    Ohhhhh Twinny slinks back to the bus stop - stopping only to swig from the bottle..............and with a rumbling tummy.... :(

    And if you'd only had the guts to knock the door, you'd have got fed before slinking off home! ;)
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    I have to say that this is a big recipe, and although slightly expensive, well worth it. It's one of the best things I've cooked. Fabulous. Thanks lil_me for the link. :T

    :j Pleased it turned out well, marinades a bit faffy and it's expensive but worth it :D great stuff, see if I'd known you would have left overs I would have popped over. AWT does some darn good recipes and it's usually filling 'blokey' stuff as I call it, rich flavours usually with penty of meat, way most men prefer food from my experience. I use his recipes a lot, mainly free from the likes of BBC food website of course.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Well, I dont know about other recipes for beef bourguignon, but the smoked bacon really gave it a lovely smokey flavour throughout - my mates were suitably impressed!

    Definitely one I'll make again. :T
