Call the caterers!

We're having an old friend with his new girlfriend over this weekend.
I've just made a HUGE meringue so we'll have pavlova for pud.
Will probs roast a chicken with lemon and garlic, roasted new spuds, fruity curried cous cous, roasted beetroot, lots of nice salady stuff and some warm ciabata.
Made a couple of batches of Limoncello yesterday.

Hope you guys have a lovely meal, Piskie, give that lickle bean a big huggle from me!

[HeyWayne]

I'm hoping piskie's not getting her hopes up too much - some fantastic suggestions going on here! Some a bit beyond my skills.

You made your own Limoncello? I amazed and impressed - what's your receipe and is it in the receipe section on here?

I've got my mother over on Saturday night, and I'm planning to cook:

Grilled Scallops with Peanut Nahm Jim
or
Deep fried monkfish with chili sauce (depends on the quality of scallops at fishmonger on Saturday)

Beef Rendang

Black sesame ice cream (in ice cream maker) and caramel bananas


She likes a bit of South East Asian food, does my mother. Bit of a wine challenge though...other than gewurtztramminer, a bit clueless.


I bet whatever you do, it'll go down a storm. Have a cracking evening!

Pea and pesto soup - very easy and always delicious.

Pea and pesto soup - Times Online

add a chicken stock cube to the water prior to adding the peas, leave the spring onions in and blend them. (you can replace these with a leek if you prefer)

season well, add lemon juice and a dribble of single cream to make it richer and velvety.

then i'd follow up with some kind of homemade cassorole using wonderful pork shoulder steaks in chunks (dead cheap too) , red wine 1/2 a bottle, 2 pts or chicken stock, 4 potatos (sliced and layered on top or as mash) , 2 cans of tomatoes, 2x garlic, 2xonions, 4xcarrots, 1/2 red cabbage. chuck it al in a dish season well and cook in a low (140 C) oven for 3-4 hours. the meat should break with a spoon. (add 100g of chedder cheese and stir if you want more of a goulash flavour) serve with greens.

pudding - carribean apples

dice apples and add 2 handful or raisins. Add 75-150ml of rum/brandy sprinkle with brown sugar and cook in the microwave with a tight fitting lid until the apples have gone soft 5-10mins,
serve with ice cream or cream/creme freche.

Total prep time less than 30 mins. cooking time approx 4hours for cassorole, 20 mins for soup and 15 mins for the pudding.

Dinner is done

[Chillimad]

Would have to be Chili chicken and noodles I am afraid

Are you available on Sunday afternoon?

[Glutton4...]

So, piskie and SD are coming for dinner on Sunday - I think I know what I'm cooking, but what would you do?

I'd find out their favourite food, then do what I always do - leave it to Chef!

(I'll hire him out for a fee )


Sure you'll have a fab time anyway - you'll spend so much time chatting and cuddling Bean, that it won't matter!

[piskieinboots]

well now - me and little Hayden are like that


he grabbed my tee-shirt (several times!) and exposed my erm top stuff - then he did sick stuff down my shoulder - then he did Jerusalem Artichokes on my leg - I could be in love

Lady Wayne is top notch lovely lady, Wayne was Wayne - described by Snowdrop as 'cracking bloke, invite him over'.

Food was superb, really lovely time

[zazen999]
