Hope this works

I was doing to do dauphoinoiseey potatoes tonight or how ever you spell that blasted things.

got the garlic, used my slicer thingy for the spuds, got the creme fraiche - a rartity -

No milk.

Well, I had milk, but we only have that vile stuff and it had gorn orf.

Had another minor melt-down (my second this week) but decided to use the poatoes, garlic and creme fraiche, along with a large carton of
bechmel sauce, we we have in abundance here.

Well, it was either that or try and find a shop open - at this time of night? not in Portugal - or throw those spuds out and have steamed ones.

It's in the oven and I'm keeping my fingers crossed

Bluddy gorgeous

And apologies for the typoes, I've been on the beer and in the sun

Lol Ton I'm forever finding I don't have the one ingredient I 'always' have
I don't really do proper dauphinoise, too rich for me, I just use milk, heated with the garlic, and a bit of grated parmesan on top

[tonicha]

I couldn't eat it all Di - yes it was rich, but only because himself asked for a gert load of cheese on top, in caee it was nasty.

It was really good. May try it again . when I'm more sober

Yum yum yum!!!! Can you tell it's WW tomorrow and I've hardly eaten all day???? I've been following the foodie threads around like a starved thing!!

[tonicha]

I've told Grumpy, that, as from tomorrow, we're on a small portion of food, no beer or wine diet.

Apart from Wednesday, as we're going down to the Capri

[Kaz]

Monday night is my 'treat' night I'm blowing some of my 'extra' points and making an apple and pear crumble

[Diflower]

Yes Kaz we can, like a vulture you are, and not of the cultural variety

Are you going for my birthday Ton?

[Kaz]

[tonicha]

Is it your birthday on Wednesday Di?

It was just an excuse to see Benfica on the tele
