Fine Dining Report
 

Well here we go ....

Simply boiled the majorcan potatoes in some unsalted water, and then ate them with some ham ( Just a splash of salt ) ...... must say they were delicious, and would probably be very good cold with a salad .... have enough left to try that tomorrow, or I may even roast a couple as well.

However, the real test will be in August, when they will be consumed in PP ..... can't wait!!!

Acquired a supply of Mallorcan potatoes from Clitheroe market late this afternoon. :)

Is Mrs Clinkham back to full fitness or did you have to go on this expedition? ;).

Thank you for asking. Operation went 'swimmingly well' according to Doc, but, (there's always a 'but'..) one of the fastenings into the tibia* was over tightened and cracked the bone. So she has just completed 5 weeks with no weight on the offending leg whilst it healed. Just been given the all clear and the physio has got to work on her new knee. Now walking well, with crutches, and little pain. Things are looking positive.
However, she remains in the attitude of being attended to as she has become accustomed to, so I continue shopping and cooking for the next day or two.:rolleyes:

More importantly, had discussions with travel insurance people and have got a further 12 month cover at a reasonable cost, bearing in mind the list of declared 'illnesses' and costly claims last year.

I guess they were working on the theory that lightening won't strike in the same place again. I certainly hope so after last years events :eek: August in PP now worry free!

DO MAKE SURE you have cover and you declare everything that may affect your claim. You know it makes sense........

p.s. Sorry for digressing. Back to the thread - potatoes were approx 70p per pound. They are being sampled this evening, if Mrs C approves my suggested menu:(

My sympathies for Mrs Clinkham..I fell when we were out for Sant Antoni..fractured hip 6 weeks in wheelchair and 6 on crutches..Mr B is in the same boat as you ..head cook and bottlewasher as they say

I too digress...we purchased new season potaoes yesterday at Swansea Market..
Served with oven baked hake and a medley of veg...delicious they were too 😃😃

Commiserations to Mr B and best wishes to you for a full recovery. Perhaps Mr B could advise the recipe? I see brownie points available for producing something like that ;)

Ha ha...I made the meal 😉😉

Mallorcan potatoes, @ 90p per pound, have arrived in the local Tesco and have nudged the Cyprus spuds to one side.
My menu this evening was pork loin from Waitrose, Mallorcan spuds from Tesco and a bottle of excellent Malbec from Aldi. Finished off with a really sticky toffee pudding from Morrisions.
Unsure about the economies of going out of town to Waitrose when we have Aldi, Morrisons and Tesco positioned on the same roundabout in the town. I suppose the free coffee is the magnet, plus one can replenish the stock of Waitrose 'bags for life' for use in Aldi.....:rolleyes:

Majorcan Potatoes
 

Yes, eventually got around to trying them cold with a salad ...... just as I thought .... excellent!!!! However, noticed that Tesco had " sold out " of them very quickly indeed!! Hope more supplies are quickly on the way!

Great news for all you potato afficionados out there - Majorcan spuds back in stock at Tesco - still 69p for a 750 gm bag. I look forward to all the culinary reports to come, especially as James Martin is no longer on Saturday Kitchen!!!;)

Purchased in local market today...tonights menu..pork steak, cauliflower cheese and the potatoes of course 😉😉😉😉

Yes bought some at Tescos

Boiled with Fillet Steak and Caesar Salad Very nice !
