    What are you doing on this wet, windy afternoon?

    The weather here in Preston is awful - its chucking it down and it has been very windy all day. So what are you doing this 'orrible afternoon?

    I'm doing housework , yep folks! housework

    Dexter is barking is head off at the rain bouncing off the lean-to roof, and chasing the vaccuum cleaner around and trying to chew it.................

    the joys of the Dexter household on a wet and windy Saturday afternoon!!!

    Is anyone doing anything more exciting? Lets face it, anything would be more exciting!! LOL!

    I've just had to come back inside after an hour in the garden extending my veggie patch, cos its too hot. (Sorry Bernie).
    Now watching a bit of English footy before going back out.

            Lamb done to a Greek recipe.
            Using butter not olive oil.

              Well, I'mm sat in the kitchen looking out at equally nasty weather Bernie. Not doing anything much, just stopping the kids from bickering, and pootling round the Vine.

                That sounds interesting. A Greek recipe that uses butter rather than olive oil.
                Sent from my pc cos I don't have an i-phone.

                    You use neck fillet,diced into very small cubes.
                    First you brown the lamb in the butter then take it out the pan.
                    Then you cook onions & garlic(lots to taste)in the same pan then put the meat back in & add peppers, mushrooms, a tin of chopped tomatoes,parsley(or chopped spinach will do)a tea spoon of lime juice salt & pepper & tomato puree.
                    Cook as you would chilli.
                    If you want you can add a glass of wine.
                    All quantities are to taste.

                    Serve with rice or small pasta.

                        Done this "dish" many times and it never comes out the same twice owing to the fact that I never weigh any thing I just guess.
