Re: What are you having for lunch/dinner?

Too warm to eat much today - so no breakfast - just had strawberries and yoghurt at lunch-time. Tonight when it has gone cooler I will have a chicken/ham/mushroom/olive/onion pizza - home made with a salad. Then an ice cool San Miguel Fresca (beer).

Barry, if you have a surfeit of plums, place them in a saucepan, cover them with water, add some sugar and heat gentlyn till sugar has dissolved. remove from heat and allow to cool. Remove from saucepan and slice in half. Remove stones and place in a shallow oven-proof dish (a pyrex dish is perfect). make victoria sponge mixture, add almond essence to mixture. add a small amount of sugar syrup to plums. Pour/scrape sponge mixture over the plums. decorate top with almond flakes and place in a warm (180oC) oven for approx 25 - 35 mins. When cooked thoroughly remove from oven and allow to cool. Sieve icing sugar over it to decorate. Serve (slightly) warm with custard.

Kitty darlin' I bought a half-shoulder of Pork yesterday with a 3 litre bottle of cider. Last night I placed ppork joint in my slow cooker and poured about 3/4 pt over the pork and switched on. The smell emanating from my kitchen this morning is delicious. Shortly I'll remove the skin from the pork, rub it with salt and place it in a roasting tin with the potatoes, parsnip and onion to make crackling. Lunch will be around 13.00 - wanna come???
