Before Jackie and I repaired to The Royal Oak, I published today’s post without my customary coda.
Jackie enjoyed a very good burger meal with Amstel.
My choice was rump of lamb complemented by Merlot.
I Pressed Publish Prematurely
Ramblings
Damn, Derrick. I was about to sit down with my salad.
🙂 Thanks very much, Drew
I was so impressed with your gate climbing – I hadn’t noticed the lack of culinary delicacies you two enjoyed today. Does the absence of Elizabeth foretell her new home move has occurred?
Thanks, Pauline. Elizabeth dined with her son
Is there anything a good merlot doesn’t go with ha.
Not much. Thanks a lot, Alex
Mmmm
Thanks very much, Pleasant
Excellent food. Premature publishing is a problem for older bloggers. I just update when it happens. 😀
Thanks for the solidarity, Joseph
The meals look great, and I’m sure you both enjoyed them!
We did, Merril. Thanks very much
I always schedule to avoid such slip ups!
🙂 Thanks for that, Andrew
You are making me hungry!!!
Thanks a lot, Gael
Thank Goodness! I’ll be able to get to sleep now……..
🙂 Thanks a lot, Jessie X
Good food and wine choice 😉
Many thanks, Bridget
Oh, here we go! And photos of the meal! Both look delicious! 🙂
HUGS!!! 🙂
I hate to disappoint, Carolyn 🙂 Thanks a lot X
Yum, yum. Your photos are still lovely.
Thanks a lot, Arlene
Been there. Done that. But you have scratched on of my sore point: I am not a fan of having my dinner served on a plank of wood.
I SO agree! I think that next time they ask me if there is anything else I need, instead of asking for mayo I’ll ask for a plate!
How many times do we intend to take a stand. Don’t know about you, but I usually cave in.
Dear Jackie, Would you be happy to have a role in my next story? You would be one of the good guys.
The answer is “Yes, yes, yes, how exciting” 🙂
OK. Do you want to know beforehand or are you happy to wait and see it evolve?
Jackie doesn’t find it easy to get back onto posts once left – hence my being her spokesperson. She’ll be happy to wait. 🙂
Perfectly understandable. A joint effort is always good.
🙂
Neither is Jackie, Paol, but she says the burger is great – very meaty with a firm bread. Thanks very much.
Do they supply a snorkel with the roast? Is that pile of vegetation, dumped on top, to cling to, whilst waiting to be rescued?
I would have preferred chips, Brian. Many thanks
I’d have preferred something that the Culinary Queen prepared methinks
Definitely. We both chuckle
Derrick that food looks delicious!
It is, Gary. How pub food has changed in my lifetime 🙂 Thanks very much
I’ll take what Jackie had! That looks delish! My Derek said he’d take the lamb.
He’s a good man, Jill. Many thanks
Yummm
Thanks a lot, Lynn
I don’t care for lamb, but that looks soooooo good!! 🙂
Thanks very much, Dorinda
You’re welcome! Hope you enjoyed 😊
We did
I’ll take what Jackie had as well. Lamb is hit or miss with me and usually it’s a miss.
Thanks very much, Carol
The post makes me hungry!
🙂 Thanks again, Uma
A good wine hits the spot. I would pass on the meat though.
Thanks very much, Léa
Bon appetit Derrick!
As perchance has it, I’m eating my dinner now, and yes I’m having a hamburger too, with a glass(or Two) of a Zilzie Wines, Bulloak pinot noir, from Karadoc here in Victoria, a gentle fruity red and a soft lingering finish. Cheers, Derrick.
Cheers, Ivor 🙂
Pressing “Publish” prematurely – I can totally relate to that. 🙂
🙂 Thanks very much for the solidarity, Rabirius
You’re very welcome!
The food looks great!
It was. Thanks a lot, Maniparna
Rump of Lamb is a gourmets delight, and washed down with a Merlot is Heaven.
Cheers.
And cheers to you, Ian. Thanks a lot
Thanks very much HS reporter
Looks good!
🙂 Thanks very much, LL/PS
