Hello all,
Christmas is coming and the Goose is getting...flu. Only joking folks. For all those waiting eagerly for a succulent fowl and all the seasonal trimmings this year, it's good to see The Rhug Estate, Corwen has had a good write up in the Observer at the weekend... 'The farm's beef, gammon and game is also recommended'. Could be worth a trip one afternoon to stock up.

Anyone got any good cocktail or punch recipes for New Year's Eve?

Indi.

I've just been flicking through 'Mrs. Beeton's Book Of Household Management' from 1859. I've not even got past the Analytical index. For example, as listed under 'S':

Shalot, or eschalot.. .p410
Sheep, the general observations.. ..p678
Poets on the.. ..p730
Sheep's brains, en matelote.. ..p740
Shepherds and their flocks.. ..p710
sherry.. ..p1416

Next week, 'General observations on Beverages' and a recipe for 'Everton Toffee' !

Hello? anybody there?
Just to say, we had a really nice meal at 'Maharajah', London Road.L3.
Not your usual curry. It's a South Indian restaurant, specializing in seafood. Although milder than most curries we are used to, the food was excellent. Lots of coconut, ginger and coriander. Worth a trip to this somewhat neglected part of Liverpool that's for sure!
If it's good enough for Gordon Ramsey, It's good enough for us!
