Weekend plan

We're off to the Bristol Harbour Festival after lunch of scrambled egg, smoked salmon and toast. The great thing about this lunch, is that it's quick and really filling. Sharing a small pack of salmon is a bit of a treat, but we're celebrating the sunshine!

I'm sure we'll be sampling all the local produce at the festival at some point. Quite fancy the local pies at Pie Minister. As we will be walking around for a while, and on our feet for most of the time there, I'm sure we will have worked up enough extra calories to dig in and enjoy the food on offer just like everyone else will be doing. We're not sure how the day will unfold so will shop around and prepare for all eventualities! Then, if we do end up back at home for dinner, there's something here waiting to be cooked.

For Sunday we've decided on brisket (belly) of beef. We have been promised good weather - but you never know in England... We were watching an American programme where the beef was cooked on the BBQ and we really fancy trying this out. It does look good. If the weather turns sour, we can always pot-roast the brisket and have it with some Yorkshire puds. Either option sounds great for a lazy Sunday.

We hope to go to the fishmonger today and pick up some salmon and some grey mullet. The grey mullet is one of our favourite curried fish recipes for the BBQ. If we can get this, it may be on the menu tonight if we end up eating in.
