Okay no problem, and while its an incredibly simply recipe it'll take a bit to type it all out, so I'll try and get it done this afternoon or evening.

Our first Pot Luck was at some Mormon friends who we met just after we arrived here. Wine would have been a rather awkward offering, so I would not advise it unless you are sure of the host's religious beliefs :rofl:

I have not had a nice balti pie, or any decent pie in 3 years. Think I will make one.

Steak and kidney would be nice too.

There was a teatotal vegan jewish woman at the pot luck we went to, everybody kept wishing her a happy harmonica. I thought maybe she's in a band or something.

:):) That is just tooo tooo awful!

You lot have sold me on Pot Lucks now, I can't wait to be invited to my first! Oddly, my husband didn't know what one was either....aren't we going to have a life of adventure in Canada!

Steak and Kidney pie for me for tea, made the steak and kidney on Monday evening with a bottle of Guiness in the gravy, only take the trouble in winter, but love it when I do. I love winter cooking.

I feel pot lucky. My friends and acquaintances don't do pot lucks. If invited to a gathering, dinner, party, BBQ, etc, the host provides the food and drink. We do bring booze though out of politeness.

You're all hanging out with weirdo's :thumbdown:

Anyway, leftover home made burger (beef, grated courgette, grated carrot, grated onion, little bit of grated cheese, & seasoning) for lunch today. :nod:

Lunch is a rushed affair. Jacobs cream crackers, some with cream cheese, some with slices of Double Gloucester and Stilton. Maybe a mini toblerone to finish.

Excuse me but thread drift alert. There's a perfectly good thread for discussions about your lunchtime choices otherwise you'll just confuse people.

Oh. I apologise profusely. I take back all mention of my crackers.

Tonight, I am having crab bake and potatoes.

No need to apologize but thats very well mannered of you. Is the crab fresh or canned? Not sure what type of crab you get in Ontario? I got six large ones in one trap the other day. For all those having trouble making friends in Canada, get yourself a boat and go crabbing, the locals will instantly be your best friend if you have any to give away.

HID is at a meeting tonight so she won't be home to cook my tea so it'll be cheap Wednesday chicken wings at Earls.
