chocchick Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 I would love a barbeque, don't know if friends would come along at such short notice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannie Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 We're having a meal in the garden this evening, but not a BBQ. It'll go: Roast peppers with anchovies and garlic, served with homemade bread (proving now) James' wonderful fish & bean stew dish (sure Rick Stein called it something a bit more prosaic than that - oh yes - its a cassoulet) Cabbage salad Fresh mangos Fresh mint tea or coffee And a bit of wine Just hope the chicken run doesn't whiff!

Mrs Frugal Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 Oh that sounds divine ! Is there room for me at the table please? I think LSH will be barbecueing something or other tonight. I leave it totally to him as it's the one time he does any sort of "cooking". Ollie's put a request in for me to make some garlic bread so I've got to try to find a recipe for a homemade baguette! Plenty of garlic and homemade butter in the larder so that bit's not a problem!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted June 10, 2006 Author Share Posted June 10, 2006 Homemead garlic bread is the best.I add parsley to mine too, & heat it on the BBQ coals Home mead butter - wow,you really are superwoman We have chocolate strawberries for after the meal. I just had to brave the hoards at Tesco to get them & there was a veritable scrum over the sausages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted June 10, 2006 Author Share Posted June 10, 2006 How lovely,I haven't been to Virginia Waters for years. We really must make an effort & take the girls.I remember being just overawed by the beauty of the place when I last went,which was about 30 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Frugal Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 No absolutely not ! I love making butter - been doing it on and off for years and it's delicious and cheap if you look out for half price double cream at the supermarkets! The bonus is fresh buttermilk to use in scones which come out light as a feather! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chocchick Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 Had barbeque in end, and it was very nice, although somhow ended up being me and about 6 computer geeks Susannah disgraced herself by deciding to go broody, being lifted out of the nest twice, realising she was locked out and then turning into a moving fluffy ball clucking ALL night occasionally punctuated by a loud sqwark of indignation. Meanwell the guests started asking things like, did that chicken sneeze (Katy)? and...why is it a problem if she's broody? and general excitement at watching us throwing cold water at the aforementioned fluffball. Enjoy your picnic Kaz, I'm off too one too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
