Fishy Menu for Thorsday

by avrilo @ 2008-06-12 - 20:11:46

DINNER
Monkfish with Borlotti Beans in Tomato Sauce with Fennel (from garden)
Rice
Side Salad with Feta Cheese, Tomatoes, Cucumber, Black Grapes, Jalapeno Peppers

Walnut Dream Ice Cream with a drizzle of Baileys Cream

Mr A was working from home today, so there was a constant flow of music from his office, including Stranglers, The Clash, assorted Reggae and Romanian Gypsy Punk Funk.
I've been writing the plot of a story. It's Science Fiction and involves:
2 aliens called Jemm'Nez and Braa'Ayu,
symbols given in dreams,
3 reincarnations,
a mission to save the planet's population from dying of an illness,
a cure for the same illness on another planet,
a locator disguised as a locket,
a key to the spacecraft disguised as a locket,
dream diaries,
a book written from the diaries which becomes a fictional best seller.

So, change the order a bit, add some interesting dialogue, descriptive scenery, strong characterisation and page numbers, and a story is born.

It's a football night on the t.v., so I'll probably watch some programmes on 4OD, Peep Show being number one choice of viewing.
Each evening, Mr A has a bottle of beer that I've brought when I went shopping. I get a different one every night, tonight it's the turn of Ridley's 'Old Bob.' A strong premium ale, alcohol 5.1% volume. Mr A reckons it's a good 'un. The names of some of the ales I've got range from the ridiculous to the sublime. I can't remember many at the mo, but there's Black Sheep, Dark Lord, Oxford Gold, Old Glory, and Landlord.

The veg is coming on, in the garden, we had our first courgette, a round, firm and smooth little beauty.
I can't wait (well, I'll have to) for the sweetcorn to be ripe. Corn on the cob picked and cooked within half an hour is a taste of heaven on earth. Oooo, with a large dob of butter and a pinch of salt. Yes.

Well, it's time to put the rice on, pick some fennel and act as a general busybody. Actually, I claim that title.

Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce our esteemed and honoured blogger for this evening;

'General Busybody, R.M.M.' (right mouthy madam)

I have to eat corn on the cob very carefully with my bottom teeth, one's a bit wobbly. Not something that anyone would want to watch!
The sweetcorn in tins doesn't compare with the fresh corn!

The menu (and fresh veg) sounds mouthwatering as always!

Glad you like the menu. I absolutely love fresh veg. Getting them fresh from the garden justifies the work put into producing them.

I would love a veg garden. hugs and kisses
