Some great nosh, as usual, chaps. Roy-boy, that place looks a bit special - love every course! Andre, your tuna/pasta bake looked well made and really tasty. Granty, did you make the spaghetti and meatballs? If so, that looked great:)

Barry, hope you enjoy your Valentines meal. Give my best regards to Happy!

We've stopped going out now on Valentines, as we feel the prices charged are a bit of a rip-off, much like eating out on Christmas Day, and often the food is disappointing, so now we just stay in, light a few candles, snuggle up beside the log fire and open a nice bottle of red and some fizz, to enjoy with a good cheeseboard/bread, pickles and crackers...

Cheeses included: Taleggio, Welsh Slate Cavern Aged Cheddar, Brie de Meaux, Shropshire Blue, Danish Blue, Doux de Montagne and Norwegian Jarlsberg.

Didnt make the meatballs. They were a veg/meat mix i bought. A bit tasteless tbh but i used passata i had left over from the pizza the other day to improve things luckily, so used that and added herbs for sauce. A bit of cheese etc.
Veg was a bag of mixed steam veg from tesco fresh stuff. Was good .

marinading a fillet steak today. not done this for a good while.. A bit of rye, ginger, lemon, soy, splash of red wine, angostura, brown cane sugar and some herbs/garlic.

Small potatoes hardish, skins left on, cut up & boiled just soft enough . Break em with a fork not a masher, they need to be unlike standard mash. I just put an Egg Yolk in & some Salt & Pepper. Nothing else.

Good stuff, sounds tasty:)
