It's been a long week, with lots of things going on from working away to debating competitions to cheese tastings. Our quality time together has been fairly rushed of late, which is unlikely to change as we head into Christmas. This means that when we get a Friday evening in together, we just want to relax and have fun, rather than get obliterated. We certainly are getting old!
So Friday night this week was a chicken and chorizo pizza with chips and home made remoulade, followed by mince pies with blue cheese and a viewing of Up!
Starting with the food, who wouldn't want to have chicken and chorizo pizza, with peppers mushrooms and jalapenos?! We also received a celeriac in our veg box last week. It went pretty well in soup, but whenever we go to France I have to have remoulade, so I thought this was the perfect opportunity to try a homemade version. Made with mayo, Dijon mustard, lemon and capers, it was pretty good but a little heavy on the moutarde! However, Joe usually doesn't like remoulade and I have won him over so it was a win!
Joe was also on mince pie duty, having been disappointed in his effort last week. This time he used the homage 2 fromage night so inspire some blue cheese mince pies, which were really good - that salty cheese brings out the flavour of the mince meat really well!
Post dinner entertainment was a viewing of Up, which I had never seen before. It was highly recommended by Wolf and Gelt last week, and I must admit I absolutely loved it (even if it made me a little teary - don't tell anyone!). If you have not seen this film, I can only suggest you find a copy and settle down to watch it, it's brilliant.
