Beer, delicious, Dinner, Family, Food, wine

Lockdown.   We were all glued to the TV 5pm 23rd March 2020.  Our Boris Johnson, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.  The children did not make a sound.  The day we all changed forever

As life progressed through the lockdown we have all come to be like Darwins Finches – evolving in our environments.  So far life is pretty much the same.  The major difference is #Shopping, which I adore.  Don’t take me to Shopping Malls or large department stores – All I want is Food Markets & Food Halls !!!

I miss shopping for food so much I find it’s the one and only upsetting part of Lockdown.  I now have a Vegetable / Fruit Man who drops the most delicious fresh vegetables and fruit at my door.  I have my most amazing HERO in My Butcher Matthew https://www.facebook.com/mitchellsbutchers533/.  Matthew Mitchell’s butchers Lytham Road Blackpool has been my butcher for years – now he delivers to my doorstep.  I adore my sweet sweet Milkman he is also a star and supplies the freshest milk and cream three times a week to my front door.

I bake bread 4 days a week.  I am love being home in the Kitchen.  I have seven to feed in my family home now and we are here for the Lockdown and beyond.

Here is my list of dinners we have had each day during lockdown.   Lucky for us the family meals have not changed too much though.  My favourite time of day is when the family sitting and eat together each evening ……….

WOW just fallen over a little GEM

 

Only been opened 2 months – Totally Love and ADORE this Bistro Mediterranean The very best #Falafel I have ever tasted even in the Middle East – A Gyro / Doner to die for – Beautiful Lamb and Beef wrap served with French fries Nothing else needed apart form the most perfectly served White wine – crisp Apples – Sauvignon Blanc

This is now my new Favorite in Katy Texas – Two-minute walk from the OFFICE what could be better – Nothing Shear Perfection 100 out of a 100 x

http://www.docogrill.com/

Know Your Doner

With roots dating all the way back to the 18th century and the Ottoman Empire, Doner is meat -lamb, beef, veal or chicken- that we season and grill to perfection on our vertical rotisseries. And because it cooks vertically, it’s a self-basting miracle that ensures all of the flavorful goodness we put into it, stays right where it’s supposed to. Doner literally means “turning” or “rotating” and it’s becoming more and more popular all over the world. Isn’t that why you’re here?

To know thy doner is to love thy doner!

Pure Love

The Very Best Chicken- Beef Stock Ever

Beef, bone broth, Chicken, delicious, Family, Healthy, stock, wine

  • 2kg chicken wings I use about 24 chicken wings
  • 2 tbsp. skimmed milk powder
  • Extra Virgin Olive oil
  • 2 large onion, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 8 Large carrot, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 3 celery stalks chopped
  • 10 button mushrooms, quartered
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
  • Large Pinch of Salt – Grinding of Pepper
  • Half bottle white wine
  • Any mixed herbs you have left over or fresh of your choosing You can use dried is you wish too

Act 1

Roughly Chop all the Vegetables, place in a large roasting tin with the peeled garlic

Place Chicken wings on top

Sprinkle over the Milk Powder

Slosh over a good sprinkling of Olive oil

Salt and pepper

Place in a hot over, roast for an hour, keep checking and turning the wings so they go brown, stir the vegetables so they do not stick

Act 2

Place everything in a large stock pot, pop in the herbs and wine, cover with cold water and bring to a boil

Skim the stock until clear to get rid of all the impurities

Leave to simmer with the lid on for at least 3 hours, check the water level keeping it topped up to cover the meat

 

Act 3

Turn off the heat and strain into another large pan – crush all the wings and vegetables to release all the juices

Back on the heat to a rolling boil

Simmer and reduce to half

 

Act 4

Turn off the heat and when cold place in the fridge overnight to go very cold

 

Act 5

Next day take off all the fat, it will come off really easy

 

Act 5

Store in pots in the freezer, you will always have homemade Chicken Stock, you will never buy a cube ever again

 

You can also do the same with BEEF BONES about 10 large beef bones –  just switch the White wine to Red

If you do not wish to use Wine, just replace with more water

Enjoy Happy Cooking
