Passing the Acid Test with Flying Colours

Published by helen at 8:12 pm under Not Nigella

Well, this evening as I walked home through the most dreich, miserable, cold, wet Edinburgh evening (the streets are flooding and we’re about to go back out into it) I realised that, had I not known that Dougal was preparing tea, the thing I would make when I got in the house would be the cheaty Macaroni Cheese. And I would make double so that I could gorge myself on it and then have the rest for breakfast. So I guess that means it was a success!

As it was Dougal made an old old old Delia Smith recipe for a gratin of sauteed leeks, with halves of boiled eggs and a very cheesy cheese sauce all popped under the grill. It did the trick.

A post about Quesadillas will follow at some stage. Now we’re off to the cinema!

    Have I mentioned that you have wonderful gastronomic adventures on a daily basis?

    Tee hee. Tis true. I also don’t have children!
