Is Chicken Kiev a '70s meal? Hadn't though about it. Maybe I should have done the job properly and followed it with a butterscotch Bird's instant whip (!). Also keen on Beef Stroganoff - is that '70s?
Talking of the '70s, maybe I should ressurect my pork with apricot recipe. It used cheap belly pork; useful when you are an impeccunious postgraduate student.
Andre's use of a slow cooker again reminds me again of my postgraduate days living in a garrot. Great thing about slow cookers is that you can use cheap cuts of meat and end up with a delicious 'melt in the mouth' meal. The only disadvantage is the extra washing up! Perhaps after 10 pints of Coors you don't worry! Anyway it sounded delicious. Did you have dumplings with it Andre?
Marco - looks like another vist to Sainsburys for me then.Château Dubois Gramont 2007, Appellation Bordeaux Contrôlée - £6.99 from Sainsburys, and quite incredible value.
Salut
PS Tonight it's a (home made) chicken korma with Basmati rice and a bottle of Nastro Azzurro lager.

Wanted to follow it up with a chocolate fondue, but I was too drunk after downing a Watney's Party Seven!

Some more Claret recommendations
Tonight it has been a Côte de Castellon (a domaine immediately to the east of Sainte-Emilion):
Château Castegens ‘La Croix’. (2006)
“This wine has a deep, intense crimson colour with red fruit overtones. It is well balanced, generous, and a very round on the palate with silky tannins and a long after taste”. (Translated, lest I appear disagreeably pretentious.) 13% ABV. Laithwaites, around £7 a bottle.
Just bought:
Chateau ‘Les Arqueys’, Bordeaux AOC (2006) Château bottled.
Cabernet based blend. A good year for short term drinking; best consumed by end of 2010. “A charming cherry-fresh claret with expressive aromas of blueberry, candied red fruits and floral notes. Oak maturation adds cedar and toasty richness to the palete”.
Laithwaites, ~ £7 a bottle.
Château Marzin, Première Côtes de Blaye AOC (2007) Château bottled.
A blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, from a terroir situated at the same longitude as Margeaux.
“A deep intense ruby colour. The nose develops aromas of ripe red and black fruits with notes of spices and a floral character. Full bodied on the palate with ripe sot tannins, it has a lingering finish”.
Recommended decantation: 1 hour before serving
Laithwaites, ~ £8.50 a bottle.
Château Labadie Cru Bourgeois, Appellation Medoc Contrôlée (2005) Château bottled.
Apparently a standout vintage for Bordeaux, this vintage has “yielded reds with a great balance, intense fruit and firm tannins”.
Only just beginning to ‘open out’, so will benefit from keeping where it will gain in complexity, but drink by end 2012.
13.5% ABV. Laitwaites ~ £11.25 a bottle.

I've just ordered a couple of mixed cases of top-notch German and Belgian beers for Christmas from my favourite on-line supplier:
http://www.beersofeurope.co.uk/acatalog/index.html
I'd thoroughly recommend this company for quick, efficient, service and high quality products.
These weißbier are particularly fab:
As is this Kölsch (beer exclusively from Cologne):
