I made Paella a couple of years ago. Turned out really well.

I made it again, the same way, and it wasn't fit to lace the first one's boots. The second one has put me off trying again since. :(

In observance of the sabbath I'm having wings, alcoholic beverages and old war movies. A splash of bourbon and pat of butter in the final Buffalo sauce finishes them off.

We had roast beef, home made Yorkies, mushy peas that were cooked from scratch. cabbage, carrots, green beans and gravy. No room for a pud.

As HID is away, I'm planning on having some tasty Japanese appetizers and then the naff-off chef's choice sashimi and a couple of well deserved big bottles of Orion beer. Then I'm going down the boozer. ;)

I'm going to make my African peanut butter chicken stew, I have the peppers and mushrooms... darn, missing a sweet potato but I can just use a few spuds and carrots instead. The recipe came courtesy of a Ugandan Interpol agent who was taking a course at the RCMP academy back around '71. He served it over noodles at our house back then but I usually have rice instead.

I adore that meal! Had it at the house of a Gambian acquaintance in The Gambia. It was made with smoked fish. Do you use coconut milk and chicken stock and scotch bonnet peppers? I grow my own scotch bonnets just for this dish.

No coconut milk or stock (I like the idea of coconut milk though) but I usually add a diced jalapeno. I didn't make it after all because I was like a bicycle (2 tired) so now I can go buy a little yam for the stew and do it today.

Spicey wings, chips, battered mushrooms and peas. No lunch so I'm looking forward to this.

Truffle ravioli, topped with a poached egg and crispy guanciale plus a wee bit of parsley and butter for a better visual effect and vitamins.

About to sit down to a nice roast pork - bit of crackling looks good too.

(no apple sauce with or without the dreaded cinnamon) :lol:
