Calm before the storm...

Nah, not talking about the storm a brewing for Monday, talking about our weekend off before we get back to hosting lots of Griddle Nights in November. To be honest, I can't wait really. I miss it. We haven't hosted a night for a while. So we are in Shoeburyness, by the wild winds and stormy Thames Estuary.

Today we had lunch at Osborne's, an amazing outpost of seafood in Leigh-on-Sea. We demolished prawns. roll mops, smoked sprats and dressed crab. Picked up some Cornish Squid - which I peppered. floured and fried as a snack... before we devoured venison steak smothered in shallot and wild mushroom, rum sauce, washed down with just a touch of Marlborogh Pinot Noir. Oooof.

Also on a cheese and Ale mission, so making sure we load our stomachs full of these delights too.
