I do like my food served on a hot plate, so I keep my stoneware plates in the oven - rather than in the cupboard, because otherwise, I forget to put them in to warm.

Re: What's Cooking?
I do have attractive serving bowls, it is just that I need to use plates and serving dishes which can be kept hot in the Aga - without crazing and turning out like jigsaw puzzles!!

Only those become weary of angling who bring nothing to it but the idea of catching fish.

Re: What's Cooking?
About once a year we splurge and buy a few lobsters from Maine. Tonight my wife made lobster chowder. Tomorrow we'll have steamed lobster.
The chowder, as always, turned out great. The recipe is here:

Re: What's Cooking?
I've got a lobster in my freezer and didn't quite know what to do with it.
I'm going to make this, thanks Geo. My lobster is not very big and comes from Canada. Soup is a good idea.

Re: What's Cooking?
geo, if you're not careful you'll have a hoard converging on your place for dinner! That is a food pin-up.

I know, it is, isn't it? Now, my food always tastes OK but it usually looks as though it has been in a road traffic accident!!DWill wrote to Geo:

I'm no good at pretty food.
However, I am now cooking Sunday dinner and today it is fillet of lamb - that's what we call the top bit of the leg over here. It is only a small joint but it is beautiful Welsh Spring lamb - and I've pushed slivvers of garlic into the cracks, and covered it over with a very buttery butter paper. Then I've put the lid on top and left it in a medium oven. You can cook lamb at a nice low temperature and it doesn't dry up.
We'll have boiled potatoes with it and carrots and savoy cabbage. I'm using some bottled mint sauce but adding fresh chopped mint to it, because there isn't enough fresh mint available just now.
I've got some fresh cream victoria sponge, to which I've sandwiched some fresh raspberries. It's only leftovers, but I'll make some custard to pour over.....I like using up leftovers....hate throwing anything away.

Here's a lobster of my husbands (I mean the painting is his!) and if memory serves me correctly I think we ate this after he painted it! (the lobster not the painting)

Re: What's Cooking?
Oh, now I see!!
Super duper painting of a lobster. He's caught its lobsterishness.
He's a 'proper' artist - like Norman Rockwell.
Norman Rockwell is my favourite artist....and he's American!!!

We used to go to Maine every summer and I sort of developed a taste for lobster. Even the local McDonald's up there has a lobster roll on its menu. These particular lobsters are from Stonington, Maine which is near where we used to go.
I'm not much of a cook myself, but fortunately I married an excellent one!
