Wow. Bad times for the food. All day I've been thinking about doing delicious things with smoked mackerel, sour cream and baked potatoes. Then I checked the use-by date on the sausages. Sausages. I don't want sausages! Ok, the sensible thing is to eat and not waste the sausages. So I overcooked the leeks. Made the mash too soft. And over-salted the onion gravy. Dr W was very polite.
Not sure things are going to improve tomorrow. I will be eating grated carrot, celery and sultanas, in what I think circa 1972 would be called, a Rainbow Salad. Or something that will fill you with a similar sense of impending disappointment.
With this in mind I had a flick through the salad section of
Marguerite Patten's Cookery in Colour - A Picture Encyclopedia For Every Occasion. When eating my dubious salad tomorrow I will remind myself that I could be eating
Tuna Whip and Salad,
Orange and Cheese Salad Flan or indeed a
Creamed Salad Ring, as pictured.
Unsettling use of the words whip, flan, creamed and ring.
Yes those are prawns. Yum.
Must set more foods in aspic.
2011- The Year of Aspic. Or should that be 'in'...
Please appreciate my plastic pineapple by the way. I love it.
