I’ve set myself a rigorous testing schedule for 2011 and can already see it’s going to be hard to stick to it. I’m back in the wonderful world of internet dating and it is a right bun fight already! Paid my subscription on Monday and have been on two assignations this week.
The first guy seemed mortally offended when I said (after two drinks) that I had to get home and make some soup. He got in a right strop about it. But last night’s prospect had a much better reaction. When I said that I was planning a big soup he laughed and said, “What, to see you through the week?” Then in a very gentlemanly fashion he said he’d really enjoyed meeting me, would like to see me again and when might I be free? You can guess which one gets the cigar…
I’ve put together a new list of recipes that need a friendly eye cast over them so it would be great to get some volunteers for these. Just drop me an email – silverscreensuppers – at – yahoo dot co dot uk (trying to bamboozle the spammers there!) These are the top candidates:
Constance Bennett’s Spanish Chicken
Claudette Colbert Cake
Dolores del Rio’s Arroz Con Pollo
Gracie Fields Lancashire Hot Pot
Greta Garbo’s Swedish Meat Balls
Groucho Marx Matzo Balls
Humphrey Bogart’s Spanish Cream
Jessie Matthews’ Sunset Salad

Johnny Weissmuller’s Apricot Meringue Pie
Katharine Hepburn’s Eggplant in Casserole
Lillian Gish’s Lemon Pie
Rita Hayworth’s Angel Food Cake
Ronald Coleman’s English Pot Pie
Shirley Temple’s Chocolate Gravy
Thelma Todd’s Scripture Cake
Veronica Lake’s Spiced Beef With Peas
If you’ve emailed recently offering to test cook please forgive me for not getting back to you. As soon as my tax return is done I will be on it!
