Potential for a hangover fairly high this weekend? Here’s a cure! I had to test this myself for the cocktail book I am working on with Mr Rathbone as he is not a fan of tomato juice. He has a way with words and almost always comes up with a pithy comment about each of...
When you wake up on a Tuesday morning during a pandemic and the news that greets you is that singing and dancing is now illegal in pubs it is easy to think that ALL FUN is cancelled. Now and forever. There is still fun to be had of course. But we are going to have...
When I made these a while back they looked like a right dog’s dinner so I loved the way Nathalie served these up – on individual spoons. Very sophisticated. These were very popular and Nathalie and I discussed possibly doing these with cherry tomatoes next time. The sauce is good and mustard-y which brings out...
Fish are BIG when they are fresh out of the sea. We bought a grey mullet from the Company Store and the nice man there filleted it for us so I could fashion it into Errol’s unusual fish dish. Look at the SIZE of it! It was absolutely delicious but we couldn’t eat it all. ...
Errol’s coffee enfused leg of lamb is my recipe of the month. I heartily recommend it – delicious! If you make it I would LOVE to see photos and have a little report on how it turned out. I’ve got two reader’s reports to blog – one for the Diana Dors Easy Fruit Cake and...
Oooh, Errol’s leg was fabulous. His recipe was for a 6lb leg but I only bought half a leg (2lb) as it was dinner for two at Silver Screen Suppers Towers yesterday. I had ascertained that Mr R is very partial to lamb so I tempted him over with the promise of a coffee doused...
I decided that if my date for tonight cancelled again I would give up on him – even though he’s the first single man I’ve met that I fancy for what seems like forever. And he has done, so I’ve put myself back on the internet dating scene. Having enormous fun already – and I’ve...
Aw Errol – you were such a softy really. Are you on a BOAT with that cat?! I’m recovering from a late night DJing job at probably the nicest wedding we have ever played at. The bride was so HAPPY. I’ve been to so many weddings lately where the bride just doesn’t seem to be...
“If I had to live my life again, I’d make the same mistakes, only sooner.” Last night saw extreme Silver Screen Supperage in action. Dinner al fresco which began with Tallulah’s favourite tipple the French 75. Followed by Adolph Menjou’s Spiced Venetian Cheese hors d’oevres, Errol Flynn’s Baked Fish Havanaise and Joan Blondell’s Peach and...
“Women won’t let me stay single and I won’t let me stay married.” Luckily Jack is nothing like Errol – he and Ginger were hitched on Saturday and that one is going to LAST. Those two were made for each other and now it’s official. We knew that after the glorious and loved up wedding...
“The public has always expected me to be a playboy, and a decent chap never lets his public down.” I am beginning to think that Errol was quite a cook. His Leg of Lamb absolutely rocked. It was the cup of coffee with cream and sugar for basting that intrigued my supper guests. Ginger’s beau...
Had a lovely re-run of Errol Flynn’s Baked Fish Havanaise with Paulette last night. It is the one and only dish that I can remember the ingredients for at the supermarket so I guess that makes it a house special. I had a bit of a cry last night discussing the disastrous state of my...
“The public has always expected me to be a playboy, and a decent chap never lets his public down.” Last night was Flynn Night on the boat. Radio 2’s excellent “Putting on the Style” was all about the swashbuckling “man’s man” so I cooked up some of his Devilled Tomatoes and accompanied them with his...
“It isn’t what they say about you, it’s what they whisper.” Mm. That was GOOD and DID cure my malaise for a few minutes. Easy to prepare, looked great on the plate and had all the cats on the island trotting up the ladder and poking their heads through the door to see what was...
Suffering from a bad case of malaise at the moment. Have been wandering listlessly around Richmond trying to cheer myself up with small purchases – several hair clips and two plectrums in the shape of skulls – to no avail. Am going to attempt Errol Flynn’s “Baked Fish Havanaise” tonight to see if it makes...
