I was supposed to be on Holiday but still have work to do. Then in the afternoon we went off to the garden centre in the baking heat, then did some gardening when we got home.
Then in the evening I made a Rick Stein meal, from one of their meal box's, which whilst not being cheap was really lovely and easy to do.
Starters were grilled scallops with a hazelnut & coriander butter, with some sourdough bread.
Mains were lobster Thermidor in a light cream & dry vermouth sauce flavoured with Parmesan cheese & mustard, with new potatoes & dressed salad.
Then afters was a chocolate pave, with chocolate sauce, crystallised hazelnuts, with Cornish clotted cream, oh my god it was unbelievable :-)
OK It wasn't cheap, especially with the bottle of Champagne but it was lovely and special.
