What did you have for dinner?

It's raining and "comfort food" beckons. About twice a year, I enjoy a simple meal of sliced lean corned beef, a respectable portion of mashed potato fried in a modest amount if beef dripping and some baked beans. Eaten with last year's homemade Green Tomato chutney.
The simmered damsons went too liquidy to accommodate a topping of Crumble. So, I cooked the crumble in a shallow dish in the oven until golden brown and plopped some on top of the damsons and poured over some double cream,
I know.... very naughty but nice today.

 

A late 'brunch' of a full English for us, and a chicken slow-roasting in the Aga for later

 

I am rather partial to cottage pie made with corned beef instead of the usual mince.

 

Rib eyed steak (medium well) smothered in a green pepper corn sauce , roast spuds, french beans, red and yellow bell peppers stuffed with Stilton cheese and roasted in the oven.

mmm Spruce is full

 

left husband today with the chore of putting the turkey beast in the oven, it is all ready to go, seasoned and with the foil on it. Lets see how many phone calls I get at work, as yesterday, he had to call me 3 times about baking the potatoes. (I had to go to work). poor baby.

 

In The countryside here we get nowt because it cost more money per house to get it here, but it's getting better it is cheaper for them to pay comperstion
