    No. Because no one would have taken it that way.

    You lose. Face it.

    Lose what? I wasn't aware of any competition.

    The post was clearly a piss-take, with smileys and jokey language used, as well as me repeating what you had said earlier about respect [intended as a 'ner'], so only a daftee would've taken umbrage!

    Anyway, I think it's probably best if from now on we just stick to discussing the food

    Yeah constant wind up / fun posts always run a danger of being misinterpreted.

    I'm not holding ANY grudges at all though. I know you well enough to judge who you are with reasonable accuracy. And you're an OK chap

    I had plenty of time after dropping off at Beavers tonight so we’ve got an “early” dinner - HUGE portion of chicken enchiladas with homemade guacamole. Usually a winter dish but just fancied Mexican tonight.

    Popped into Upminster today for some shopping, a quick look in 'Crazy Beats' Records & lunch in the 'Crumpled Horn'. A real bargain - £5.55 for 2 courses, I had tomato soup (which seemed freshly made, not tinned) which came with 2 big doorsteps of granary bread & butter & 3 sausages & mash, also very good. My other half had prawn cocktail & vegetable lasagne which she thoroughly enjoyed. Sorry, will get pics next time

    Gorgeous day today in Wrexham, much like in the rest of the country, and was round at my dad's for lunch... View of the garden from where we ate:



    Starter of pan-fried sea bass fillets in a lemon and fresh dill butter, with fried challots:





    Some wines and view of his patio area:



    A simple pot of pasta with homemade meat sauce:



    And in the bowl:



    Not bad scran for an 86-year old man to cook, eh? Anyway, we spent a lovely day together outside in the glorious sunshine, chatting and enjoying the food and wine, and making some nice memories
