Sunday roasts

Welcome home, Jenny!!!


Julie - I've often wondered if I'm the only numpty person who makes a traditional Sunday lunch *year round* (yes, even in Summer - I must be mad ... or hen pecked ... or a slave to Mr Mum's demands/manipulations )

Having said that, today I got a reprieve because a) his shift; b) I've not been 100%; and c) I forgot to take a joint out of the freezer

The beauty of cooking a joint is, that it provides more than just one meal. Also, any leftover roast potatoes or yorkshire puddings freeze easily and contribute to another roast dinner in less time/fuel cost (think summer roast dinner shortcuts )

I just love supermarket Christmas joint prices and I save all year to stock up. Why? a) they are such good value!; b) because they are large they can either be cut in half/thirds, or, roasted whole and then the cooked meat frozen for another time/meal.

I hear Sainsbury's have some half price lamb joints on the go at the moment ... I shall be off to stock up on that

 

Great reply mum. Must admit when I see a joint going half price and its large enough ill buy a few. Usually lasts 2 days and feeds my parents and I and my dog. She eats most of our phone we know she can eat along with her own.

 

Ok, what is a joint, other than the weed. thanks.

 

A joint, in meat terms is a sizeable cut that can be boiled,braised or roasted whole and carved into slices afterwards Redstar,

Nothing worse than squashed flat breasts.

 

You've done it now, i've got a Monday Roast on the go

 

SNAP!!!!

I've popped a chicken in (and there will be *no* squashed flat breasts in Mum's house ); I'll make some roasted mediterranean veg, roast potatoes, couscous stuffing, yorkshire puddings, steamed carrots and peas.

What are you having Zigs?

 

Tiddies, Chicken Stylee Quorn lumps, peas, french beans, yorkshire puds & gravy.

 

Ah, hmm, yup (you sold it to me on the word: lumps) ... you enjoy it my friend. Sorry I couldn't make it round to yours to share your culinary fea(s)t - I'll just have to suffer my own today

 

Ha!! I've just learned a new bit of scripting shortcut: who knew using [ s ] would turn everything into crossed out mode

 

No Chickens were harmed in the making of this dinner

 

Ooh, yummy!!

Is that mint sauce on your peas/beans?

 

Mint Jelly & some home made apple sauce from 2011, didn't have any apples last year
