thanks for that peadar. ill sleep easy tonight now i know that....
Just lookin at those recipes on BBC made me think of one that was quite good for me. I poached pears in Strawberry Vodka instead of wine once. I got the stuff in Lidl and it was gorgeous. The strawberry & pear worked really well together. Served them in wine glasses with natural yoghurt that I had mixed cinnamon thro. yum. must do it again soon.
I cooked a lovely dinner. Starter:
Grilled goats cheese and slices of duck breast (for her) and braised Tofu slices (for me) with Fig Jam.
Mains:
Fillet Steak (For Her), Tofu Steak (For me) with Whiskey Peppercorn sauce, poetobello mushrooms and chunky home made chips.
Wine:
Chateau Neuf du Pape
Followed by a cheeseboard. (Gubbeen, Wicklow Brie)
got a book yesterday from the other half from nigel ( cant remember his surname, new zealand guy ) anyhow looks really good, none of these obscure crap things that you use once and never use again, some really nice dishes and some really simple stuff that seem like they will taste lovely. looking forward to trying them out.
God I hate Tofu! But love ur choice of wine....was gonna break open the bottle of it that I have in my wine rack last nite but decided on a cheeky little Fluerie instead. Yum. If I was in ur house last nite I would have just had the chips and the peppercorn sauce followed by the wine and cheese!Quote:

How did the Naff Pepe wine go down?
Can't beat a bit of Gubeen!

The wine was great. It was actually a christmas pressie from my cousin and we decided to open it last night.
The Gubeen was really nice alright.
