If you could relocate to somewhere else in the UK where would it be?
Talking to my wife about maybe moving to Edinburgh (where she is from). Her parents are getting older and her mother is starting to have health problems, so would be better for my wife to be there.
It's a great city, could get a really nice family home there for the value of our flat in London.
So if I could find a decent job there could be good.

Where would you move to within the UK if you had the choice?

Best Finds
Once at the Leeds festival I found a full unopened bottle of Southern Comfort wedged into a hedge while I was taking a piss. I only assume the original owner needed somewhere to "park" it when he was pissing too and forgot all about it. Today I have opened my desk and half a Bourneville was there. My question to you, offtopic, is what is the best thing you have found.

Ok, so, this christmas, I get to do the starter, there are a couple of rules though.
1) It can't be anything messy on the day, not use up too many hobs or oven bits'n'bobs.

I'm thinking of doing scallops on a bed of some kind of puree, as that always goes down well when I cook it for people. I can do celeriac and bacon, pea and mint or butternut squash with honey/chili/cumin.

One thing that I'm thinking of making, the day before, would be to roast some butternut squash with a bit of honey, chili and cumin. Then making some pasta and stuffing it with the puree, so on the day I just have to boil it for 4-5 minutes. I'll have to make sure to use lots of selonima to stop it sticking. I was thinking of making 3 of these squares each, with a butterflied king scallop on top that has been dusted with a pinch of curry powder and griddle panned really hot and quick.... I think it'll be good enough in a show-off kind of way, and taste really nice, and it'll be really quick in terms of what I have to do on the day. It also won't be that expensive for me.

Or I might do a pea'n'mint puree in the shell, and do 3 scallops in the shell. That would be much much easier, and still really tasty. It's not really autermy/christmy though.

Do you have any ideas that I could do for the starter this christmas?

B4SH?
In an IRL conversation with several OT window-lickers last night the subject of a pre-Christmas* gathering in London was raised.

Who’d be up for it? Possible dates are Friday 9th, Saturday 10th, Friday 16th or Saturday 17th.

Start in a pub (possibly Mabel’s Tavern as that has worked well in the past) and then maybe get some solids somewhere.

If we can get a date agreed I will put something on the calendar.
