So, I ask the wife the same question each day... what's for dinner? To which she replies; don't know, what do you want?

So this time old question that's asked and answered everyday I will pass on to you guys, because rotating the same meals is fine, but variety is the spice of life.

What are you guys having for dinner?

What's a vertical bacon sandwich?

Don't know yet but what I can tell you is I'm going for a proper triumphant and gigantic dump first to make room.

Enjoy your dinner

I'm more of a push the old stuff out with new stuff kind of guy.

What's a vertical bacon sandwich?

A vagina. Dear god!

Not really feeling too hungry anymore.

Coq au vin only a version with white wine.

Basically involves (in this case) a packet of corn fed chicken legs and thighs seasoned and seared in clarified butter (made that yesterday). Then you slow roast the chicken with half a bottle of white wine and pretty much the same again in chicken stock, and a bouquet garni of 3-2-1 parsely, thyme and bay along with plenty of garlic, a few whole peeled shallots, and some bacon lardons that have been fried in the chicken juices.

Then I add a blonde roux I made last week from the fridge (made with clarified butter and flour) to add a bit of velvety-ness and thicken if necessary.

Served with some peas and potatoes from the garden.

Can I come round yours for dinner.

lamb shanks are pretty hard to cook aren't they?
