I have shopping to do when I finish work. and then coq au vin to make and then it will be 'Cocktail hour'.
This is my new tradition at 'The Wickets' ( now 2 weeks old), its my civilised step into the weekend. I have been busy finding an appropriate cocktail for tonight. This is not as easy as it sounds as
1. I do not ( surprisingly) have a well stocked bar.( lots of fizz not so hot on all the spirits etc)
2. I am using only what I have in the house. ( will buy as needed)
More info about tonight's cocktail will come next week.
Last week I made a martini with a twist.
It was a rosemary martini.
Gin, extra dry vermouth and olives stuffed with pimentos which had been 'marinated' in their brine with rosemary added.
They were then threaded onto a stick of rosemary to garnish the martini.
I had some nibbles with this and it was just as I had hoped, awfully civilised ( even for me).
The rest of the weekend I will just take as it comes, although I will be delivering food to my poorly sister.
I also have a sander! and I am going to sand THE CHAIR down again and see if I can finally get a better finish before I take it to the tip!
Wonderful word of the day
Pot-Valiant
meaning bold or courageous under the influence of alcohol
Something that I don't intend to be after cocktail hour.
So time to head off and see today through.
Bon weekend tout le monde
