Marty, well I think you should get yourself organised sooner rather than later - remember not all Waitrose stores offer the same services and I would hate to think of Ma Martle shedding a silent tear into the sprouts because Martle Junior arrived sans boeuf  Not to mention the others of the Martle clan huddled around the dining room table wiv only wegdedibles to eat ......... If you procure said joint via Waitrose remember that they buy their Welsh Aberdeen Angus from us - so a joint for the Martle family has in a way passed through the hands of Anty! Now there's a thought to conjure with. |

Anna, `fraid culinary delicacies chez Mort are a bit thin on the ground at the mo. There was not a Donald to be found, but I did get my paws on some rather nice smoked salmon and some prawns (sorry, I know you`re allergic to the little pink devils). Also a good pongy cheese, Pie d`Angloys (had it before) and a good goat (Welsh, look you!) plus salad stuff. By that stage I had become so rattled by the heaving humanity all fighting and scrabbling over the last pack of Brussel sprouts, I fled back home, screaming. It was horrible out there! Truly  I`ll probably risk Muswell Hill Marks tomorrow. Saturday before Christmas? Sigh. I saw wiv my own eyes `your` Aberdeen Angus ribs in Waitrose today. Very handsome they were too  Ron, now you tell me !  |

Very handsome they were too Indeed me Lady Mort, If I may be so bold, a lowly cattle seller of the finest Welsh meat wot you will ever delight in, (if I may be so bold towards a Lady of Quality) you will find more comfort in our Aberdeen Angus than a box of Thorntons chocolates will ever afford a Lady of your Refined Sensibilities. Look at it, and the marbled fat permeating the flesh. Gawd, Luvaduck, it do fair give me palpitations at the sensation of said aforesaid beast dissolving in me mouth with a soupcon of Mrs. Gedwin's famed horseradish sauce and an 'ealthy helping of sprouts |

Sorry Anna, I can't really help you. I don't do "Christmas dinner" - I'll be preparing some food next Tuesday but I don't know what yet. I might do some of my yummy roast potatoes and parsnips which go really well with Brinjal Pickle I find. However I usually like to do them in extra virgin with lots of sprigs of rosemary and my rosemary bush died this year so that's out. I deliberately didn't buy any sprouts this week as I've been using them quite a bit recently - usually sliced and either fried or added to pasta sauce. I did buy, for the first time, some paneer, which I spotted in Sainsbury's yesterday, so I might experiment with that in a curry. Or I might make a cheese sandwich The only time I've ever made a nut roast was on a veggie cookery course which I attended a long time ago. I've never felt like making another one. |

I like the sound of your potatoes, Andy. Would you not consider buying a packet of Rosemary sprigs? I know that there are ridiculously expensive when compared to sniping some off of your own plant, but it seems a shame to miss out on a yummy sounding dish.

Or treat yourself to a new Rosemary bush for Christmas! Do you prefer to grow Rosemary from seed? In which case you'll have an awfully long wait before you can have those roast potatoes and parsnips... |

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.

Also a good pongy cheese, Pie d`Angloys (had it before) If there was a "droooooool" emoticon I would be using it in triplicate. I love Pie d'Angloys. |

I love all runny, smelly cheeses. The sort you have to beat with a stick to stop them running out the door and joining the circus.
TimR-J had it about right there!  |

In which case you'll have an awfully long wait before you can have those roast potatoes and parsnips... I've always grown rosemary from seed MJ. I've had several bushes in the past but this was the last one. It was pretty big and looked healthy so I expect it died of old age. I should have planned for its replacement I suppose. I like the sound of your potatoes, Andy. Would you not consider buying a packet of Rosemary sprigs? I know that there are ridiculously expensive when compared to sniping some off of your own plant, but it seems a shame to miss out on a yummy sounding dish.
You're right Mort, those packets are v expensive. I've still got several sage bushes so I could try that instead of rosemary, see how it turns out. |

Andy, if it wasn't for the fact the last post has gone I could have sent you some Rosemary from my garden, but those sprigs in the supermarket aren't expensive, about 99p or you could nip down to the garden centre and steal some?
Chez Antheil, ce soir, salmon, baby pots with herbes and butter, green veg comprising peas, beans and broccoli, topped with even more butter!

99p isn't much I agree but I don't intend to go to the supermarket again until after Xmas - so it'll have to be sage or nothing if I decide to do some roast pots. I'm just coming to the end of my home-grown toms. The variety I grew this year in the greenhouse is an F1 hybrid called Harlequin, a rich red smallish plum which tastes wonderful and keeps for ages without going soft and squashy - hence how I can eat the last of them today. Mind you, they should be good, the packet of seeds cost £2-99 and I got 9 of them! (the packet said 8 so I got a bonus seed) http://seeds.thompson-morgan.com/uk/en/product/gws0539/1 |

Preparing, but not burning yet...individual Beef Wellingtons for dinner this evening. Super recipe, as used at the Savoy supposedly, which I've done before. It involves the beef fillets being covered in a mushroom duxelles, wrapped in Parma ham slices, then wrapped in a chive pancake before being encased with the puff pastry. Can hardly wait...  |
