Eating Tonight

Oh Goody...

Winter Ratatouille with penne and homemade seeded bread
followed by
Individual Toffee Apple Puddings and custard


The puddings are new to me, Could have made one large one but individual portions in little metal cups look cute.
A vegetable suet pastry holds chopped Bramley apples, demerara sugar and a little lemon juice then lid goes on and is baked for 20 minutes. Remove from oven brush with golden syrup and scatter with demerara sugar
and continue baking for a further 20 minutes.

I'll post a pic providing they don't explode.


Made some good stuffing yesterday.
Sage onion and apple. Very moist and perfect with the chicken of course. Roasted potatoes, parsnip and carrot and a few peas. A luscious milk gravy poured over succulent chickenmeat is just too good for words.

No dessert.

On Saturday Mr Horsehound and myself were the guests of Mr and Mrs Nof at Simpsons- in- the- Strand.

Mr Horsehound chose pork for his mains, Mr Nof, a steak and kidney pie, and Mrs Nof and and I plumped for the calves liver.
Mashed potatoes to die for. Onion marmalade likewise. For pudding Spotted Dick, a chocolate and berry mousse, treacle sponge finished off a spectacular meal.
We chose mineral water instead of wine and tea and coffee for later.
Marvellous surroundings and lovely company.
Thank You Mr and Mrs Nof x
