Hart To Hart's

Do you remember Hart to Hart?

From 1979 to 1984 we followed the globe-trotting adventures of amateur detectives Jonathan and Jennifer Hart played by Robert Wagner and Stefanie Powers.

Robert & I both do a passable impersonation of Max who was played by Lionel Stander. He was the loved up couple's loyal, gravelly-voiced butler, cook, oh & yes, chauffeur.

Having made that bold claim of mimicry, the only oft-repeated phrase by Max which Robert & myself can actually utter is ..

"It was moyder" ('murder' said with a New York twang).  

Anyway . .. I was reminded of this TV show recently when I stayed at Hart's Hotel in Nottingham.

I was in a Garden Room which had fantastic views across the city. An old friend was also staying the night & we met up for supper. 

It was a nice feeling thinking that, after a freshen up, it was just a couple of flights of stairs to a restaurant to go & eat in.

Here were the choices taken ..

To share as a starter ..

Twice Baked Goat Cheese Soufflé with Waldorf Salad

To the mains ..

My chum opts for ..

Pan Fried Halibut with Sautéed Seasonal Root Vegetables, Chorizo & Chickpea Purée

For me ..

Grilled Fillet Steak with Hasselback Potatoes, Asparagus, Chanterelle Mushrooms, Carrot Purée & Red Wine Sauce

Happy faces for both of us. The food was excellent & just what we wanted. Food clearly cooked with care and attention to detail - looked great, tasted wonderful.

Full tums then. 

"Are you having a pudding?"

"No."

"Okay."

"Do you want one?"

"We'll have a look."

Next to arrive at the table then ..

There was a nightcap in my room for both of us where, on the telly, was Sex and The City. My friend had never seen it. 

I mean .. WWHHAATT?

And just like that .. there was a perfect televisual candy floss for the eyes ending to the evening.
