Paging Mr Creosote

We used to paint wooden fence boards with creosote to keep our horses from chewing or cribbing, what are you using it for?

Warning it's a gross Monty Python sketch.

Yeah, I've always had to look away at some point in that video (not gonna tell you where, but you'll figure it out)

5 little fish courses followed by a 6th of fish pie for dinner.

Which reminds me that elsewhere you mentioned monkfish in the fish pie (I think). Personally I think this a waste of such an expensive and delicious fish. Its a very robust fish which works really well in curries, or in a light Mediterranean stew, for example. Also (I'm sure you know this) you need to remove the membrane if this hasn't been done by the fishmonger.

It's a robust fish that works in many sauces and flavourings, including being a star in fish pie.
But I seem to remember you're not a fish pie fan so I understand you leaning towards other ideas.

All of my kids and grandkids are busy. Our only company will be my parents. I am cooking a rack of pork ribs. My wife is making a pasta dish. I will probably do mushrooms, and another veggie for the rest of the sides.

Absolutely no idea what we're going to do, or eat tomorrow. I imagine it'll probably be grilled meat, meat and meat, although it's possible there could be some more meat involved

Doing something hush hush for work tomorrow, then voting, then settling in to learn the result. Hopefully going to bed feeling a lot better about life.

Food wise - supermarket pizza, I have a busy day.

See if he’ll make you a homemade version of a KFC Double Down:

Two deep-fried chicken breasts for a bun, and some cheese and sauce and bacon for the filling.

Maybe he can slide a burger patty in there!

I think I’ll have to live vicariously through you all for a while yet.

Oh, I've probably had too many bland white sauce concoctions topped with mashed potato. I do love mashed potato but not on top of fish. But if you can make monkfish the star of the fish pie then it could be lovely. Hope you can post photos of you fish courses.

I did think you must have had some awful fish pies!
I blame school dinners and the bad ol' pub food days of yore, some mixed fish cooked in an all in one fashion with a thin but gloopy milky sauce.
I must stop, I'm putting myself off fish pie

I cook the different fishes separately so they maintain the correct taste and texture and only combine it with a good white wine sauce that can stand on its own two feet.
That's done when it's all at it's peak (ie slightly underdone) then it's in the oven for a brief 20 mins just to combine the ingredients.

Tbh it would work equally well deconstructed but then it's no pie is it
