My fungi phobia is abating and I was quite surprised about how much I liked these. Even though the little critters looked WEIRD, they tasted good. I made them with something quite funky I found in Morrison’s. A jar of “mixed mushrooms” in oil. I tried to find a picture of them on Google to no avail. I fear they are the kind of thing you find once by chance and then never, ever see them again. I loved the label on the jar – really old fashioned. If I ever find them again I’ll post a picture. Other ingredients were spinach, tomato and french dressing…
Vic, Corinna and Kieron came round for another Mad Men night but due to my last minute Annie antics I didn’t have episode 3 and only episode 4. I spent most of the day trying to download episode 3 to no avail. I even spent £20 on a month’s subscription to some site I thought would allow me to do this, but alas no. So I’ll have to think of a few things to download instead to get my money’s worth.
I made Roast Duck with Orange Sauce from my chum Alastair Hendy’s Home Cook cookbook. I do so love his recipes. And I always think fondly of his mum when I read the instructions as she appears so often as his inspiration in this book. The duck was lovely and Corinna made a delicious Marble Cake for pudding.
And now, Claire Teal on R4 – bliss…
Thanks Cary! Your canapes were great!
