So last night prepared the Tenderloin for tonight meal:
Eat: Beef Wellington, Red-Wine Jus, pan-fried tenderstem brocoli and a carrot and swede mash.
Drink: Finishing the bottle used for the Red Wine Jus, 2014 - Napa Valley, Stags Leap “Hands of Time” Red Blend
Photo to follow if I haven’t overcooked the meat 
(The pastry was a nightmare and wasn’t golden brown so I had to keep it in the oven a bit too long for my liking)
Edit: Success - shall we play rate my plate?
Are you in the “council cuisine (rate it then slate it)” group on Facebook? It’s hardly ‘council’ but they would love that 
I’m in one of those groups… but I have colleagues from my old job to slate it for me.
Those groups always say the same thing about steak that looks can be brought back to life… its tiring 
Especially tiring since the ultimate way to have a steak is blue, anything more than medium rare is just a flip flop😅
Honestly looks banging. 10/10, would have for dinner!
Definitely just found a host for ACC Fest 2022 
Please can we make this a thing?
I’m down for it
Just popped open a 2007 late bottled vintage, Cockburns Port…
…and should have finished it by midnight
The mac and cheese and bacon toastie from coasta is out of this world.
Was it actually any good? the flavour develops as a result of aging in the barrel not the bottle. Often port that has sat in the bottle for years on end is grim!
Not all port ages like this I should add. But i once witnessed a 10 year old bottle of port opened which was clearly past it
You’re talking about the Saturated fat? Salt? Cholesterol?
That sounds incredible!
Both.
Was… And still is superb…
Having another glass or three tonight…
Not eating yet, but Aldi have Wagyu steaks as a Special buy. I had one year or so and it was very good so I’m glad I managed to pick one up again.
If you like your steak and are near an Aldi, go go go!
First Christmas meal of the year tonight. I know its only November
I had mine during the week… The McDonalds Christmas stack was great
