I had: Entrecôte Marchand de Vin A classic French recipe which has the simplest possible sauce for a fried steak. The red wine bubbles down and deglazes the pan so that all the lovely flavours of the steak are incorporated into the sauce. Followed by: Strawberry and Balsamic Ice Cream with Sweet Strawberry and Mint Salsa The addition of balsamic vinegar to dairy products such as cream and ice cream tempers the richness and adds a subtle flavour. Coupled with its affinity with strawberries and I had something in this ice cream that is both exquisite and unique. What did you have?

thanks ever so much to everyone who contributed today. it was good fun!! i really would have followed whichever way it turned out! must dash home now to tell the missus she's either going skiing, marrying daniel or i'm leaving her for lisa!!! thanks again for a good laugh, see you tomorrow!! x

Daniel, do you remember what you had to eat a week ago last Wednesday?.- probably not. The holiday will hopefully hold many happy memories. Unless the kitchen is really awful,ie. unsafe or a health hazard, the skiing would be more fun, - but not for me thanks!..... Oh, right I see you've decided Paul, now you've got to break the news. Good luck!

have a lovely holiday, best wishes melinda

not a bad thing being married to me just ask my husband!see you soon paul

ok daniel you can have my girlfriend then. but you have to buy her a kitchen!!

Big Mistake. Don't come back to me when you end up married to Lisa.

ok then - the result is - and this is not counting multiple entries lynda and lisa!! skiing = 16. kitchen = 14. yay!!!!! i have just provisionally booked a two week trip to America! best go shopping lisa!!!

come on paul have you decided don't keep me and others in suspense.have you reached a verdict?

So whats the result?

I'm just thinking for the future. Once you have finished skiing and your back thats it - finito, finale, never again, goodbye. But with a new kitchen, yeah, you can have your wife cook for you for the rest of your life! :-) :-)

sod the kitchen take the holiday paul!

daniel i am seriously going to fall out with you.there's a holiday at stake here!

we're all goin on a skiing holiday.no more working for a week or two!

You've already made your decision anyway. It's obvious you want to go skiing really. Your making the wrong choice though.

10 minutes to go!!

lets just hope he doesn't see this site .he would be glad of the peace anyway x

lisa does your husband mind you planning a skiing trip with another man? lol!

I would hate to go skiing, especially at Christmas so I would opt for the kitchen BUT as Lynda says it's about memories. If you would both enjoy that sort of holiday, Go for it and save for the kitchen later.

daniel your depriving me of a free holiday here!
