Poor Sheridan! He never stood a chance. This one comes from Series 3, Episode 5: Richard's New Hobby. Our scented candles are available in a variety of fragrances. You have already discovered our wonderful Hyacinth scented candle, but there are many more in our range: Combine the potatoes, eggs, nutmeg, parsley, cheese, salt, and pepper. Add enough flour (you may not need any!) to allow the potatoes to hold their shape. Mold into little patty-shaped cakes. If time allows, refrigerate for 1 hour. Place the butter in a large, deep skillet and turn the heat to medium high. When the butter melts, dredge the cakes in bread crumbs and place in the pan. Cook until brown on one side, about 5 minutes. Turn and brown the other side. Garnish and serve at room temperature. If you have a Guest of Honour like my dear friend Emmet, just watch his face when he takes that first spoonful! His eyes will glaze over almost as delightfully as they do when you’re entertaining him musically. Hence the name: Glazed Carrots. Perhaps that's because he's about to fetch a Daddy from a police station? In Series 4, Episode 5: Looking at Properties, poor Hyacinth is humiliated when the local police have the temerity to take her dear Daddy down to the police station when he's surely just doing what's best for the nation…

In Series 3, Episode 2: Iron Age Remains, Daisy and Onslow arrive to let Hyacinth know of some family troubles – namely, that Rose's hormones are running riot and the vicar is at risk. Poor, delicate Sheridan simply wouldn't be able to cope with it. Repeat the churning procedure like last time. When the glass begins to frost, decorate it with the sugared sprig of mint, insert a long straw and serve. Repeat this process with as many glasses as you have guests. It’s a good way to keep your husband occupied whilst you are preparing your musical entertainment. A little hint:“Rose of England” always goes over well with my own special Guest of Honour. Emmet loves it! Heat oil in a heavy saucepan or skillet over medium heat. Saute cabbage, stirring frequently, until it begins to wilt. Add remaining ingredients and salt and pepper to taste. Increase heat to medium high and boil 10-15 minutes or until cabbage is tender and most of liquid has evaporated. For those who don't already know, Last of the Summer Wine was the world's longest-running sitcom, airing for 37 years, 31 series, and 295 episodes. Apparently, he didn't think that was enough hard work because he also did a two-season prequel called First of the Summer Wine. In Series 2, Episode 10: A Picnic for Daddy, Hyacinth becomes very worried at the sight of dear Daddy driving off with her tuna mayonnaise.Only do this from October to January as that’s when it’s pheasant season. You don’t want roasting pheasant that’s “out” of season. Trust me.) Because when you see your husband upside down in the garden, the first concern is who he's upside down with. Richard, who are you upside down with? I hope it's someone we know.

I have developed two sample menus for your Candlelight Supper with Guest of Honour: one when you’ve got a Major sitting on your right (Better yet: put him on your left, unless you’re left-handed, and then you may wish to put him on your right for the safety of your person); and the other sample menu, even more spectacular than the first if such is possible, is for the Candlelight Supper to which you invite the Director of your local Amateur Operatics Society [N.B. You’ll want to provide a really stellar evening’s musical entertainment for this one!] If there's one thing Hyacinth can't stand, it's being upstaged by people who are supposed to be beneath her. This one comes to us from Series 3, Episode 4: How to Go on Holiday Without Really Trying, just after Hyacinth's been made aware of a neighbour's upcoming Caribbean holiday.This is an especially appropriate dish when the Major is sitting at your right as Guest of Honour.) One can only assume these poorly-trained postmen are the result of austerity cuts throughout Britain. This fun scene comes from Series 4, Episode 1: A Job for Richard. Dice the onion. Combine in a small bowl with all the other ingredients except the lamb. Rub this mixture on the lamb chops and store in a covered GLASS container overnight in the refrigerator. Remove the lamb chops one hour before you are ready to grill them. Prepare your grill. Grill the lamb chops until desired doneness. Remove lamb chops from the grill and let them sit for five minutes. Serve with Port Wine Sauce.
