Thanks, Tommo, on all counts. I don't suppose the all Russian one will be too easy to find, but I will go searching.
Bryn, just have a look around you. Notice anything? Glistening leeks. Black scotty tatties. Anything Russian at all? Might you, possibly, be on the wrong thread?  Possibly, but I do prefer my spuds blue, rather than black. |

Apple charlotte for pudding with custard.
Unfortunately I made neither, and even less fortunately they came from a shop.

Blimey, I think I'd be the wrong side of the Chana Granita for them lot!  However, the last time that I was in Earls Court (bear with me) I came across a restaurant called Masala Zone. Fresh food? Omigod!! It just zings off the plate. And the chutneys!! Yessssss! I discovered later that it's part of a small chain (there's one in Islington. See? told you to bear with me ) What really swung it for me was the fresh coriander chutney. Gorgeous! |

lentil soup it'll be for me. (I also think I'm finally on speaking-terms with mace now; after a fortuitous accident involving some chickpea soup  ). |

Grilled pork loin steak with a thin slice of blue cheese on top, served with mashed potatoes and simple boiled cabbage dressed with a knob of juniper butter.

Nothing burning tonight.
Went out for major lunch today with the head of performance.
I had a game terrine followed by a steamed fillet of sea bream with ginger and mussels. All finished off with a plum and amaretto clafoutis, and a lot of the cheese that he'd ordered for himself. Good wine to accompany it, and it was framed by a gin & tonic on one side, and an espresso on the other. I was just on that cusp of being sated and almost being full.
All of that means that tonight I've just hard boiled a couple of eggs, chopped them up and sprinkled them with salt and pepper in open sandwiches. I think I'll have a banana (to counteract the eggs) and some cake and biscuits later with another cup of tea. I love Sunday tea.

Lovely lamb, gorgeous greens and splendid spuds (raised to magnificent heights by the addition of some goose fat). Oh, and the gravy wasn't half bad either! |

Well as long as the gravy ended up on your plate and not on the floor you're doing better than I was last night!

Their best-known branch is in Soho, but they have recently opened a new one 30 seconds away from the Royal Opera House, next door to Bertorelli's, which is very useful before and after lengthy Wagnerian performances. It's a slightly odd place to go with friends, however - they are mainly geared towards single-portion meals, unlike your usual curry house where things come in serving dishes to be shared around the table. Nice food, though, and very reasonably priced. |

It was lovely actually! If it had been cooked for longer then it would have been sublime but it was really good. I took the ham out twenty minutes before serving to allow it to rest, meanwhile I heated up the rest of the pot and added some sieved cornflour. Just before serving, I carved chunks of meat off the hough and chopped it up into bite-sized pieces and added it to the pot. I decided against parsley sauce (seeing as there was so much sauce in the casserole) so added a whole load of parsley in the end. Gorgeous and there's enough for at least a couple more meals!
Now we're having tea and listening to Aldo Clementi.

Oh. Has no-one ever taught you about 'follow through', hh? Erm. Are you referring to the possible side-effects of cabbage and lentils, or to pudding (it was the remains of the apple charlotte) or possibly to something else? The Aldo was a lovely end to the evening. |
