Yesterday’s meal and today’s meal
I can report that last night’s meal was an awesome success — really hot and tasty tartiflette followed by outrageously sticky chocolate gingerbread. Oh yeah, and the pink champagne. Win! Even better, the same again (apart from the champagne) for lunch today. Leftovers are great and should be mandatory.
We’ve got a couple of friends coming for tea tonight and it’s all going pear-shaped. Helen’s out at the moment trying to hunt down a lettuce that’s suitable for vegetarians (well, something not very similar to that). Waitrose apparently isn’t all that and a bag of potato chips.
Glad your tartiflette was a success, even if the traditional aspect is now in doubt.
But I NEED that recipe for the sticky toffee gingerbread (or was it purchased, if so, where from??)
See ya tonight. Hope the singing will be entertaining, but who can say?? Gotta support the womenfolk.

The recipe is chocolate gingerbread from Nigella’s Feast (on her website if you don’t have the book — though I think you do, yes?).
I had a small problem when I found out that we had about a third of the quantity of icing sugar I needed and the shops were about to close. So I made a small quantity of quite thin chocolate icing (not impressive like her photo) but it still worked out well. Seriously sticky stuff. ;-)
ah!…….. yum!
Must try this when I get slim, ahem.
