Thanks Rosalind.... Although kisses and hugs would be fun whilst preparing dinner, except dinner may be rather late if not skipped altogether!!!!
Butler was lax this evening and didn't have cook do it correctly so I ended up having a rather shorter than normal dinner. I had a bit of caviar to start with followed by a half dozen escargot. Only a thin soup tonight - dark onion with a hint of garlic. I never miss the fish so I enjoyed a serving of lightly curried scallops. A bit of Italian pomegranate sorbet cleansed the pallet for the nicely turned quail with shallots and artichoke hearts that followed. I must say the tenderloin medallions in the wild mushroom sauce were excellence. A spring mix of greens with a sweet yellow pepper cartwheel made a delightful intermezzo. Then, a nicely ripe Gorgonzola preceded the trusty old spotted dog, which in turn was followed immediately by a double cream hand-made ice cream for which one of the servants had crushed the vanilla beans by hand and extracted the flavor with a unflavored doubly distilled liqueur. I then elected to have the cantaloupe with the almond and mint petite four. Retreating to the drawing room, I opted for a cup of the blend of coffee I grow myself in the solarium.I topped it all off with a large can of Foster's and a some skinny dipping in the cement pond with the maid. Sometime life can be so boring. SO - I turned on the TV and watched on demand professional wrestling. The maid "had a headache from too much Foster's." Likely, I'm sure.
I had yesterday's leftover veggie lasagne - it was almost as good re-heated as it was when Jen made it yesterday...
Carbonara, made with local smoked black forest ham, and parmigiano reggiano that I brought back from Italy. A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips....but worth it!
Salad.. and a baked potato
2 oxo cubes in hot water!Not eaten much for a few days as I have a heavy cold so I'm keeping up the fluids and salt.
A new day a new meal. Tonight I had duck leg in tomato and fennel sauce with a baked potato. I love fennel and tomato with garlic and onion, white wine and a bay leaf. I bought beefsteak tomatoes from the farmers market. They are grown on the Isle of Wight.

That's better...completely destroy some beautiful scallops by currying them...I give up !! A bit of Italian pomegranate sorbet cleansed the pallet Adequate for the nicely turned quail with shallots and artichoke hearts that followed. Improvement, I'm almost impressed !!

Oy, FBI, he grows his own !!I topped it all off with a large can of Foster's An Australian dessert lager ? and a some skinny dipping in the cement pond with the maid. Sometime life can be so boring.
