Coq au vin, the vin is a giftling bottle from the office, I believe made by the artists group/band we rent space to. It's quite good, and I'd say it's a Reisling. I'm having a couple of glasses, it doesn't have to all go in a pot that size.

You do know, I'm sure, that you must be careful how well you feed the kids. If it's as good as this they'll never leave home. I asked one of my friend's kids recently if he was thinking of going out on his own anytime soon. His reply basically was 'Are you nuts, I've got it made here, great food, great laundry facilities and I always make sure any girl I fancy has her own place for the nocturnal activities'.

I've even got them into Sunday Roasts.

Tenderloin two weeks ago, roast chicken with stuffing last week and prime rib premium roast today.
They won't be going anywhere.

Coq au vin today, with a big help from a Colman's packet.

Roast lamb - cooked to perfection...but relatively tasteless. I think the worst roast beef I ever cooked was better. Everything else on the plate was lovely.
It can't just be that it was boneless leg surely?
Think I'll stick to shanks in future...except we still have one left from when we bought it and cut it up. I'll probably smother that one with pesto as that worked well previously.

Maybe lend him them, or put a target on the wall in his office and see if you can win a teddy bear
