psybbo]

Free bed and board DTC x

[DTCwordfan]

as the evening progresses, mazie.... apples to tarte-tatin to calva and it's then a short jump to whisky......however, an ice cream, well.

You'll enjoy meeting nungate.

[DTCwordfan]

thanks, psybbs......one of these days..x

Heard about any disasters/incidents/and general mayhem, south of the border as to one certain ABer....?

[Psybbo]

Not sure where she is so just keeping an eye on the news to see if a mad Irish woman appears anywhere

[DTCwordfan]

for tony......one where I actually split the fairway, maybe the surrounds focused me.

If it doesn't show, look at 14 and 18.....

[mazie]

I think I should stick to Q&P

[DTCwordfan]

lol, mazie....

[tonyav]

Like the look of the 18th DT ( elevated tee ) the 14th looks a barsteward of an hole !.

mazie, got any ice cream going spare ?.
