Happy anniversary, seems like you have had an enjoyable day despite the cold xA day of highs and lows. Lows were the cold, losing my pedometer and needlessly getting cold and wet walking the dogs. The highs - Ely market and the evening meal. At the market we purchased pheasants, partridges ( whole and breast only), wild duck, amazing cheese, beef dripping, brown prawns and best of all OctopusAlso found some Oppo in that Waitrose and some bargains not available in our local Waitrose.
Breakfast: Lots of tea - a 5.20 ish start will do that to a guy
Dockey : Starbucks almond milk latte with s/f caramel;
Lunch : Waitrose tea
Mid Afternoon: Walk in the cold wet rain then tea; should have looked at weather more carefully and put on waterproof overtrousers and walking shoes not trainers
Evening meal: 2 slices Serrano ham and 60 gms Cantaloupe melon; Chateaubriand steak with red wine jus; chargrilled veggies; Red wine (cheeky little Entre-Deux-M)ers); Goats cheese Gouda and Gruyere (that was amazing), walnuts, celery; Maybe Cognac or Madeira later
If I haven't thanked anyone for their wishes for our anniversary, thank you
Thanks @jayney27 I think I bore it all with great fortitude - the day and the 34 yearsHappy anniversary, seems like you have had an enjoyable day despite the cold x
I find the solution is to make sweet things I don't like and give them away! Yesterday was the Rocky Roads today stuffed rice krispie , marshmallow and peanut butter slices. I loath peanut butter but son, DIL and the grandsons love it (it's stuffed with Reeses peanut butter cups).Me too! A whole pot and copious amounts of cream can easily disappear in one.

Lidl are about to have a gin weekFasting with just coffee and water, until dinner at 6:30 which was garlic mushrooms and a spoonful of beef chilli. Tonic water, the sugar free stuff, imagining it had gin in it.
The meal rose to adequate - once I decided to opt for the MadeiraEvening all
@ianpspurs your anniversary dinner sounds fabulous, must have cheered you up after your cold wet dog walk.
Only 1 week? - Julie manages 53 a yearLidl are about to have a gin week
The motorway madness is already a distant memory, the washing mountain is diminishing as I type, my holiday will live in my memory for ever, I hope, it was wonderful, our next one is booked and nothing would keep me from spending time with my beautiful grandchildren, we were all frozen but I think I felt it the most having spent 10 days in glorious sunshine and temps in the low 30’sThanks @jayney27 I think I bore it all with great fortitude - the day and the 34 yearsHope the motorway madness and washing didn't take the gloss off your amazing holiday . Sorry the pumpkin adventure was a little cold.
Are your thin ribs what I call flat rib (they're flat - almost like a ruler)? They're fab!
Thankee kindly ma'am. I am sure you must have given the info before but is there a source to give temps and times for infusions or just guess?Happy Anniversary Mrs & Mrs @ianpspurs .
I have filtered and bottled both now, although I haven't tasted the drinks, I did eat one lot of the infused ginger. Fabulous! Not quite gingerbread flavour, as I sort of made that up, a on the spur of the moment, so a work in progress.
The geese were in the freezers today. Didn't check the price though - sorry. Most of their Christmas range is in.Only 1 week? - Julie manages 53 a yearThanks for the good wishes - hoping to see if Lidl have a cheap (frozen) goose for Martinmas as I love the old traditions and idea of starting advent that early. Anyone know if Aldi have their wine advent calendar yet?
Thanks. We have a proper fresh one ordered for Christmas but I am making an effort to go back to old traditions and goose at Martinmas appeals to me - idea of a feast to end the agricultural year and start Advent early.The geese were in the freezers today. Didn't check the price though - sorry. Most of their Christmas range is in.
