Pineapple..

Last night's pineapple dish was a triumph. VT had bought the pineapple earlier on in the week because he had seen a dish in one of the weekend magazines he fancied doing. it was really a barbecue dish, but the weather was definitely not up to that last night so he did it indoors. We haave a griddle pan, which gets very little use because of course we don't have meat or fish, and don't really bother doing vegetables on it. So that got dug out of its hiding place in the cupboard under the stairs and utilised for this dish.VT sliced the pineapple, the first time he had done that, and I think he was surprised just how much you have to take off the skin before you get to the flesh.
While he was griddling the pineapple I made the toffee sauce which was to die for actually. He griddled it beautifully and got some lovely charred marks on the flesh, so it looked good on the plate. Totally delicious, and would be great done on the barbecue if so inclined.

Delicious....
Today he went off to Formby, mainly to the bank, he is moving money around to get a bit more interest..Fat chance these days. No money in saving. it's a pity we didn't put our savings into gold years ago..that would have been worth a bit nowadays.
Tonight we are having:
Sausages(Quorn)
Vegetables in a gratin with potatoes etc.
