First pic preparations
Second main course
Third Crêpes Suzette en flambé
The scale of the disaster exacerbated by out of place pots and pans
13-022-2020
Breakfast 2x CWC 2 eggs Scrambled in the microwave. Was going to have cheese but saw the sausages MrSlim bought for breakfast. So didn't.
He slept late. Wasn't feeling too good today.
Lunch: we had the mergez sausages in baguette. 3 sausages each. Really like these flavoursome spicy sausages, although I think we need to take more notice of how the French cook them.
Dinner:
Hold onto your hats folks. MrSlim is feeling better and cooking up a more delicious storm than the one outside.
Dinner menu
Real lobster Bisque.
Filet de boeuff stroganoff served with dauphinois potates (yes I did have some) sauted mushrooms and buttered cauliflower and brocolli.
Crêpes Suzette. Possibly my favourite pudding in the world. A MrSlim speciality.
To drink? Champagne of course. An economical one from Lidl, lot of fizz and pleasantly dry.
Just in case you hadn't already guessed, in another life MrSlim used to be a chef. This is the first time he has cooked for me the Beef Stroganoff, although he has mentioned it often.
Any one want to see pics ?
Well here I am preparing for another weekend of possible power cuts so when I did my food shopping this morning I planned to cook things later which could be heated up/cooked on the picnic stove. So chicken stir fry tomo and chilli made today to heat up on Sunday. Tonight is monkfish and scallops off this mornings boats.
At least living on top of a hill I dont have to worry about flooding. I fear for the folk up rhe country who still havent got over the last floods.

Glad to hear there is improvement even if its not the hand you need. It would be good if the right followed suit. You and Mr Chook seem to have worked out a cunning plan for dinners. I have two cast iron pans which I rarely use so I understand. One is a large casserole which is useful to feed a crowd but that seldom happens any more so I may decide to part ways with them if we move. I will be crossing everything that you and your neighbours dont have flooding. I get power cuts but that is nothing compared to flooding. Best wishes.I'm still here and still enjoying your posts. My left hand is almost back to what it was before, sadly I'm VERY right handed and that hand is lagging behind in the getting better race. I'm hoping it will get better on its own and i won't need the doctor's appointment booked for the week after next. I really hate doctors.
We are on an amber warning for heavy rain here at the weekend courtesy of storm Dennis - people in the next village (Fishlake) are bracing themselves for a re-run of the recent floods, although we've had no automated notification that might happen (last time every single land line and mobile phone in this village and a couple of others were sent a high priority automated message which overrides any do not disturb / call barring settings on your phone). Last time the water got as close as seeping under the front door of a house two doors down from me (which was nerve wracking).
Food is going fine.... breakfasts have all been chia puddings or soya yoghurt with nuts. Mainly green gloop for lunches and then very simple dinners - the downside to having heavy cooking pans is that i can't pick them up at the moment so anything requiring cooking has mostly been done by Mr C, plated up then microwave re-heated when needed.
I wouldn't mind my lovely fishes plate coming with something like that on top! I'll do the dishesDinner was almost carnivore pizza (a few onions alongside the animal products). Delicious. @Antje77 note the plate!
