Then roast leg of lamb spiked with garlic, with red wine gravy, roast spuds & parsnips, spiced red cabbage & apple, yellow carrots & peas.
For pud butterscotch cake with creme fraiche & ice cream (either or both, but they will all go for both I bet!)

Champagne for apéros, an Alsace Riesling with the mackerel, a Beaujolais with the lamb and a Bergerac Rosette with the pud. Hic.

That's not a normal Monday night supper for us I hasten to add, and I'm not just doing it for the two of us!
Now that made my mouth water, can I come to dinner?

    Love moules, mariniere classique or with coconut milk & coriander à la Madhur Jaffrey. With frites of course!

    I used to love making moules marinière, but I haven’t been able to eat them for about 10 years.

    Re-heated beef stew I made in the Crockpot the other day, not that Fran will eat much of it, she seems to be a reformed carnivore these days and what she leaves usually ends up the next day inside me, or the dogs. :lol:

    But I might add a few steamed vegetables to it. :)
