In other news, last night saw the start of our very own "Come Dine With Me". It's one thing doing it with strangers but I'm not convinced it's a particually good idea unless you're keen to fall out with your friends and partners. Anyway, everyone else was very excited and so I've been over-ruled. First up ... Gemma with a menu as follows (as presented by her on the night).

Fizz & Nibbles

--

Onion Bisque with Chilli Oil

--

Crispy & sticky Chicken with New Potatoes & Tomatoes, with a Butternut Squash & Red Onion Salad

--

White Chocolate & Raspberry Tart with Vanilla Ice Cream

The results were put in a sealed envelope and will be opened on the final night to see who out of the six of us (Gemma, me, Pete, Morag, Heather and Al) will be crowned champion. Unfortunately there's no £1000 to win! Next up, Pete (who allegedly reads this blog)
