Just back from the Burns lunch.The haggis was piped in as per usual.Mr McP enjoyed his haggis starter while I had a pear, grape and walnut salad. The roast beef etc was very good but the cranachan was sublime, lovely raspberries and plenty of whisky. Mr BMcP was so full by the pudding stage he was struggling to finish his Tipsy Laird. Traffic was heavy going both to and fro because King Charles III and the Queen Consort were at The Town Hall for its 150th Anniversary.
Tonight I have made a vegetable casserole with cheese sauce, topped with sliced tomatoes, boiled baby potatoes, and extra cheese on top. Under the grill until crusty and looks like leopard spots. Yum! [img src="https://yoursmiles.org/tsmile/eat/t1941.gif
Enough for the weekend, I shall have sausages with some tomorrow.
Just back from The Highcliff because The Voyager was too rammed. I've been wanting to try this place out for ages as I'm bored with the rather generic menu at the latter. Tonight then I enjoyed the chilli beef enchiladas which were absolutely amazing and at a ridiculously cheap £10.99. Will be going back there again for sure.
The rain had cleared and the sun was out by the time we got to this week's meeting place. The wind was a bit fierce but altogether a nice day. We went to a Taverna we have never been to before and it was great.
We had courgette croquettes, loads of dips, salads, oven-baked cheese, grilled liver, sausages, pork chops, chicken and kofta. With wine and beers, 13 euro per head, actually 12.50 but we all gave a 50 cent tip.
It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.
One of my cats from many years ago, would sit by the fridge for days following me cooking a ham joint. Fortunately, she never figured how to open the door lol!

When I was a kid we had a Dachshund and she was horrible, very nasty and impossibly greedy. She would thieve food off your plate if you turned your back and go for you if you tried to stop her. She learned how to get her nose into the fridge door, the final straw being when she nicked a joint of beef and devoured it. Dad had to drill a hole through the top of the fridge down into the door then drop a six inch nail down the hole to lock it. We could get in just be lifting the nail out but the dog couldn't.
