Has he tried taking fish oil for the cholesterol? My triglycerides are up to. The doc put me on a med for that UGH!!!

It was pouring today, high winds, flooding, just miserable. It seemed like a good day for comfort foods. I made mashed potatoes, pot roast and carrots.

My lady is making some sort of surprise dinner when I get back tonight! Big deal as she rarely cooks! Can't wait!

Well?

Shepherds pie tonight. Yum yum!

LOVE Sheperd's pie. I made it once, and decided it was WAY too much work.

My son and I went to the local pub for dinner a couple weeks ago, and I was happy to see shepherd's pie as a special. I jumped all over it.

Aren't you just supposed to eat it?

SUPERIOR Jersey Shore pizza two nights in a row...

...should have a salad or something tomorrow, but it's Football Sunday... so it'll be whatever + Lipitor

Hot beef sandwiches and potato wedges today. Again courtesy of my good self

Do you deliver to Long Island?

Love to. I make a mean hot beef sandwich.

Cool.... set me up. I'll provide the beer.

Sounds like a deal

We ate at this restaurant last night. Le Relais De Venise One of my husband's coworkers was recently transferred to the US from London. Apparently, it's quite popular there.

There's only one entree on the menu, sliced steak with frites. They give you some and when you're done, bring over another helping. You also get a salad. I ordered a creme brulee for dessert, which was watery, something I've never seen before.

For $46 a person, after drinks, tip and tax, I've had far better meals.

Leave it to the French to gay up a sliced sirloin and fries and charge 50 bucks for it .

Even worse ... it's a buffet with only one dish. On the bright side, they have waiter service.

The waitresses were wearing those cute black dresses with the little white aprons, so maybe that's why guys like it.

OK... THAT'S different (and explains the bill).

I made catfish tonight, with "fish and chips" batter after the smoked paprika rub. Never done it before, and should've know that catfish would take longer than the stated 5 minutes to finish cooking (had to finish it off in the oven). A lighter fish next time, but it was still pretty good... still learning! Served with pre-made polenta in the toaster oven, and plenty of hot sauce.

Geoffy,

Codfish is your best best for fish and chips. It's firm and fleshy, but light so it cooks quick and evenly. It's also widely available and usually reasonably priced. Check it out and let me know.

Geoff, I find that catfish is best in an egg-wash and then a flour/cornstarch mix that I add some seasoning, including cayenne pepper. Then I fry it in canola oil. It's perfect.

Last night we took the kids to this place

www.giannis-ristorante.com

It is in a town called Morpeth,about 15 miles north of Newcastle on the way to Scotland. We have been here several times before due to friends living there and it is a top notch place.
Last night i had garlic breads as starters,cos we had the kids and thats what they wanted so we ordered one of each. I then had the Cannelloni and finally some tirimasu. Yum yum yum...

That's a great menu, Yogi. Very extensive.

There are quite a few Italians in Scotland, aren't there?

Yes PB. In Scotland and England both. Lots of great restaurants like the one above to choose from.

Check your pm, Yogi.
