GWRS - try making some. It's easy? Trouble is we don't really eat much bread so I have a store cupboard full of jams and jellies I make from fruit from the garden or neighbours including quince jelly from last year. We'll be testing the new quince preserves recipe with ice cream this evening.
That chuck looks good Dove. Apart from pushing spiced butter under teh skin I haven't stuffed a chicken for decades. Usually do 'm spatchcocked for speed and lots of crisped skin. Have dusted mine with sumac for dinner tonight.
Onion, bacon and potato are heavenly Liri. No wonder I like tariflette so much! Wine and Reblochon and maybe some cream too. Yummy.

Wow ....mouth watering mains......just made MIL a simple vanilla ice cream covered in homemade blueberry sauce with cinnamon and vanilla with crushed shortbread .......I know the judges would say ......not very inventive !......and you know what I would say to that
Thats the one, Obelixx. When we last went to Singapore, the Old Colonial area(Fullerton and Raffles hotel) was on the sea front. Then they turned part of the sea into more land, built the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, with a very expensive shopping arcade and casino on one side, and the Marina Bay park on the other. We splashed out (3 nights)and had a room on the 52nd floor. The views were amazing. The swimming pool goes across the top of three towers. The shopping arcade was like Vogue bought to life. Fendi, Chanel, Jimmy Choo, Louis Vuitton, Burberry, all the expensive watch manufacturers at the exit from the casino, presumably so you had something to spend the winnings on. I've never seen so much garish stuff at silly prices in one place. There must be a lot of money swilling around Singapore. The tennis tournament was on at the time, so pro tennis players coming out of lifts with an entourage was a common sight, as was security keeping out non residents from going in the lifts to go to the pool.
I just watched a preview for the Blue Planet tonight. My sort of programme. I've put it on record in case I fall asleep again. Last night I hit the wall at 6pm, went to bed, then awoke at 4am.
LIdl have quince paste in little jars in the run up to Christmas most years. I think that Damson cheese is better for UK cheeses, but Quince paste squares to go with Manchego.
I suspect you'll find quinces in farmers' markets or just a good local greengrocer's GWRS. They're in season now. Quince paste is very different from the jelly.

Had a lovely time today. Gravad Lax made by SonIL and oysters, then roast pork with real crackling, SIL went to a butcher and ordered it as the French usually take the skin off, then a selection of yummy patisseries. Son 1, who lives on the edge of Burgundy, brought some really good wine. But I lost a filling on the crackling, son 2, the Dentist, will repair it tomorrow.
We caught the train after lunch, but it wasn't the steam one as it's boiler failed the inspection so it's being repaired. It was a diesel engine. All the staff were dressed in Halloween outfits, so were the children. But the engine went wrong before we'd got very far and wouldn't go more than 5kms an hour! We were supposed to stop half way and have pumpkin soup for the grownups and sweets and soft drinks for the children and someone was going to read a scary story to the children, then back to the train for the second stage to a picturesque water mill and games for the children. But that didn't happen. We took nearly 2 hours to get to the first stop, the whole journey should take 40 mins. So we just had the refreshments while an engineer came and found the problem then we returned to the start. But it was fun all the same and the grandchildren played with other children on the train. It's an old line that was closed and a group of retired people have taken it over and run it through the summer.
Glad I recorded the Strictly results.

Completely off-piste ....but should we now see Sir Lewis Hamilton in the NY list ?
