the local Chief of Police here, invited himself and Sonia, his wife, to dinner at our house

Won't be for a while, as they're busy, we're busy, but my dilemma - what to cook!

Do I go full on English and do something like a shepherds pie with cabbage?

Or should I do something like chicken breasts, wrapped in presunto, with garlic mushrooms, broccoli and roast potatoes or dauphinoise?

Or something else.

And no, I don't really want to do sausage, egg and chips, with baked beans

I would suggest that you come up with a typical English meal.

I'm sure they would appreciate that.

Something that can cook it's self while you pour the drinks
Shepard pie not cabbage tho it tends to linger

Not the cabbage here Saundra, it's lovely

Ho that's ok then keep pouring the drinks

wonder if he will ask if you have receipts for everything ?

Not when he's off-duty, I hope

But he did tell us off yesterday, for not changing the address on the car log book before now - so we're doing that on Monday

And we'll sort Grumpy out with a Portuguese driving licence, I'm ok, I can wait a few more years, but I might just change it.

Just don't make pigs in blankets for the horses doovers!

Sunday roast, obviously - Rosbif, Yorkshires, roasties and two veg, with lashings of gravy (from a packet, of course, Ton ) Soup to start, trifle to finish.

The beef here WM, is rubbish. Although I did manage to buy - once - a rib of beef, which wasn't too bad.

And lumpy gravy??
