Since ave retired, Tuesday and Thursday is golf day. The rest of the week is whatever. Today Tashyboy has been cooking. One of me fave hobbies, obviously accompanied by said bottle of Italian red wine. It was decided just after Christmas that the freezer is full of Rammel that needed to be scoffed, to make way for more Rammel. Anyway yesterday I found a bag of venison. I can remember buying it from a farmers market in Yorkshire.
10 mins later I had found a recipe on the BBC site and today was spent running around for said accompanying ingredients. The casserole ( not stew) went in at 13.30 hrs. It is now history.
Suffice to say Bambi's relative did Tashyboys casserole justice. It was divine, helped washed down with the half of Italian red which never went in the casserole.
Any other forumers that like to get loose in the kitchen.
 
I made pasta parcels with a beef and red wine filling. I cheated on the four cheeses sauce. And a bottle of Orvieto Classico. Unfortunately, we had run out of black pepper, and it was severely missed.

Now contemplating a small glass of whisky.
 
Love cooking, I often bore Snell to death*talking about my recipes during a round.
I'm in a Persian/Middle East phase at the moment thanks to a couple of books I got for xmas. Made butter chicken last Saturday which my curry hating daughter loved 👍
 
I have a go at a variety of different things, stews, casseroles, chilli, curry etc etc and im especially keen when i can use the pressure cooker - it saves so much time !
 
I cook a curry every Saturday. They are mostly from Rick Stein's Indian recipe book but a couple are from elsewhere. I do them on a repeating cycle. Particular favourites are Butter Chicken, which was invented by an Indian chef who cooked chicken in the discarded marinade from making Chicken Tikka. Another is Lamb Dopiaza, the easiest one to cook of the lot. You just lob everything into a pan, including a large tub of yoghourt & cook for about 3 hours. It hasn't got any different ingredients in from any of the other dishes but tastes completely different. Saturday nights consist of curry, rice, Nan Bread & a bottle of Cobra. Deeeelishus!

Local pub in Ascot does fantastic venison. Often have it and always cooked to perfection. Lovely meat

It can be strong Homer, but the casserole I did had half a bottle of red and two tablespoons of red currant jelly in it. Plus it was cooked low and slow so was really tender.
Me and Missis T looked at having a weekend in Ascot, but £20 parking put us off. 😳

That would be right up my street, but not sure I would be able to get down to ascot for three days and then tell Missis T am disappearing with me clubs for half a day. 😁
It was a pub/hotel we were looking to stop at, but the small print showed the parking for the weekend which put us off. We're off to Porto next week, and am sure we were looking at going to ascot initially and Missis T plumped for Porto instead, which is not a massive deal more.
 
I was a chef for 6 years before getting into what i do now. So i cook everything i eat at home! I can count on one hand how many times my wife has cooked me dinner in ten years of marriage... she cooks for the kids though! (during the week) I still love it and love having people round so i can cook 'the poncey stuff' as my mrs calls it..
