Ah bliss. A night in with some of Dick's Chowder, a bottle of expensive wine and "Stella Dallas" on DVD.
The expensive wine is my new plan. I am going to see if I spend less money on booze if I buy GOOD wine and only drink a glass of it each night rather than downing whole bottles of cheapo plonk willy nilly. So far so good. Mind you, the glasses here are like goblets...
I'm not sure if Dick's Chowder is fancy enough for the book. Luckily he was quite a chef so we have quite a few other recipes to choose from. I like the sound of Truck Driver's Welsh Rarebit. Might give that a whirl...

I've been toying with that very same wine idea too. How's it working for you?
At the moment I'm getting the cheapo stuff, downing a bottle a night, but trying to limit those nights to one in three, and staying dry the rest of the week. Well, the occasional G&T perhaps, but that's not really what you'd call booze, is it.
So far so good. My £15 bottle of Chateuneuf de Pape was started on Saturday night and there is probably 2 small glasses left in it. REMARKABLE for me that some wine in a bottle remains undrunk and in my eye-line. I was out last night though and managed to drink 2 and a half pints of beer so it's not exactly Temperance Week x
