Decided to have the ten quid tapas menu at Evuna, Deansgate, before the Leonard Cohen event.

My favourite tapas in Manchester atm.

Excellent house red.

Been to Nutters, wowzers! Out of this world.

Roast Rib of Beef, two bone size. Roast potato, mashed, onion gravy made from the juices, cauliflower & broccoli cheese and Yorkshire puds.

With a nice, heavy Barbera d'Alba wine.

Rather good, rather too much and rather think I will have cold cuts tomorrow.

Had the same. Well virtually the same.

Cauliflower cheese with a roast and gravy though? Big no-no for me at least!

Ahh, I'm glad it's not just me. I plan on having cauliflower cheese at some point this week, with a piece of gammon.

Yep gammon and cauliflower cheese is great.

I don't like the mixing of the cheese sauce and gravy!

I have a cracking recipe for cheese sauce. It involves mature Cheddar, Gruyere and paprika.

A la masterchef: pour gravy onto plate to a good depth, place dollop of cheese sauce into centre of gravy. With back of spoon squish into dollop and spiral outwards leaving a trail of cheese sauce mingling into the gravy in a groovy spiral. Add roast pots and meat around circumference of plate; alternate with cauliflower. Eat. What could be finer?

To be absolutely honest it wouldn't be what I would do normally but it was a celebration meal for #2 son on him getting his first job post graduation and it's what he asked for.

It ate just fine, but not in my normal mixes.

... & Bish, the rib of beef was up there with the very best. mmmmm to the meat eaters.

[William the White]

Rosé banned for the next seven months

THE comsumption of rosé has been banned for the next seven months, pending a review at Easter.

Genuine connoisseurs of the wine will still be allowed to drink it as long as they apply for a special license, pass a grape trivia test and conceal the beverage with brown paper packaging.

The ruling is being enforced after this summer’s soaring temperatures saw a 400 per cent increase in the number of middle class women who loudly compared the UK to Tuscany before being sick into a bin.

Public health officer Tom Logan said: “The chemical composition of rosé automatically makes it a bit common as soon as August is over.

“In the summer, an executive with the pink stuff all over his TM Lewin cuffs looks dashing and urbane. When he’s still in that state come September, he looks like he’s en route to Mallorca.”

He added “Sometimes people in a certain income bracket need to be protected from themselves. You know what I mean.”

Mother-of-four Francesca Johnson said “It’s absolutely right that the government are doing this. Autumn is time to stop having fun, button up our cardigans and be utterly miserable until Christmas.

“If my husband hadn’t been forced to get off the Pinot blush, he wouldn’t have any interest in showing up at Goldman Sachs. He’d still be singing Get Lucky all day long while wearing the neoprene Morph onesie he got for Secret Garden Party.”

“I’ve already replaced my lunchtime drink with a nice white burgundy. If you put a drop of kir in, you’d swear it was Blossom Hill.”
