I know I am always banging on about taking more photos, well last night I really should have taken some photos. I could have used them to illustrate a cookery book!
I cooked dinner last night, just for two of us as it should be on V night, I had to take into account our Lenten fasts so planned the menu carefully. I started off with fresh figs wrapped in prosciutto and topped with Gorgonzola, warmed through in the oven just enough to melt the cheese. This is a
Hairy Bikers recipe and every bit as good as it sounds. For our main I fried some lamb steaks with rosemary with some pommes boulangere and simple jus.
I finished up with the fun bit, the other day I heard Raymond Blac say that it was only with desserts that the chef could really enjoy themselves, well I enjoyed myself with a lemon trifle. At the bottom lemon jelly then a layer of lemon mouse topped off with Chantilly and served with a lemon biscuit dipped in white chocolate. This is the first time I have served this, and i think maybe it would have been a little better with a ginger snap but a definite success.
This morning all that is left is the washing up
Specially for Meg another song name post title.

Wow I wish someone in our house could cook. We did nothing special for V day. Yours sounds excellent. Did your wife like the food?
Yes, I choose the menu specially with lots of her favorite things, it was very nice to sit down together in peace and quite and share a meal, something we have always enjoyed and need to get back into the habit of.
