Ok folks - with all the stuff going on I've barely cooked anything but snacks and basics - so I've ordered some Angus beef pave steaks, some calves cheeks, a nice loue chicken, some lamb and some duck legs for a cooking marathon for next week
So there will be (more or less and in no particular order)
the cheeks braised in Aglianico wine,
Confit duck
the ubiquitous lamb curry
and the steak and chicken cooked up nice and plain to allow the great natural tastes though -
So loue is a breed? What does it bring to the table Geo?
it's an old french breed that's allowed to grow naturally - properly free range, and not slaughtered until 80-100 days
it's chicken that actually tastes like chicken (which is a bit stronger than most people are used to)

Just checked this thread for first time this month - yummy, yummy, yummy, I've a rumbling tummy…!
JEGZ please next time you make a tuna sandwich we DO want pix.
Hectic, that Madeira cake looked amazing
Injun, Van Olzon, Finn666 - mouthwatering (and Finn that's a top picnic spot you chose)
Geo - really looking forward to your kitchenfest next week (and I did suggest to G this morning it might be high time for a trip to Glasgow, but seems Jaco and Hectic got in first)
Beats, we'll be sharing a pizza together very soon, yay!
Will try to (get G to) do some cooking this weekend so that we can contribute...

As always, I'm a day behind in my postings. Since yesterday was Mother's Day, I worked my butt off so that my wife wouldn't have to. Lots of packing, unpacking, furniture moving, construction debris cleaning, washing dishes, doing laundry, changing diapers, washing children, etc. The only thing really noteworthy, however, was dinner.
This is a staple at our house; simple, quick and tasty. Grilled salmon, steamed asparagus with fresh cracked black pepper and whole wheat garlic herb couscous. Less than 30 minutes from refrigerator to table.
And for dessert, some fresh strawberries. Gotta love fresh strawberries.
