I made good use of the Sainsbury's vouchers I won. I spent them on the makings of a dinner party. Readers of

Plus, we used the posh wedding crockery, which puts things on another plane entirely.
The menu was as follows:
Salade niçoise (as taken from Katharine Whitehorn's immortal Cooking in a Bedsitter; this is not a new recipe to me, however)
Boeuf Bourguignonne with new potatoes and French beans (had to get the Burgundy from M&S, though; they didn't have any in Sainsbury's. Mishmash of slow cooker cookbook and Mary Berry)
Pear and ginger sorbet (Mary Berry recipe, new to me - I thought it could have stood a little more ginger, but the others liked it as it was)
Coffee or tea and chocolates (oh yes, I made very good use of those vouchers...!)
Our guests were Tom W and Anne, and I read Saki's short story A Stalled Ox to general laughter following the meal.
