AlanHo Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 There are 8 of us going to an Indian restaurant tonight. It is not Licensed so we have to take our own. If they try and charge corkage I will threaten to stick my bottle where the sun don't shine. I'm not one to curry favour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted December 26, 2018 Report Share Posted December 26, 2018 Yesterday was a beef Wellington made with the beef fillet given as a present. Today is steak & chips with some of the remains of the beef. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 Today was what used to be referred to as "Cold Collation", ie slices of turkey and ham from previous meals served with chips and salad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Missed yesterday - it was beef & onion sandwiches with mustard. Finished the beef fillet now. Today is macaroni cheese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Sweet & Sour King Prawns yesterday. Today is fish but we haven't obtained it yet. No decent fish available. There is a piece of celeriac in the fridge so I'll do celeriac soup with bacon bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 I trust you removed the digestive tract veins in the prawns before cooking them. I never buy the pink pre cooked prawns because they are rarely de-veined and never eat shrimp or prawns in a restaurant for the same reason.. Prawns being bottom feeder eat the undesirable stuff off the river or sea bed which is what the black vein in the prawn is full of. Yuk Yuk and triple Yuk.

-pops- Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Yes, Alan, I'm always very careful about removing 'undesirable' bits from shellfish and, like you, do not buy them pre-cooked or have them in a restaurant. When I was more active and able, I used to go down to Chichester or Brighton and buy live shrimps and prawns (sometimes even lobsters) and cook them myself. They always tasted much better than the pre-done ones. Today is meatballs in a mushroom sauce with couscous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have given up on casseroles and saucepan stews. We used to have a slow cooker but it got wrecked during a house move 7 years ago. I decided to replace it with a modern one 6 months ago. It is far better than the previous one and so much easier to clean with the non-stick lining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
