Is it too early

....for a drink immo? Fuck it, been cycling and someone's given me a bottle of wine to give my opinion on. If anyone else has alcohol they'd like my opinion on, feel free to forward it. Can't be doing with a hangover and depression today anyway, that can wait until tomorrow.

Cheers all.

Not a devotee of white wine, but it's alright, they can give me more if they wish.

First red of the day in my hand old bean

First weekend of Toots' holidays.

She requested the full 3-courser 'special occasion' job

(Just after she asked me to fill her wine glass and look slippy about it. )

Menu

Seared Scallops in crispy dry-cured bacon served on a bed of leaves with a choice of peach, coriander and chilli salsa or creamy home-made coleslaw.

3-hour braised lamb shanks in Merlot with carrot leek and dumplings, new Ayshires and cabbage.

(And loadsa gravy natch )

Sticky Toffee Puddin and cream.

Will report back with the results of the jury later

In the meantime...

Cheerio then

Fuck, white sauce for the broccoli is the limit of my ambition after an 11:30 start.

Toots was effusive in her praise.

At one point she was moved enough to look up from her magazine and; with a full, trembling inch of ash on her Marlboro Light, say ...

"That wiz awright"


I tellya...


... it made the four hours of prep for the big, smoochy, top-drawer lovingly-prepared meal seem....
































































...well ....









...a bit of a waste of effort to be honest.






Still...




It was after that I realised...
