    More embarrassing when the clean is told "there might be a few wine corks about the place", only to find that she's quite thorough and she's managed to find a "lot" which have been shunted under sofas. Not nice when your cats show exactly how much you've been drinking over the past year

    They have developed a preference for champagne corks (the weight makes them more fun to play with).

    It's Kit-Kat wrappers with my cat. I've tried explaining to her that it's just a brand name, and that they're not actually for cats, but she still can't resist chasing around balled-up silver foil and wrappers. The minute she hears the distinctive sound of the foil being ripped, she comes running.

    Yorkshire pud and meaty gravy, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    Used to always make too many ( well you can never have too many) puds to go with the beef.
    That was the Farmer's Boy in Shepley. Gone a bit gastro now, vegetables 'n that

    Went out for a more traditional meal up there once and brother of Bacchus had Yorkshire Pud with gravy as a starter, beef and Yorkshire Pud for a main, and Yorkshire Pud with jam and custard for a dessert

    It's such a versatile food and covers all the major food-groups. Actually you can make them big enough to cover almost anything (I make a huge slab in a baking tray, don't ponce about with the little round ones...)

    I can't remember the last time we had wine left over in our house.

    If only there was a way to put the cork back in to save you having to drink the whole bottle once opened

    A book of recipes requiring just a small glass of wine leaving the dilemma of what to do with the remainder of the bottle.

    Might make a good plan B. I think I'll call it "Recipes with wine"

    1 Yorkshire Pudding and Gravy
    2 Yorkshire Puddinga and Gravy
    3 Yorkshire Puddinga and Gravy
    Any of the above with meat

    Simple stuff done well...

    Was it a big Yorkshire pud each, or a giant Yorkshire pud between you? These details are important.

    Either way you've made me hungry.
