Very civilised, but you need some decent wine glasses (large goblets), befitting of the fine wines you enjoy!

Demz are for the plebs pouring in their vin ordinaire....;)

Marco.

Chicken risotto (using long grain, rather than arborio rice).

with the 2016 Chateau Dasvin-Bel-Air, Haut Médoc.


Lemon yogurt for dessert

And since we had been enjoying some splendid weather for the last couple of weeks - a salad:

Enjoyed with a chilled Pinot Grigot (bought from Sainsburys, but I can't remeber the exact details - save it was decent enough).

Yo Granty, did you like my icey-creamy?:eyebrows:

Indeed. Nicely made. I prefer a compote to sauce overall but that sauce looked rather fine

I am trying to lose a little weight, lost 9 lbs since the cruise but I've hit a plateau (made of chips)

Yeah, I also probably prefer a compote, and just a bit more texture to the sauce (as all the fruit bits and seeds were sieved out), but the resulting liquid was really tasty and very fruity! The main point I wanted to highlight in the picture though, was how I think ice-cream [any flavour of such] should look!

You didn't reply to my question of if you remembered the superior product served in ice-cream vans before the invention of 'Mr Whippy', or what you thought of the latter in comparison?:)

Lol - good stuff. Your portion sizes, dude, were defo way too high - and that was always bound to end up biting you on the bum... Hope you can continue the good work in that respect, but most importantly still enjoy your food!:cool:

Sure, real ice cream is getting hard to get now. I can eat Mr whippy but whatever it is, its not ice cream.
I used to make my own. Had a machine to do it with and it worked great. (daughter has it now and used it a week or so actually)
