Spaghetti and meatballs with grated parmigiano reggiano. It's late for lunch, so I'll call it supper.

I found an old Boneless Cross Rib roast in the freezer from late 2016 so I roasted it.

We don't buy them any more, sticking to Premium rib or Tenderloin for beef roasts, and this was a reminder why. Only ever had a couple that were actually good roasted.

The overall taste of everything on the plate was great but the meat itself was not very good. Glad I didn't waste a bottle of wine on it.

Might consider it again if cheap enough just to get a really good gravy. :o

Freshly caught salmon from Tunstall Bay, linguine alfredo with a nice bottle of pinot gris.

If you're catching your own fish you should be treading your own grapes.

Stepdaughter came home yesterday with a pack of salmon trimmings and a chowder style mix of fish - but as far as I could tell only salmon and haddock - half price but a couple of days away.

I made 'fish pie' - I couldn't be bothered making my own sauce so I just used a sea food chowder tin and we had a salmon pastry 'parcel' (using some trimmings) on the side.

The remaining salmon will go on a nice alfredo tomorrow. Maybe add a few scallops and/or shrimps.

I'm going to try to make a fish pie this weekend. I have an abundance of salmon and prawns so I just need to buy some Atlantic cod and some smoked haddock. I bought a pasty bag yesterday so I can pipe the mashed potato on top. :thumbup:

Re: Teatime Choices
 

That's fancy. I just spooned mine on top. Dishing it onto plates/bowls mixes it up a bit anyway.

Unless you're all lah-di-da and do individual portions :lol:

That looks good! :thumbup:

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Just how do people get the top of mash to go like that? Under the broiler? Anything added?

Re: Teatime Choices
 

An egg yolk mixed in with the mash helps.
