Had seafood chowder on Friday & roast turkey dinner yesterday to say goodbye to our neighbour who is moving into a specialist residential home for sufferers of alzheimers. Christened our newly acquired Sporting Wines - 9-3 on Friday & Messi's Malbec on Saturday. Very satisfying.

One of my favourite Autumn/Winter meals planned for Saturday - pork & chorizo cassoulet. Slow cooked pork belly in a rich red wine & mushroom sauce. I get my butcher to leave the bone in the pork belly as it helps the flavour. Have a nice Malbec to accompany.

Turkeys - now there is a topical subject. Diane & I have over the years always tried to support our local butchers wherever we have lived but sometimes you have to draw the line. Last year we broke with tradition & decided to forego the fresh available from our butcher at the cost of around £13/kg = for our 9kg bird around £120.
Instead we bought a frozen bird from Sainsburys - similar size £28. At the same time I also bought a 6 kg bird for Easter & a smaller one for a Sunday lunch with family during November & still ended up only paying around £60 for three birds!!!!! All three frozen turkeys were delicious. This year we were planning the same but my daughter's boyfriend - Hef the chef - who hails from Pembrokeshire & is having his first Xmas at chez Roberts has insisted on supplying the turkey from a mate's farm. What is it with these Pembrokeshire boys - they've always got a mate!!!!! So we have settled for two frozen turkeys this year one we are having tomorrow.

Made a prawn & chorizo jambalaya last night. Very tasty & using the spicy chorizo gave it a lovely but not over powering zing. Accompanied by a lovely bottle of Rioja blush, a new one on me - 13.5 & a very smooth quaff!!!!

Agrentine Malbec but might go for a Pinot Noir from New Zealand for a bit of fairness.

The leek & tomato sauce sounds intriguing. I think FS wins the prize for rugby themed meal this evening with his Argentinian underdog menu. Either nation in the Saturday semi could lay claim to GPR’s seafood linguine.

Steak kind of tacos tonight but rather than buying taco shells, going to make some homemade flat breads & serve with the marinaded steak, pickled veggies & some form of a sauce.

Its that time of year where menus are more and more dictated to by the abundance of various vegetables. Leeks, tomatoes & sweet peppers are available aplenty so tonight we are having a chicken, leek & mushroom pie, tomorrow a seafood linguine using our leeks & tomatoes to form a sauce. Sunday roast as usual will feature plenty of our veg - red cabbage, parsnips, carrots & swede.
