A lovely way to say goodbye to your neighbour.

Glad the wines hit the spot.

That’s a lovely combination for the cassoulet with or without the Malbec - better with, obviously. 😋

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!!!!

Sounds very nice and ideal with this evening’s match.

yep, nice bottle of red to accompany.
Argentinian or Kiwi, or like the officials, from a neutral country?

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

You got it my friend.

Looking forward to the colder weather coming, like you we'll be all over casseroles & stews!

Sunday roast as usual will feature plenty of our veg - red cabbage, parsnips, carrots & swede.
All as appetising as ever.

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.
