Last night my husband and I met up with Mr Jon Davis for dinner at The Butchers Hook and very nice it was too. We shared 60g of freshly carved ham and some cod goujons. I chose my usual Butchers Hook main course of steak and chips, which was as tasty as it always followed by a French cheese board and a glass of vintage port. Jon very cheekily paid the bill so thank you for a lovely meal.
As Jon paid, I thought it was only fair to make everyone margaritas back at the flat. We watched the new episode of Shooting Stars and laughed. A whole lot.
Kenny went to work late with a banging headache and I feel the same. The kitchen is covered in raspberries and strawberries and half a bag of ice has melted all over the cooker. I'm sad to say that my lovely dinner didn't stay down long enough to be able to count it as part of my daily intake. Nice.
I think I might retire the smoothie maker to the back of the cupboard for a while...
On a plus note, I worked out the perfect recipe for a berry margarita.
Mrs Hackneys Recipe for a Berry Merry Margarita:
Makes enough for 3 people.
Warning: Extremely tasty and fruity and very easy to drink but very, very lethal.
Ingredients:
1/2 Bag of ice (this fills my smoothie maker about 2 thirds.)
6 shots of tequila
Gran Marnier - Bubble one, two, three
1/2 punnet of strawberries
1 x punnet of raspberries
Lemon Juice (in a carton) Bubble one, two
Lime Cordial - Bubble, one, two, three
Lemon Cordial - Bubble one, two
Orange Juice (in a carton) Bubble one, two
OK, you're probably wondering what Bubble means. Well, it quite simply means you tip the liquid in and say out loud 'bubble, one, two etc' then stop pouring. :-) Don't ask, it's a bartender thing.
Notes:
Remember to put the ice away.
Remember to wipe down any spilled berries in a bid not stain the benches.
Remember to take a milk thistle tablet before you start drinking and another one before you go to bed if you don't want a hangover.
Enjoy :-)
