I did Sunday lunch at my place for the boys today. Duck cassoulet was on the menu; a perfect autumn/winter dish.

I had to go and borrow a casserole dish from my mother, as I didn't have anything large enough to do the recipe in. When I went around, I found that dad had contributed a nice bottle of Chalambar Shiraz 2004 [pdf] to the menu. Thanks!

Again, a very nice meal was enjoyed by all involved.

While at lunch at Gary's place today (it being his turn to put on Sunday lunch), I got a phone call to tell me that my friend Graham had passed away in the morning. He'd battled a brain tumour for over two years. Such a tragic loss at his age. My thoughts are with his family.
