Toulouse 0 Posted February 14, 2010 That looks sooo good!!!I only had soup actually this evening, was a bit stuffed from yesterday (had to go over FIL's place and they cooked for us) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bee1 0 Posted February 14, 2010 I had chicken liver salad - love my liver and need to top up my iron. Yesterday I had noodles in my favorite Japanese restaurant in Soho (went with Mr B) and then we went to Covent Garden to Ben's Cookies - it was to die for. Someone got a packet in Mr B's office and he said I have to try them - it was heaven!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TanyaRC 0 Posted February 14, 2010 Sorry Bee ...... liver does not excite me ...... The Japanese and the cookies sound good though ..We are having steak, potatoes, mushrooms ( maybe with crab stuffing... haven't decided yet) and green beans ....... I am eating out of the pantry and don't want to go to the store ..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toulouse 0 Posted February 14, 2010 I have to admit I don't like the smell of liver (when Dad makes it, because he's the only one who eats liver). I always try to taste a small piece, but not too keen on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bee1 0 Posted February 14, 2010 I love liver but I like them meduim (like my steak). I saw recipe for ths lovely Valentines meal on SW website - honey glazed pork chops with red pepper and spring onion mash (if things would have been little bit different now that what I would have been making today). I love making different flavour mash potatoes - my favorite - horseraddish, whole grain mustard, spring onion or cheese. It can really make big difference to your meal if you flavour your mash potatoes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
