so my lovely boyfriend cooked pork chops with apple and stilton and crushed potatoes with rocket and lemon.
I know Mrs R loves this, might make it at the weekend.
What's for tea tonight? (#8)

I reckon the chorizo would be interesting, leaks a lot of oil though so would turn it into a completely new dish (might curdle the cheese sauce)... erm
Really? I chopped some up and added it to carbonara last week and it stayed a bit tough and leathery, not very oily. Maybe I'll try a bit of everything and see what works

As Mrs SFM has sodded off to Hungary with work, I am on my own for my birthday so will be indulging myself with some Chinese Beef in Oyster Sauce folowed by a blackberry and ginger cheesecake - all washed down with a cheeky Viognier and a couple of rums

Allioli is just garlic pounded with salt and oil. It's a Catalan sauce and has no egg yolk in at all. Besides, garlic has an emulsifying agent within it, so it looks just like a mayonnaise, but less fattening than a mayonnaise with egg yolk/oil in it
TruXta was talking about non-Catalan aioli though, which is garlic mayonnaise. And it's not the egg that makes it calorific, it's the oil!

I don't like bacon - I do like macaroni cheese served with a baked marrow/tomato/garlic side though!

Happy Birthday sfm, I hope you enjoy your birthday tea and get lots of lovely presents from Hungary when she gets back!
I took something out of the freezer this morning. I suspect it is lamb curry. I hope it is lamb curry.
I'll be eating it on my own when I get back from yoga so I'll probably just toast a pitta bread to go with it.
Pizza, garlic bread, and salad tonight, after packing and red medicine, and spliffage, obv

Brilliant sfm - much appreciated!!
I absolutely fucking LOVE blackberries - I don't normally like fruit, but blackberries are a free wild fruit from my childhood that even now, if I see them ripe anywhere, I HAVE to have a handful of them
My mother used to make this blackberry and apple jelly - also one of the nicest things I've ever eaten in my entire life

No probs - the blackberries I've used have been in my freezer since last year and you can add them (or indeed any other fruit of your choice) fresh or frozen to the recipe. The good thing about this recipe is that most of the quantities are approximate so you can improvise to your heart's content and it'll still work out OK. Good luck!

Was it the cooking type of chorizo or the one that's more like salami?

Dunno, I didn't know there was a difference. A quite dry one I bought in Waitrose. Is there a way to tell the difference? Dryness I would guess.
