 .......... Friday21_2025  (FF21_2025)  -  Pieris in the back garden.

So last night, on a whim, I decided to make a Beef Stroganoff.
Hmmmm  -  no beef, no white wine (unusually), no sour cream ....... let's see what I DO have  ...... replace the beef with pork, replace the wine with gin (yep, gin) and replace the sour cream with Philadelphia spread (other cream cheeses are available).   Add the things I do have, onion, mushrooms, double cream, brandy, butter, oil, dill, paprika, beef stock, black pepper, salt, - then follow the recipe .......  cook some basmati rice ....  
As Himself remarked ... " not really a Beef Stroganoff then, is it? "

As Himself remarked again ...... (after eating a very healthy plateful) ......  " That was nicer than I expected - in fact, it was really good!!   We'll have it again "   Result!
A little happy dance ensued (me, not him).   :o))
