    At office parties the guys from our IT department mix cocktails. Their Long Island Iced Tea is terrific and their Strawberry Daiquiri is outstanding. It's a crazy world.

    Happy Food Year Led

    Passion Fruit Souffle was a winner - It's a rare sight, Mrs CP in the Kitchen, but she pulled of a winner for sure

    To be honest we didn't really debauched on food and drinks over the festive period. Hangovers for me on wine are rare and weed never makes me feel rough in the morning

    Just had some smoked fish and salad which is par for the course for lunch. 4 dry days a week ( no weed or wine) but Mrs CP doesn't get home till after 5 so dinner will be @ 7 as usual

    Happy Food Year to you too, CP.

    Debauchery with alcohol means, that I drank a glass of wine or a digestiv every day over the festive season (for about 2 weeks). Usually we drink one bottle of wine on weekends - that's no rock'n roll lifestyle.

    I arrive at home from work at 5.30-6 pm. But I turn into the Hulk when I'm hungry. To protect my environment, I eat my dinner at lunchtime :D
    Today we visited a Turkish restaurant. Stuffed eggplant (Imam Bayildi) with rice and salad. 2 tangerines made the dessert.

    I like smoked fish too.  I think, I like all kinds of fish dishes :fisheat:

  3. A very Happy New Year to everyone.
     
    Wow, Passion Fruit Souffle, that sounds fantastic, CP.
     
    Yesterday's boiled beef made a terrific soup today, upgraded with noodles and semolina dumplings.
     
    After 4 weeks of total food debauchery (sweets, meat, alcohol) I'm looking forward to my daily diet. :blink:
    (Alcohol on weekends only, almost no sweets, no eating after 4 pm on weekdays)
    Next festive season: Carnival
  4. Our traditional New Year's Eve dinner:
    Prime boiled beef fillet (Tafelspitz)
    with horseradish sauce and a special chives sauce, roasted potatoes, green beans, corn salat

    The Secco (a sparkling wine) is my favourite sparkling wine/champagne/prosecco/whatever. We order it directly from the winemaker.

    Funny how "Grand Cru" has that luxury name but doesn't make the grade? 10 years old too

    last evening we were at friends and he had a Chateau Neuf de Pape and a Borolo from Italy. Both were bland and uninteresting and expensive. I took a glugger from The Douro at £5 and it outshone the rest. Still he did make a melt in the mouth Beef dish. Braised Rump and it had been in the Aga all day !

    Taking a sabbatical from wine and herbs for a few days. Got a rib of beef for New year and thinking what to do with it

    The few times I drank these famous wines and champagnes I was disappointed. The Chateau Neuf-du-Pape tasted like a Chateau du Clochard. Really awful.

    Maybe the "cheap" versions of these very very expensive high-end wines are crap?

    Trout ? As in fish? You are correct Led. I quite like Trout. But Parsley is a herb I can't get a long with

    Trout, a fish, yes. It tasts delicious.

    Love that Bottle and menu Led. I am no fan of french wine so how was that vintage? Duck is one of our favourites. 

    Thanks, CP. The Grand Cru was quite nice but not outstanding. I got a red wine from Côtes du Luberon as a christmas present and I'm looking forward to this bottle. I love the French wines.

    Today's menu:
    Char or trout (don't know what's the accurate translation) stuffed with fresh parsley and dill - it was fantastic
    Horseradish sauce, compound butter, potatoes and corn salat
    And the wonderful Grüne Veltliner white wine from South Tyrol

    Next stop: New Year's Eve dinner
