Eee by gum. Charley proclaimed this to be probably the best Silver Screen Suppers dinner so far, and as he has been the recipient of so many, that is saying something. But even though I do say so myself, it was indeed delicious. What I love about so many of these recipes is their simplicity. Just good old fashioned ingredients (lamb, kidneys, potatoes, onions, dripping, water and bacon) and sloooooooow cooking = delicious, delicious, delicious dinner.
Charley got his first look at the splendour of my DVD projector. At first he poo-poohed my weird old oversized sofa and sat on the velour chair instead. But he soon joined me on the 2 person settee for the best view of our excellent comedy selection for the evening. Now I seem to have aquired a proper sense of humour I asked Charley to bring a selection of funny stuff. First we had a Laurel & Hardy short. The one where involving a jigsaw which is pretty apt for us… Then a 3 Stooges – ha ha. Pop Goes the Weasel! Then the genius that is WC Fields. I have decided that he MUST go in the Silver Screen Suppers book as I laughed so heartily at his antics and am checking the recipe spreadsheet right now…
Right, we have: Omelet Au Rum (of course), Brandied Peaches (natch) and Baked Spareribs with Sauerkraut – oh yummy. I am SO HAPPY that some kind of switch in my head has been flipped and I find all this stuff hilarious. I wonder what was wrong with me all those years ago when I had to go to bed halfway through a Marx Brothers movie?
I thought of you when I saw the Blog idea about celebrating living legends, over at Noir Girl and then I saw your post!
Did you want to try to do a tie in with, “Silver screen suppers?” I want to try to have otr shows that corespond with each star featured.
You and I might have to find a way to link our ideas to some of the featured stars without having the actual recipes or shows of a particular person. Yikes!
Anyway, it was cool to see you were interested and it made me feel very smart.
take care,
addie
Yes, I think that’s a great idea! We can all do something on the particular star of the month – or however it might be done. I’m sure some wonderfully collaborative creations are on the cards! Jx
